2. **Mercado do Livramento** (30m) - From Tuesday to Saturday, starting on the 1st of June, we stop at the Market of Setúbal, considered one of the most beautiful and lively markets in the world: from exotic local fishes to vegetable, fruits, bakeries and cheese.
3. **Castelo de Palmela** (45m) - Only on mondays: Visit the Palmela Castle and ascend the walls and tower for an amazing photo opportunity
4. **Jose Maria de Fonseca** (1h; admission included) - You will then follow your guide to a wine tasting session at Casa Museu Jose Maria da Fonseca, one of the oldest wine-producers in Portugal. Enjoy a guided tour of the winery and sample two wines (included) from a wide selection of regional wines.
5. **Parque Natural da Arrabida** (pass by, no stop) - Continue to the northern shore of the Sado River and discover the beauty of Arrabida Natural Park. Climb to the tallest peak at 1,640 feet (500 meters) and gaze over the verdant park towards the Atlantic and the beaches below.
6. **Castelo de Sesimbra** (1h 30m) - Stop for a fresh seafood lunch (own expense) in the charming fishing town of Sesimbra. Spend more free time strolling along lively streets or continue for a walk along golden beaches.
7. **Quinta do Alcube** (1h; admission included) - Visit a beautiful local family owned wine farm in the heart of Arrábida park, where it is time to taste some wine
8. **Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei** (45m) - Finally, visit the Cristo Rei Sanctuary, inaugurated in 1959 and inspired by the famous Cristo Rei monument in Brazil, and admire Lisbon from a distance before returning to the city.
