Located on the coastline and largely the result of an ocean retreat, the parish of Costa da Caparica covers an area of 10.74 km2, between the sea and the escarpment. It is the longest continuous beach in the country, stretching for approximately 30 km. The protected landscape of the Costa de Caparica Fossil Cliff has geological and geomorphological aspects of great interest, not only from a scientific point of view, but also in terms of scenic beauty. The beautiful forms of erosion it presents, its ochre tones and abundant gullies crowned with vegetation, provide an unusual backdrop to the entire line of beaches.
Lisbon is an illuminated city. The Tejo river and the sun, which is almost always present, make the Portuguese capital a mirror of color, in which the beauty and uniqueness of the architecture do not go unnoticed. In Lisbon, there is always so much to see and do, opening up a world of possibilities for the most varied experiences.
