Description

Arrábida Natural Park (Portuguese: Parque Natural da Arrábida) is a natural park in Portugal. It is one of the 30 areas which are officially under protection in the country.

A stretch of road in the natural park is notable for being the scene in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service where Tracy Bond (played by Diana Rigg) is shot dead by Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat) in a drive-by shooting at the end of the film.

    "This is not a protected area. It is an area in destruction by many stone-pits, one with more than 420 acres including a cement plant doing co-incineration of industrial toxic waste."
