A morning in Setúbal starts with salt on the air and the Sado estuary pulling the eye toward a flat horizon where dolphins sometimes break the surface—the town’s port still guides the rhythm of local life. The tour moves from market stalls piled with fresh fish to the narrow lanes of Azeitão, where ceramic dust and grape scents announce a different craft entirely.
