Lagosteiros Natural Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

At the top of the cliff that embraces Lagosteiros beach, a piece of prehistory stands the test of time: the Lagosteiros Natural Monument. Traces left by dinosaurs over 130 million years ago can still be seen imprinted in the yellowish limestone.

Among the various fossilized trails, one stands out, measuring an impressive 50 meters long, a true trace of the past, engraved in stone.

View of the Arrábida coast

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, the view opens up over the bay, with the sea stretching out before you, immense and majestic. If the weather is good, you might be able to see, to the southeast, the gentle undulations of the Grândola mountains, appearing on the horizon.

Fort of Saint Dominic of Baralha

Highlight • Historical Site

The Fort of São Domingos da Baralha or Forte da Baralha is located next to Praia da Baleeira, between Cabo Espichel and Sesimbra, in the District of Setúbal, Portugal. It was built in the 17th century, as part of the kingdom's defensive strategy implemented by D. João IV, and was begun during the reign of D. Afonso VI, thus contributing to the protection and surveillance of the coast.

Considered at the time to be the first defence of the Arrábida coast, this fort is currently abandoned and in ruins.

Chã dos Navegantes Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On this trail between Chã dos Navegantes and Forte de São Domingos da Baralha, the landscape surprises you with every step. As you descend to the walls of the fort, you will notice the so-called "Horst do Forte da Baralha", a block of ancient rocks that rises between parallel faults, surrounded by more recent limestone.

Turning south, Rechã dos Navegantes looks like an immense step carved by time, with the field of lapiás just below, marked by marine erosion. The scenery is simply incredible!
