Sitting atop Portugal’s Serra da Arrábida with views over the Tagus and Sado estuaries, Palmela Castle (Castelo de Palmela) has been a strategic vantage point and military stronghold since the Moors occupied the land. The structure was converted into a monastery in 1423, which was crucial in preserving the structure that we see today.

Amazing views from so many different vantage points
Our guide Paulo was wonderful! He was very accommodating with our interests. As a result of reading the recommendations about the trip we asked for an alternative lunch restaurant and loved it! The views were spectacular. We walked a total of two miles to the various sites and it was spread over 8 hours. Perfect day!
