The Arrábida Natural Park sits on the northern slope of the Sado River estuary in Portugal. The park was founded in 1976 and covers 108 square kilometres (41.7 miles²). The highest point in the park is marked by the Serra da Arrábida, 499 m (1637 ft) high. The park covers the Arrábida Hills, which mediterranean-like vegetation and microclimate resemble Adriatic locations such as Dalmatia.
Two of the park beaches are popular among the inhabitants of Lisbon and Setúbal. Those beaches are Portinho da Arrábida and Figueirinha. The first one, on a small bay, and with a little island off the shore, is especially famous, being a regular feature on Portuguese TV commercials. In 2004, a fire destroyed a significant part of the park, which is now slowly recovering.

No cimo da serra, em direcção às antenas, sem topónimo conhecido e com apenas punhado de vias, aqui se reclina este sector, meio escondido com medo de alguma proibição e meio envergonhado da sua pouca envergadura.
This was shot in Serra da Arrábida, a really wonderful place just off of Setúbal.
That little chapel is the most important one of the whole set of chapels in the mountain, it is part of a privately own convent, I have tried to get in there but the great big gat at the beggining wouldn't let me.
On the background you can see Troia, which is a very touristic place just of Setubal.
El Ponte da Arrábida, proyectada por el ingeniero de puentes Edgar Cardoso, a la fecha de su construcción, en 1963, era el puente con el mayor arco de hormigón del mundo. Tiene 615m de largo, y una anchura de 27m. Es el más occidental de todos los puentes que conectan Oporto con Vila Nova de Gaia, estando a corta distancia de la foz del Rio Duero.
