The seductive Alcácer do Sal was the regional capital of the Moors. Don Afonso Henriques first portuguese king, conquered it (1158-1160) with the help of the legendary Knights Templar. Above the city stands the magnificent Castle, of Islamic origin. It has an amazing view over the green rice paddies that surround the city, with nests of storks on the roofs.


The Torrão Village, belongs to the region of Alcacer do Sal, having human occupation, since prehistoric times. It was later populated by the Romans, and then inhabited by Arabs until 1217. Rich in Historical Heritage is close to the Vale de Gaio Dam, providing conditions for the practice of the most varied leisure, sports and tourism activities.
