Placed
in
an
elevated
location
of
the
Arrábida
mountain
range,
in
the
city
of
Setúbal,
is
the
Fort
of
São
Filipe.
There
we
can
enjoy
an
excellent
360
degree
panoramic
view
over
the
city
of
Setúbal
itself,
the
estuary
of
the
River
Sado
and
the
sea,
the
Troia
peninsula
on
the
other
side
of
the
estuary,
and
the
Arrábida
mountain.
At
the
end
of
October
the
mountain
is
covered
with
green.
If
you're
lucky
enough
to
time
your
visit
with
a
rainy
late
afternoon,
with
small
bags
of
fog
climbing
the
mountain
behind
while
already
torn
clouds
spread
troughtout
the
blue
sky
with
shades
of
white
and
gray
while
reflecting
the
bright
orange
color
of
the
late
afternoon
sun,
all
of
it
adds
to
the
atmosphere
of
the
place,
and
you
have
a
kind
of
dreamy
landscape...
Inside
the
fort
of
São
Filipe,
in
addition
to
what
is
usual
within
a
fort
like
the
sentinel
houses,
there
is
a
charming
chapel,
walls
covered
with
Portuguese
tiles
whose
drawings,
painted
in
that
typical
blue
color,
represent
religious
scenes.
In
a
nearby
courtyard,
a
house
encloses
a
tourist
information
desk
and
a
small,
elegantly
decorated
bar,
but
those
who
prefer
can
sit
in
the
courtyard
enjoying
the
panoramic
view
of
the
river
estuary,
watching
the
large
ships
leaving
the
port
sailing
towards
the
sea,
and
enjoying,
perhaps
with
friends,
a
refreshing
drink
and
eating
some
pastrie
and
cakes
bought
from
the
bar.
For
short,
it
is
a
very
good
place
to
visit
or
for
a
short
relax,
alone
or
with
friends
at
any
time
of
the
year
