Alcochete
Informações sobre a cidade
Inserted in the Tagus Estuary Nature Reserve and located on the south bank of the river, Alcochete is a quiet village, which has had a marked urban growth, given its proximity to Lisbon, parallel to the ease of access to the capital.
Not losing the moth of the typical houses, we find streets of working people, dedicated to fishing and agriculture. Salt pans are their great source of wealth, as is the link to horse and cattle breeding. Very popular for its yearly celebrations linked to horse and bulls, Alcochete invites you to walks along the river bank and enjoy the natural beauty of the Estuary, house of flocks of flamingos and other species.

Passeio turístico
Situated on the bank of the Tagus River, the salt pans are still a living example of what was, for a long time, the main economic activity of Alcochete – the saliculture. After being extracted from the huge tanks, still visible in the Tagus Estuary, the salt was subsequently transported to the pier of Lisbon and exported abroad.
Currently, the Canto Navy integrated in the Salinas do Samouco Complex is the only salt saline to produce salt in the Tagus and Alcochete.
In winter, the salt pans are an important place, where birds will seek shelter and alternative food to spaces that are already covered with water. In summer, the salt pans are a privileged nesting place, particularly for the long leg Himantopus himantopus.
