About Palmela

An ideal place to live, located in the heart of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Palmela is the largest municipality on the peninsula of Setúbal with round about 50,000 inhabitants.

The town of Palmela, located in the foothills of the Arrábida mountain range, has attracted the people who have passed through the Iberian Peninsula over the centuries. The Region of Palmela is part of the tourism region of Costa Azul. It is believed to have been given its name by the Romans, specifically a praetor called Palma, whereas the Arabs were responsible for building the castle at its highest point, from where it dominates the whole of the area between the Sado and Tagus rivers. Setúbal Bay is regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. With an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Palmela is an ideal place for living and also one of the best wine regions in Portugal.

Say somthing nice about your sights

In geography, location or place are used to denote a region (point, line, or area) on Earth's surface or elsewhere. The term location generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place, the latter often indicating an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human or social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry.
