A private minivan slips off the motorway and the noise of Lisbon thins to the far-off hum of the city. Green slopes of Arrábida rise ahead—limestone ridges dropping to bays of clear blue that dare you to step closer. The guide opens a map, points to hidden coves, and the day begins: villages, viewpoints, a bottle or two of local wine.
