...With a beautifully untouched provincial atmosphere, fascinating whitewashed old town, Evora has been a cultural oasis for
2,000 years. Part of the town is enclosed by ancient walls and has been preserved in its original state, as well as its
monuments dating from various historical periods. It was known by the Romans and vestiges from this period still remain.
Évora was wrested from the moors by a Christian Knight and flourished as one of the most dynamic cities in the Kingdom of
Portugal during Middle Ages. The court was resident here for long spells and Évora became the scene where many important
decisions were made. During the XIV, XV and XVI centuries, it was formerly a major center for the humanities. The university
was founded in 1551, and it was here that great European Masters passed on their knowledge. The many monuments erected
by the major artists of each period now testify to Évora's lively cultural, artistic and historical past. The variety of
architectural styles (roman, gothic, manueline, mannerist, baroque), the palaces and even the squares and narrow streets are
all part of the rich heritage of this museum-city...
...The forest-clad, elongated hummock of the Serra da Arrábida is a veritable oasis of natural vegetation amid the
suburban sprawl of the Setúbal peninsula, with an incredibly diverse wildlife to match. Along the shore of the Sado
estuary, its sheer flanks drop sharply into a turquoise sea, the pale limestone cliffs eaten away at the base to form small
sandy coves. Although the 50km-long ridge of the Arrábida attains a maximum of only 501m (Alto do Formosinho), the
views from the top are truly spectacular, giving the impression of much greater altitude. More than 1,000 species of
vascular plants have been recorded from the Arrábida natural park. Situated to the south of the peninsula is the hub
Setubal, actually Portugal's third largest port after Lisbon and Porto. Renowned for both its fishing and fish restaurants
and its many historic buildings and museums, Setubal makes a superb Portugal holiday base or indeed a day trip. To the
west of Setubal centre are stunning beaches backed on by the Arrabida Natural Park. To the south is the natural reserve
of the Sado estuary, home to numerous birds and wildlife including bottle-nosed Dolphins...
