The day begins on the bridge out of Lisbon, the Tag River shrinking behind you as limestone ridges of the Serra da Arrábida rise like a folded coastline. Driving into the park, the air sharpens with salt and rosemary; cliffs peel down to sheltered coves and the road opens onto the Sado estuary where dolphins slice the surface with casual intent.
