Start off in Setúbal and enjoy a drink along the
riverfront after an energetic cruise along the coast of
the Atlantic. Spend the night in either the historic Castle of St.
Filipe or the magnificent Quinta dos Moinhos, both with spectacular
views over the city below, and the vast blue of the Atlantic Ocean.
After breakfast the next day, you'll head to the small fishing town
of Carrasqueira to see the colorful fishing boats lined up and ready
for use. Stop off in the village of Comporta to satisfy your sweet
tooth at a local pastelaria, then visit the fabulous Museu do Arroz
for a tea on the veranda overlooking the expanse of rice fields
below, filled with the white storks of the estuary. Continue along
the Estuary, following the Sado River to the ancient Moorish city
on the river, Alcacer do Sal. Your second night will be spent at
the enchanting Castle Pousada of Dom Afonso II, looking out and
over the Estuary.
