Setúbal

Built around the Sado River and its Atlantic estuary, Setúbal grew into a major Portuguese port city and the centre of the surrounding district. At these coordinates, the district reaches the lower Sado near Alcácer do Sal, where the river passes through flat agricultural land and cork-oak country before continuing north towards its estuary. Alcácer do Sal’s hilltop castle recalls the strategic importance of this inland water route. Elsewhere, the Serra da Arrábida rises above the coast, while the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve protects extensive wetlands.
