The second place we visied was the Arrabida Natural Park. It is famous for its golden beaches and secluded bays, Arrabida Natural Park stretches along the southeastern coastline of the Setubal peninsula. A protected area sheltering Mediterranean plant and animal wildlife, the vast park covers more than 100 sq km of mountainous landscapes covered with olives, pistachios, and lavender. The park's hills serve as a permanent home to a large population of native deer and boar, while the lower areas protect butterflies, beetles, eagles, and kestrels.

Our aim was to get to know the traditions of a cozy fishing village in the picturesque town of Sesimbra and make the film about this fisherman village as the final product of our project. We strolled through the town's old, narrow streets as we tasted delicious pastry made only here. When we reached the port, we walked around the docks, then saw a fisherman's warehouse. We liked it.
