Day 1 - Lisbon Espichel Sesimbra Arrabida Alcacer do Sal

Day 1 of the trip took us from the hotel in Lisbon to Cabo Espichel where we stopped and took some photos and videos and also met with the President (Tiago) and Vice President of the BMW Motorrad Fans Club.

Tiago then led us through the town of Sesimbra (popular vacation place for Portuguese people). 

We then rode the beautiful Arrábida Mountain with views of the sea below. 

We then stopped at Portinho da Arrabida for lunch where we were treated to a Portuguese favorite, Robalo grelhado (grilled fish).

In the afternoon we visited a WWII fort and then rode to take the ferry from Setubal to Troia.

We then enjoyed some twisties and made our way to the accommodation for the night the Hotel Pousada do Castelo in Alcacer do Sal. This Pousada is built inside old castle walls and has a beautiful view of the town and river Sado below.

We walked to and back from dinner in the town below.
