A very interesting new experience

Officially considered one of the most beautiful bays of the world, the bay of Setubal is an absolutely fabulous sight. The city is now recreating several vacation options. If you're there, check out the Setubal Express, a tourism train that runs on a day trip into Alentejo, and serves regional cuisine on board. The dinner part is an absolutely fabulous experience as it is served while the train returns to Setubal on a one hour leg through a nature preserve during sunset. There is another train that runs from there, and allows you to have lunch on the train, then it stops beside a river and you can get on board a boat and have dinner as the boat returns through the Sado river. I highly recommend this trip also. Among the other things to do, (although I didn't get much time) kite sailing, night parties (fireworks from boats) they have night boats that set sail from the port with music, DJ's open bars like floating discos etc these start at around 10pm and go on till sunrise. Golfing or just relaxing at the beach. I think this is an interesting experience compared to the usual visits to Portugal. I recommend it.
