Santarém
With over three thousand years of history, the capital of Ribatejo is also known as the Gothic Capital of Portugal, due to its rich historical and cultural heritage and many monuments built in this style. The Tagus River flows very close to the city, and it's possible to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of its waters and the floodplains from the beautiful Jardim das Portas do Sol. Also known as the city of seven hills, it fervently embraces traditions linked to horses, bulls, and rural life. The National Agricultural Fair, held annually in June, is one of the largest events the municipality hosts and attracts visitors from all over the country. The inhabitants of Santarém are known as Scalabitanos, and "pampilho" is one of their most typical cakes, hard to resist.
