You arrive over the Tagus as the city thins and cliffs appear—green slopes dropping toward a restless Atlantic. The statue of Christ the King watches over Almada; below, the coastline of the Arrábida peninsula stretches in folded limestone cliffs and pine-scrub ridges. On this private day tour you move from urban vantage points to Mediterranean maquis and into an age-old estate where barrels breathe history.
