UNESCO Biosphere Reserve: Arrábida.
Imagine limestone cliffs plunging into the azure ocean, framing a landscape of fragrant scrublands, dense forests, and hidden caves. Beneath the waves, a vibrant marine world thrives.
This is a land of stunning biodiversity:
-Home to over 40% of Portugal’s flora.
-Sanctuary to 200+ vertebrate & 2,000+ marine species.
Here, nature and culture are deeply intertwined. Nearly 68,000 people in historic towns and fishing ports maintain a sustainable bond with their environment, preserving traditions like artisanal fishing and Moscatel wine production.
This is a living landscape, where ancient practices secure a balanced future.
