パルケナチュラルダアラビダ周辺のおすすめシティハイキング＆ウォーキング

An excellent beach, although lacking in infrastructure and difficult to access, it's a super pleasant place, ideal for relaxing and recharging. Nearby, I also visited Mijona Beach and Hell Beach, which offer more challenging access but always boast immense natural beauty. I recommend it for those who don't have mobility issues and appreciate nature. 👍🥾🦯

As it is a wild beach and difficult to access, there is no support equipment of any kind or lifeguards. Don't forget to bring water and food, and on the way back make sure to take all your rubbish with you (there are bins near the car park, at the start of the trail)! If you prefer to stay in the shade, you will need to bring a parasol. Also note that the name of the beach is Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo and not Praia da Ribeira do Cavalo, as it is often called.

It's near the port in Setubal. It's pretty big. There is everything you need for eating / cooking: Fish, meat, cheese, etc. There are small dining places all around. Also fine art: Azulejos and figures. Very nice to look at and dine.

The piece is called “The Cat and the Wind” and is by the artist Ricardo Romero. It is located on top of the Casa do Turismo de Setúbal. If you have ever been for a walk in the Baixa district, you must have noticed the enormous black cat installed on the roof of the Casa do Turismo de Setúbal, in Praça do Bocage. As soon as the sculpture was installed in 2021, several images of the piece began to be shared on social media, accompanied by some questions related to the artist. After a few days of secrecy, the local authority revealed that the acrylic resin sculpture, measuring 3.80 metres long and 2.30 metres high, is by the artist Ricardo Romero, from the Matilha Studio project, known for developing works that combine urban art with social and animal causes. The piece is called “The Cat and the Wind” and, according to the artist, aims to draw attention to the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the lack of contemplation of art. “People are very used to classical statuary in cities. They look at things and don’t see them, they don’t appreciate them. Life can be lived if we contemplate it at the same time”, explained Ricardo in the same note. Despite having several possible interpretations, the work, adds Carla Tavares, Ricardo Romero’s project manager, invites the population to stop and reflect on the rush that is life today.

Foodies with adore Setúbal's indoor Mercado do Livramento. It's an incredible place to head to sample those typical Portuguese flavours from bacalhau (salt-dried cod) to pasteis de nata (custard tarts). The array of fresh produce on sale here is simply mesmerising, with around 300 independent vendors all housed under the one roof. The fact that the market remains an integral part of Setúbal life and culture makes the market all the more impressive to behold. Wander this vast warehouse-like space to soak up the atmosphere, or make your way among the stalls to pick and choose the very best ingredients for a picnic like no other. Seasonal fruits are always piled high, as are olives and other locally-grown foodstuffs. But the star of the show here for 140 years has been the market's fish, which arrive here fresh from the fishermen's boats each day. It's best to get here early to grab the best produce and enjoy the liveliest atmosphere.

Address: Av. Luísa Todi, 163, Setúbal. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 7am to 2pm.

Opened in 1876 and replaced by a new building in 1930, the Livramento Market was voted one of the best fish markets in the world by USA Today in 2016. In addition to seafood, the market, which has 132 stalls and 44 stores, also sells vegetables, fruits, herbs and regional products, such as wine, honey and various types of bread. These are the ingredients used in some of the best restaurants in Setúbal, Lisbon and Cascais.
