SETÚBAL PORTUGAL - Beach and Harbour Walk - Best Value Lunch Deal in Portugal
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 10. 2021
- SETÚBAL is a fascinating port city in Portugal, less than an hour from the capital, Lisbon.
We spent 2 weeks there in August and had such a great time that we'll be making at least 5 or 6 videos showing the highlights of this wonderful city!
In this second video we take a walk down to the beach... only to discover the sea mist has rolled in!
We also:
- check out the Maritime Mural wall
- talk Choco Frito
- find possibly THE BEST LUNCH DEAL in town
- take a walk along the sea promenade
- find the dolphin statues
- check out an enormous auditorium in the middle of a square
- AND eat the best value and possibly tastiest meal we've had in Portugal!
The next video will feature the stunning Fortelaza de São Filipe and the Casa da Baia, a walk around town and another excellent restaurant.
😁 Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this video, and SHARE with your friends!
There will be many more videos to come as we are travelling indefinitely.

We hope you enjoy it! ~ Mandy 😁😀
That fish display is amazing! I love it!
I'm so pleased! I really wanted to include the fish mural forcall those interested in learning Portuguese and coming to Setúbal, but was concerned it might drag on too long. Thank you for the positive feedback! ~ Mandy
Ohhh! I love the walk to the beach! I could imagine the salty wind hitting my face while walking around there 😍
It was a great day out, and not actually very windy, just misty. Isn't there something so invigorating about being by the water! 😁😀 ~ Mandy
Setúbal, capital of southern Portugal!🇵🇹👍🏻
Setúbal is amazing! We loved it there, and are looking forward to going back someday! 😃🙏 ~ Mandy
Hey just wanted to say I love you all’s videos! Very chill and “real” :) muito obrigado from Florida USA!

Great video guys, your meal looked very nice and it looked like a great choice too. Loved the views of the seafront even if it was a little Misty 😉😊
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Setúbal is amazing, even when it's misty, and there are some excellent restaurants there. We're so pleased you enjoyed the video! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
Happy weekend. Will wait for the premiere
That's so lovely, thank you! It's our first premiere so we don't quite know what to expect! 🤣 ~ Mandy
Oh how much I missed all the good foods. I was too rushing around to see everything but forget to eat good stuff. Next time I need to slow down and taking time. Thanks for sharing another wonderful video. Happy travel.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! You definitely have to slow down and try the delicious food the next time you're in Setúbal! We found some great restaurants, and will be showing another one next week! ~ Mandy
Most excellent! Fortunately I was having lunch while watching this but still, my mouth was watering!
It was absolutely delicious, Cindy! And at that price, we just had to go back! 😁😃 ~ Mandy
Beautiful places !! 😍 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I absolutely loved Setúbal... it is raw and slightly gritty, and had such excellent value and delicious restaurants! ~ Mandy 😀😁
@@FrugalTravellers It looked so good !! 👍 I got hungry ,so I cooked my dinner & watched this & the other one at the same time as eating ,haha ,because you always have some scenes of you two munching on some foods & sweets !! Lol. 😆👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
@@spark_6710 The food was so good in Portugal, we had to share it and hope to help people find some great bargains. Enjoy your dinner! 😋😋😋 ~ Lee

Magnifico !! I am taking your Setubal videos one day at a time to let them sink in . I am engrossed . It has been very difficult to get in or out of Hong Kong over the last two and a half years but your work provides us with plenty of material for future plans . Our last trip was to Lisbon - regretably we didn't make it to Setubal . Have you ever been to the wonderful town of Tomar ? Many thanks .
We're so pleased to hear that you are enjoying our Setúbal videos as it is a fascinating city, with great value restaurants! We were last in Hong Kong in April 2018, which is when I set up Frugal Travellers 😃😁 We were actually in Tomar last week! We spent 7 nights in that fascinating Knights Templar town, and there'll be a few videos coming out in probably July. Thank you for your lovely comments, we're so happy that you discovered our channel! ~ Mandy
Street art, Dolphins 🐬 klass , meal 🥘 looked the business 😎👍
Setúbal is amazing even on a misty day 😃😁 Thank you for watching and for taking the time to write one of your great comments 🙏😁 ~ Mandy
Setúbal is a great city and we loved our time there. Check out this video on our beach experience:
czcams.com/video/VB99avYnKpg/video.html
Thank you, Bruno Reis for correcting the name of the park we walked along. Turns out it's the Jardim da Saúde, not the name from Google Maps! Well spotted, Bruno! 🙏😃
Thank you also to Nadelina from czcams.com/users/TravelwithNadelina for the Leo do Choco Frito recommendation! We didn't make it there this time around but will go the next time we're in Setúbal.
You'll be seeing more of Nadelina in our next video. We recommend her channel for interesting and extremely informative Setúbal videos, and from other places in Portugal 😃😁 ~ Mandy
In Setúbal, go to the Parque de Bonfim. Our take a bus to Palmela Old Viladge near the Castell of Palmela...it´s a 15 minuts walk to the heighst spot of Castell, the "tower of the fire" and there´s a peculiar story of that fire...the Bus tickets will cost about 2.30€ per person..and you can see a lovely sight of Setúbal Tróia and the rest of the coast line to Grandôla...
Thank you for this lovely comment, and for taking part in our first ever premiere! We have another 3 Setúbal videos, as we loved your city! Unfortunately this time we didn't go to Pamela, but will definitely go next time! The Parque de Bonfim was so cool and will probably be in the last video 😁😀 Thank you again! ~ Mandy
I like the old streets and the walk along the river. It was very foggy indeed. I didn’t know it’s not allowed to swim in the Praia da Saude I never go to this one. Hmmm Choco Frito ! Yes Leo Do Petisco is always busy.
Hello Nadelina! Yes, apparently it's not recommended to swim at Praia da Saude due to the high poor water quality, which is such a shame.
I am going to write a pinned comment to thank you for your Leo do Petisco recommendation! I originally included it in the voiceover but it was too long to cover the photos I had, so I had to make it shorter. I'll be mentioning you in next week's video... I will try to do the excellent editing you do, but I suspect it won't look as professional! You are our Setúbal guide! ~ Mandy
Beaches, Fish, Fog, and 9 Euros for a Brazilian Buffet? Yes more please 😁
Seriously, put Portugal and Setúbal on your travel wishlist as they are blimmin' amazing! It is always so cool when one of our favourite CZcams channels comments, so thank you very much! ~ Mandy
Good evening.. My dear friends.. Love you...wishing you a life full of joy and happiness.. May you both always be happy . this is my prayer to God....from.. INDIA...... Have a good night..... Very very love you..
That's very kind of you, thank you! Have a wonderful weekend! 😁😀 ~ Mandy
Ah ha! New theme tune!
I'm mixing things up a bit with the music on my videos. I love our usual tune but a comments from a viewer made me think it could be good to not have the same song all the time. What's your view on it, being both a musician and an experienced CZcamsr? ~ Mandy
Thanks for the vídeo.! Vocês são um casal muito simpático.Tenho um primo que mora ai.pretendo conhecer em breve.👏🇧🇷❤️
Muito obrigado. 🙏 É um lugar bonito e entendi porque seu primo queria morar lá.
09:25 this food is called "Mineiro" because it comes from the region of Minas Gerais in Brazil. It literally translates to "General Mines", and some of the its famous cities include Ouro preto (black gold), Ouro Branco (White Gold) and Tiradentes (take out teeth, a famous Brazilian revolutionary). I highly recommend visiting Minas, it's an incredibly underrated part of Brazil and Ouro Preto is basically like Portugal but hilly! (also has the most STUN-NING churches)
Very nice video: I hope you enjoyed the "choco frito": this is one of the most tradicional food in Setúbal. Cheers.
Thank you, Luis! We loved choco frito - it's delicious! 😃😁 We had it 4 times in 2 weeks and it was so tasty every time! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers I had it this summer, once I have house in Setúbal district and it's one of my favorite food.
@@LuisSantos-us1ww I can understand why as it is such an excellent dish! Isn't Setúbal a great city! ~ Mandy
Hi. The information about the Praia da Saúde it's not very acurrate. The quality of the water its excellent in all Setúbal area (river and sea). The proof is that we have one of the few sedentary dolphin communities across Europe...wich means the water its fine. The Praia da Saúde was a former shipyard, so below the water it may still have some harmful materials. The real beaches are in Arrábida (the nearest one is Albarquel) and Tróia, across the river...The Arrábida beaches are stunning, but the water its a little cold.
Hope you get a nice sunny day to try them all. And yes, setúbal it's the best place...good food, culture, nature in Arrábida and Sado river and a slow pace of life, but if you want more excitement you have a train that puts you in Lisbon in about 45 min.
Thank you for sharing this information, Paula. We gathered our info from the tourist office and various websites, so it's good to hear from another source.
Yes, Setúbal is amazing! It's such a great city with a lovely, relaxed vibe. We enjoyed our 2 weeks housesitting there and would love to go back! After working on the next 2 videos, I so miss Choco Frito 😁😃 ~ Mandy
Im watching you a lot coz I want to move to Portugal soon
Hello, and thank you for watching our videos. Portugal is an amazing country! ~ Mandy
The weather wasn't quite with you on this one. Still good to see. Looking forward to your next one.
Thank you, MathinusG! I'm so pleased that people are looking forward to more Setúbal videos as there are at least three more to come! We think it's important to show reality, not glamour. We had some beautiful beach days there, and will show a bit of one, but there were also a lot of misty days! Setúbal was still amazing regardless. Thank you for taking the time to comment!😃😁 ~ Mandy
Setúbal 🇵🇹❤️
Setúbal is blimmin' amazing! We are so happy we had the opportunity to housesit here for 2 weeks, as we might not have visited otherwise! ~ Mandy
The water quality is actually very good, the restrictions are because of in that particular beach inside the water there are a few metal pieces from old boats, the major parts were taking down, but you can still find some at the bottom. So basically the sign says it's not recommended, not prohibited :) But the water quality is very good in there, The European Triathlon for the past few year have been done there. It's just a political thing, the local council don't want to be responsible for anything that happens there. Also in the Arrabida Mountain you can find fantastic beaches, you can go there by bus or taxi boats :) love that you enjoy it even with a misty day
Thank you so much for that information, Luisa! We took the advice from a few different sources and didn't swim... but it wasn't really swimming weather anyway 🤣 We had such a lovely time walking along the waterfront and absolutely love Setúbal! ~ Mandy
nice
Thank you! We're pleased you enjoyed this video! ~ Mandy 😀😁
You gotta try the FARTURAS. They are great when warm. Fried deliciousness immersed in sugar.
A heaven delight. Usually one euro per footlong cut. Enjoy!
Oh, I am now so disappointed that we didn't try them! That mobile farturas van was never open when we went down to the beach so we didn't even see one, apart from those pictures!
They sound delicious and that's an excellent price. Do you know if they ever come with chocolate? ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Not that I know of. I am from the TOMAR region. They have a big outside market on friday's. There is always a van outside selling them. The lady said that she and her husband used to be imigrants in switzerland. Now that they are retired, they decided to go into the FARTURAS business.
@@carloslopes9644 That's so interesting to hear! We haven't been to the Tomar region yet, but when we do go, we'll make sure we go to the Friday market. Thank you for that information! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers The market in central TOMAR is on every friday and in OUREM it is on every Thrusday. In Tomar you can check out the Convent of Christ. In Ourem - o Castelo de Ourem.
Easy to travel to Tomar. Take train direct from Lisbon.
@@carloslopes9644 Thank you for that. I'm hoping we'll get a housesit there one day, as I'd love to spend a few weeks in that region 😁😃 ~ Mandy
What was the temperature when you were there? What season? I’m curious…may I ask you how you managed to get a house sitting job there? Great video! Thanks for sharing❣️😁👍
Hello! We were in Sétubal in July 2021, and it was so hot! Thanks for your question on housesitting - check out this video about our housesitting experience in Portugal to learn more:
czcams.com/video/Gdmx6tYvu8Y/video.html
Love the food options you highlighted. I understand choco frito is a specialty of Setubal. Appears to be a big hit so looking forward to that when we arrive in a few weeks. Obrigado. 🙏 Forgot to mention...APE is basically a larger version of a VESPA motor scooter or moped. What you saw was the truck version of the APE (which means "bee" in Italian). See this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piaggio_Ape. 🐝
That's so interesting re: the APE, thank you! Great information - I didn't realise Vespa means Wasp in Italian!
Choco frito is so tasty in Setúbal, and the city is justifiably famous for it! Just you wait until you see the next video... the restaurant we go to in the Setúbal Market video is also excellent value, with delicious choco frito 😁😃
We're so pleased you find our videos helpful. We appreciate your feedback and lovely comments ! ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Can't wait for another video from Setubal!
@@lucchese20 That's wonderful to hear as there will be at least3 more Setúbal videos 😁😃 Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm! ~ Mandy
We very much enjoy your videos with one exception and that is certain handheld camera movement. My wife suffers from ocular vertigo and she gets seizures from certain scenes which involve quick movement and abstract patterns. It's more common than you think. So when you hold the gimble with the wide shots and "swish and pan" rapidly it can be quite difficult for her to watch (me too in fact). And Portugals abstract walkways of contrasting tiles can be hypnotic on their own but adding "swish-pans-tilts" can be dizzy for the viewer. I know you're walking and talking while doing this but I would recommend you slow your twists, turns, and pans a bit; it would help her out a lot. Thanks!
Hello, and thank you for your comment and the feedback. Please bear in mind that we are two backpackers, travelling on a low budget and using very simple equipment. We don't have a gimbal and do all our filming with a GoPro 9, without any mods. We also aren't video editors and are teaching ourselves as we go... and I think our video quality has come a long way since starting our channel in 2018.
We will try to be aware of sweeping shots etc as know they can be uncomfortable for viewers, but we can only work with the knowledge and equipment we have. Thank you for your understanding. ~ Mandy
2 € for a Soup😲😍 in Cologne/ Köln Germany you wouldn t get a glas of water. 😂
I know! Such incredible prices there... I'm sure you'd love it, Nibbly 😁🤗
Dont miss Jardim do Bonfim, Igreja de Jesus, Portas do Sol, Casa da Baía, Forte São Filipe, Convento de São Paulo and these are just some of the locations
Great recommendations, Bruno! We went to all of those except the Convento, and will be showing them in the upcoming Setúbal videos. Such a wonderful city! ~ Mandy
Mmm we love Churrasco 😋 it's usually around $40-50 AUD in Australia, so under 10 euros seems like a pretty good deal.
€9.90 is an amazing deal! 😃 Mineiro isn't like the churrasco restaurant we used to go to in Perth, which was $69 each for dinner!
That one involved them bringing around 13 different types of meat on spikes, and you had a green or a red sign to say if you wanted any. Mineiro is a buffet with loads of different dishes, and we enjoyed it just as much, if not more, thanks to the great quality and inexpensive price! 😃😁 ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers the Sydney churrasco system is the same as the Perth one and for dessert there's roasted pineapple covered in cinnamon sugar on a spike... we miss that!
@@BucketListTravellers Oohhh... that sounds amazing and is making me hungry! 😃😁 How are you finding the food in Costa Rica? ~ Mandy
Aqui no Brasil muitas ruas parecem com as ruas das cidades portuguesas.
Sim, é verdade que as ruas do Brasil se parecem com muitas ruas de Portugal. Eu gosto muito das calçadas. 👍 ~ Lee
Do those toilets rock a lot when you sit on them?
Hahhha... I love it 😁🤣 Turns out Google Maps shows public toilets a bit further down the beach, but we didn't make it that far... and luckily we didn't need the loo 😃 ~ Mandy
Parque Urbano da Albarquel is not there! You have to pass Rockalot cafe and then it's in the end of that street :)
Oh no! Serves me right for relying on Google Maps! Thanks for the correction, Bruno! Do you know the name of the park we walked past? ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers We call it "Jardim da Saúde" because it's next to the "Praia da Saúde" Beach! And by the way, all the beaches in Setúbal are safe for bathing (although this beach says otherwise). That sign is there because, for many years, this entire area belonged to the naval industry :)
When you have a chance, you have to visit "Lapa de Santa Margarida Cave". It's beautiful! :)
@@brunosetubal1996 Thank you so much for that. I'll add that information re: the name of the park to our Pinned Comment. It seems strange about the different views on the water quality though - there are many articles online advising against swimming in the Saúde Estuary itself due to pollution from the fishing boats, and I have to say the water in the port looked pretty murky, but it didn't seem to bother the fish there! 😁😃 ~ Mandy
@@brunosetubal1996 Thank you for sharing another great recommendation. It's been added to the list of amazing places to visit when we return to Setúbal! ~ Mandy
Wait, you can't swim in the sea in Setubal?
Apparently, as there is a high level of pollution from the busy fishing port, the water of the Sado Estuary aren't recommended for swimming. This includes the Praia da Saúde. ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers You are allowed to swim in the river, the restrictions at that beach have to do to what's at the bottom of the river around that area as until very recently there used to be some small shipyards were the beach is located, the shipyards have been taken down and the area on land has been cleaned and transformed into a very pleasant space but the area inside the river(under water) still has all sorts of stuff that can eventually injure you. Proof of this is that only a few hundred meters down the river front you've got the Albarquel beach without any restrictions.
@@arturmartins2063 Thank you for sharing this information. It is very interesting and helpful. ~ Mandy
Can you recommend immigration lawyer office please to help me get my d7 visa
We aren't applying for a D7 visa so can't offer any recommendations. ~ Mandy
