More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll south across the 25 de Abril Bridge and the cityscape of Lisbon shrinks behind you—salted Atlantic air arrives first, then the low, folded hills of the Setúbal peninsula. The day moves at a steady, sociable rhythm: a stop for a cliff-top view of Tróia and the bay, a small tile workshop where hands still follow old patterns, then into vineyards that have been coaxing Moscatel and table wines for nearly two centuries.
