The minivan slips south across the 25th of April Bridge and Lisbon's rooftops fall behind. Within an hour the road climbs into Arrábida’s limestone folds, where chalk cliffs plunge toward turquoise water and a breeze pushes salt and grape scents through the windows. Travelers step out at a cliff viewpoint, the Atlantic pressing at the base of a 380 m escarpment, before the group winds down to a stony cove and white-sand beaches like Portinho and Figueirinha.
