Welcome to Portugal!
Once you’ve arrived, our guide will take you to the captivating town of Azóia. Located on the coastline close to Cape da Roca, which is the westernmost point of Europe’s mainland, it lies within the Sintra municipality and is renowned for its wineries and special vines that thrive in sandy soil exposed to maritime climates. To truly enjoy your time here we recommend taking a leisurely stroll around, indulging in scrumptious Portuguese cuisine and unwinding at your quaint hotel before seeing what else this fantastic destination has to offer.Transfer from Lisbon 0:45 h

Day 2 Hike from Azóia to Praia Grande
Explore and conquer the stunning Cape Roca!
Following a delightful breakfast, why not step outside and explore the stunning views of the ocean from the cliftops? You will soon find yourself at Cape Roca; this is mainland Europe’s westernmost point and boasts a marvelous lighthouse which has stood since 1772. Along this rocky peninsula lies Ursa beach, an area with remarkable scenery. Another option for lunch may be Adraga beach, but you may also want to visit Praia Grande too.
