About the Arrábida Natural Park

Located by the sea, between Setúbal and the fishing town of Sesimbra, the Arrábida Natural Park has an incomparable beauty where the blue of the sea is interspersed with the white hues of the limestone formations and the green of the lush vegetation that covers the mountains.

The wealth of vegetation is one of the park’s biggest attractions. Here you will find one of the rare examples of Mediterranean maquis, and the preservation of this vegetation was one of the reasons for considering this mountain range an international scientific relic. To keep it intact, access to some parts of the park is only possible with a guide designated by the park.

CORINE Biotope

The nature park is included in international conservation networks. The entire territory is classified as an area of special conservation interest – CORINE Biotope.

Several walks have been set out in the park where you will be accompanied by experienced guides.
