You step into a white van stamped with a palm-tree logo and leave Lisbon’s urban hum behind; the city’s tilework and trams shrink as the road opens toward the Atlantic. The driver-guide eases into a narrative about headlands, fishing villages and the limestone cliffs ahead, and within an hour you’re pulling into a high viewpoint that lays the Arrábida Park coastline before you — wind and salt daring you to look further.
