Arrabida Natural Park

The Nature Park of Arrábida is a protected area, founded in 1976 and covering an area of 108 square kilometres, situated between the town of Sesimbra and the city of Setúbal, the hill of Palmela and the sea, including areas in the municipalities of Setúbal, Palmela, and Sesimbra in the Portuguese Península de Setúbal region, district of Setúbal.

Francisco and Louro—reach their highest peak in Serra da Arrábida, covered in Mediterranean-like vegetation and a microclimate of which resemble Adriatic locations such as Dalmatia, and chalky in constitution where the range comes into contact with the sea.
