Until sunset tapas full#

Visitors from around the globe, as well as locals, flock to Mallory Square nightly to join the celebration. The festivities begin two hours before sunset. The sunset celebration is a tradition that has been going on in Key West since the 1960s. Mallory SquareĪt Mallory Square, sunset is more of a festive occasion than a time of day. Each spot has its nuances which resonate with different people. There are numerous places you can go to see the sunset in Key West. We’ll cruise down the coast as the last of the golden rays sparkle off the ocean and finish in the fisherman’s village turned upscale holiday hotspot of Cascais. Lace up those shoes and hike back up to the jeep. The next hour and a half will be over before you know it. It’s a 30-minute hike down to the sand, so come prepared with proper shoes! At the bottom we’ll set up a picnic rug, sweet tunes and a spread of Portuguese “petiscos” including cheese, chouriço (chorizo), bread, wine and more.

Hold on tight, we’re heading off-road to reach our secret beach. Popping out from Sintra’s lush forests at the stunning coastline, you’ll see mainland Europe’s westernmost point – the beautiful Cabo da Roca cliffs and lighthouse. We’ll stop along the way for the best of the photo moments, of course. Look out for the famous and protected palaces and monuments as we drive through the historic village. We’ll pick you up from Sintra Portela train station in our convertible jeeps. If you have any dietary requirements please let us know in advance.*** For safety reasons this may be cancelled due to weather conditions.

If you do not bring correct footwear or are extremely unfit, our team may have to leave you at the jeep. *** The hike to the beach can be challenging. Since it is only a half day, you can combine it with one of our morning cultural journeys, which explore UNESCO World Heritage Sintra palaces and more. In one afternoon you can enjoy the best of Portugal’s stunning coastline, taste local Portuguese food and wine and go off-road in Sintra’s mysterious forests. This is our most popular hiking experience for good reason. With stunning cliffs and rock formations, you might have 99 problems, but a beach ain’t one. You can swim in the salty ocean, kick a ball on the sand, or just sit back with a few glasses of local wine and appreciate the stunning sunset.

We’ll set up a picnic spread of traditional Portuguese “petiscos” (that’s our word for tapas) stacked full of cheese, chouriço (chorizo), bread and other snacks. Once we reach the soft, golden sand – just relax. Make sure you bring proper shoes for this part! Flip flops/thongs/jandals/foot wedgies (or whatever you call those rubber-toe-shoes in your country) won’t make the cut.

The dirt hiking trail twists and turns along a steep route but it’s only about half an hour to get down to the sand.

These off-road, unmarked trails pop out on the coastline where we’ll see the westernmost point of Europe – the incredible cliffs of Cabo da Roca – and our sunset journey begins. We’ll pick you up in one of our legendary convertible jeeps and take a brief look at historic Sintra’s best sights and palaces before hitting our favourite forest tracks. So come with us to watch the sky turn warm shades of gold with sand between your toes, salty hair, wine in one hand and a sweet soundtrack adding to the atmosphere. The natural beauty of our country’s coastline is breathtaking on its own, but everything’s better with delicious wine and food. No trip to Portugal is complete without watching the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.
