Santo Andre

Among the cities of Alentejo, Santo André stands out for its planned urban character beside the Atlantic coastal plain and near the Lagoa de Santo André. The town, also known as Vila Nova de Santo André, developed in connection with the industrial expansion of nearby Sines, giving it a notably different character from Alentejo’s older inland settlements. The Santo André Lagoon Nature Reserve protects a mosaic of lagoon waters, dunes, pine woodland and wetlands along this stretch of coast. Its setting places everyday town life between the sea-facing landscape and the broad plains around Santiago do Cacém.
