Testimonial of our maritime history, in this hike we will explore the ruins of the Forte da Baralha, which since the 17th century was part of the defence complex against buccaneers and pirates who raided the Arrábida coast.  We can also see, in this calm cove, old structures used as support by the crews of passing ships, before and during their voyages.

The Chã dos Navegantes extends along a rocky plateau, carved in the escarpment of the Cabo Espichel, where the mountain meets the sea to create a place of incredible beauty. Old trails where encounters with wildlife and charming views are always guaranteed.
