Loures
Located on the right bank of the Tagus River, the municipality of Loures is part of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. Different ways of life and landscapes coexist in the territory, in a harmonious association between the rural environment and the urban environment. The Palaeolithic site at Casal do Monte, where numerous archaeological pieces were found, is, together with the dolmen of Casaínhos, one of the most significant elements of the county's occupation. Known for its wine production, Loures annually hosts an ethnographic parade, in which the visitor can learn about the various stages of the famous white wine from Bucelas, which goes perfectly with the snails served at the Festival do Caracol Saloio.
