Introduction to Almeirim, Portugal
Almeirim is a historic city in the Santarém region of west-central Portugal, situated on the south bank of the Rio Tejo, about 70 kilometers from the capital Lisbon. The city is known for its rich agricultural tradition, especially for the production of excellent tomatoes, known as the "Tomato Capital", and its vast surrounding farmland is an important fruit and vegetable production area in Portugal.
History and cultural characteristics
The history of Almerín dates back to Roman times, and in the 15th century it was the site of a hunting lodge for the Portuguese royal family. The old town retains its traditional white houses and quaint streets, with historic buildings such as the Igreja de São João (St. John's Church) displaying Manueline and Baroque styles. The local gastronomic culture is outstanding, with the specialty "Sopa da Pedra" (tomato soup) being a famous Portuguese stew that attracts many visitors.
Economic and tourist highlights
In addition to agriculture, Almerín's economy is based on winemaking and food processing. In terms of tourism, the natural beauty of the Tejo River, the annual tomato festival and the countryside market are highlights, while neighboring monuments such as the Castelo de Almourol further enrich the cultural tourism offer. The city is well connected to Lisbon and Santarém via the A13 highway, making it a suitable stopover for exploring central Portugal.
