Abrantes
Located at the junction of the Ribatejo, Beira Baixa, and Alentejo regions, Abrantes presents an extremely varied landscape. To the north, extensive pine forests and the Castelo de Bode reservoir, to the south the Tagus floodplain and a typically Alentejo landscape. The name Abrantes is believed to have derived from Aurantes, due to the amount of gold that was extracted from the river sands. It is often called the "Flower City," largely due to the festivities in which its inhabitants decorate the streets with flowers. The city is a commercial and industrial hub for the fertile adjacent agricultural region. It has a metallurgical and metalworking industry. In gastronomy, the famous "Palha de Abrantes" and "tigeladas" stand out.
