Hello guys in this beautiful day
Join me in exploring Setúbal city in Portugal, part of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area.
Well I have mixed feelings about this place
But I will return, to explore it more, that's for sure.

Here is the fact dose about the place:

Setúbal has a fascinating history, dating back to ancient times and surviving even the era of dinosaurs. It was named Cetóbriga by the Romans, and its strategic location by the river and sea has been crucial to its growth. The municipality covers an expansive area of 230.33 square kilometers, with a population of about 123,000 people.

People throughout the municipality cultivate delicious treats, from grapes for exquisite wine to oranges, fresh fish, renowned muscatel wine, and delectable cheese and pies.

Both the city and its surrounding areas have remarkable places to visit. Explore the Convento de Jesus, a historical museum, and the São Filipe Fort, now an inn offering breathtaking views. These treasures aren't confined to the city but extend throughout the entire municipality.

The natural beauty of Setúbal is showcased in the Sado Estuary Natural Reserve, home to dolphins, the unique Arrábida Natural Park, and stunning beaches like Figueirinha and Galapos.

In conclusion, Setúbal is a blend of rich history and natural wonders. The city and surrounding areas offer a plethora of places to visit and a chance to savor local delicacies. This is just the beginning – go out and explore! Locals, drop your recommendations in the comments.

Special highlights include witnessing dolphins in the Sado Estuary, experiencing unique wine at "Bacalhôa Buddha Eden," discovering real dinosaur footprints on some beaches, and diving into the "Mercado do Livramento" for the freshest seafood.

We have a plan for the next episode

Across the Sado estuary lies Troia, an 18kilometer coastal haven with pristine beaches, perfect for unwinding after exploring Setúbal.

And let's add a touch of Portuguese humor: How do you say "hug" in Portuguese? "Portusqueeze"! How does a Portuguese ghost say "hello"? "Bootarde"!

On average real estate price of €2700/sq meter and longterm rent at €15/meter a month. Setúbal's industrial charm may divide opinions, but its surroundings are packed with the beauty of Serra da Arrabida and the beaches of Troia.
