While the preservation of the coast ensures the quality of the water and the sand, the truth is that Torres Vedras also counts on 3,000 acres that are assumed as a great destination for the practice of nature tourism: Socorro and Archeira Hills Protected Local Landscape. A county where the vineyards melt into the landscape, the slopes, the hills, and the Atlantic Ocean, providing unique characteristics to the grapes that create wines with character and elegance, perfect to combine with the local gastronomy and the famous Pastel de Feijão (Bean Cake) of Torres Vedras.
From gastronomy to adventure, from wine tourism to well-being, there will be no shortage of reasons to want to stay and to return!
