City Info
The seat of the municipality is the city of Setъbal, located on the northern bank of the Sado river estuary approximately 40 Km south of Portugal's capital, Lisboa (Lisbon). It is also the seat of the district of Setъbal. In the beginning of the 20th century, Setъbal was an important center for Portugal's fishing industry, sardines in particular. None of the many factories operate today. Although its industrial life is in decline, tourism is seen as the big opportunity for the future since the nearby coast of Arrбbida, a natural park, offers beautiful beaches and unspoilt nature. A colony of dolphins lives in the Sado River, and across the river from Setъbal lies the peninsula of Trуia, where several high-rise luxury resorts were built and abandoned after the realization they were being constructed on sinking, unstable land.

Setъbal is the birthplace of the Portuguese satirical poet Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage, the classical singer Luisa Todi, as well as world famous football coach Josй Mourinho.
