Picturesque fishing village located next to a sheltered bay. Sesimbra was founded at the top of the hill, around the castle of
the Moors that the 1st king of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, conquered in 1165. Its history dates back to antiquity and is still
very present due to its monuments and fishing traditions. It remains to this day one of the main fishing ports in the region.

On the way to Setubal, you will cross the Arrabida Natural Park, where you will have the opportunity to discover magnificent viewpoints overlooking the Sado river estuary.
Let yourself be enchanted by the crystal clear waters and the view of the Troia Peninsula, on the south bank of the Sado.

It is considered one of the most famous fish markets in the world. Inaugurated in 1930, it features cast iron columns
inside and walls covered in panels with 5700 typical Portuguese tiles depicting scenes from everyday life, such as fishing and
agriculture. Those who visit it are not indifferent to the fresh products of the
sea and land that are sold in this market.

Now that the visit to Mercado do Livramento has whetted your appetite, you deserve to take a break to enjoy fresh
grilled fish or the essential Choco Frito accompanied by French fries, a traditional dish from the Setubalense cuisine.
