In case you have not yet been here, you really should come now to experience a region that is rapidly transforming from an undiscovered gem to the new place to be.

Close on the heels of Condé Nast Traveler and Forbes' recent coverage - The Times and The Sunday Times have now discovered the beauty of what they describe as "one of Portugal’s most criminally unsung regions". And feeling lucky to be living in the charming village of Azeitão right in the middle of it all - I couldn't agree more.

I thought it fitting to include the photo below (taken on a hike in the hills of Arrábida) of one of the first insiders in the know to discover and appreciate this region.

It's time to discover Arrábida, a natural park, around the villages of Azeitão, Palmela and Sesimbra, in the district of Setúbal - just 35 minutes south of Lisbon, Portugal and its international airport.

The secret is out.

Forbes and Condé Nast Traveler have finally discovered my hidden gem: the beautiful region of Arrábida, a natural park, around the villages of Azeitão, Palmela and Sesimbra, just 35 minutes south of Lisbon, Portugal, in the district of Setúbal.

My home for the past 9 years (and where I started Morpho Real Estate) and probably one of the last undiscovered secrets in Europe of its type - stunning beaches, nature, castles and vineyards; all basking in the sunshine on the doorstep of the capital.

I took the photo on one of the many beautiful beaches in this region (Meco beach). Note the sign saying "Natureza cura a alma" - Nature heals the soul.
