Traveling through Encumeada (1007 meters) until São Vicente, we will have the pleasure of experiencing the sense and the beauty of our Laurissilva forest. São Vicente's beauty is comparable to that of the prior valley, which is enhanced by the vineyard terraces' distinctive charm. From São Vicente to Seixal, we will begin the area with numerous waterfalls, which we can say that one is better than the other.

The beauty of Seixal is unmatched, not only due to the black sandy beach, but also because of the waterfalls and the old road that we can see from there, creating unforgettable moments captured in that magnificent place.
