Facing the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, the city of Barreiro is mostly a residential and service town, but in recent years has increasingly invested in the tourism supply. A trend that has accompanied the municipalities of the South Bank of the River Tagus in general, making them increasingly attractive places to visit and explore.
One of the great investments has been the exploration of its industrial past and also in the potentialities of its extensive and pleasant riverside area.
