ACROSS THE RIVER .....        
Heading south across the 25th April Bridge, under the watchful eye of Christ the Redeemer, we make our way towards the charming village of Azeitão.

Our first stop will be to admire the magnificent view of Lisbon from the base of the statue of "Cristo Rei - Christ the King".
After a brief stop to sample the famous Azeitão sponge “tortas”  at one of the oldest cafés in town,  we head for the hills.
 Driving through lush, green countryside and ever upwards, we arrive at the spectacular viewpoint overlooking the 16th century Arrabida Monastery.  Each further photo stop unfolds stunning vistas to both north and south.

Our tour now takes us through the city of Setubal until we arrive at the legendary Castle of Palmela where a light lunch will be served.  From the castle ramparts there is a panoramic view of the city of Setubal and beyond to the Troia Peninsula, once home to a thriving Roman port.

A visit to a small independent artisan tiles workshop follows, after which we join the “Art, Wine and Passion  tour” at the Bacalhôa Winery. This winery surprises with its exclusive glimpse into a small part of the private collection of a self-made millionaire, Joe Berardo.  While casks of wine age gently to the sound of music, African Art delights the eye.

From hand-picked grapes to hand-made tiles, from age-old cake recipes to walls steeped in the history of battle between the Moors and the Christian Crusaders, this day trip embodies Portugal’s history and heritage over the past two thousand years.
