Torres Vedras Portugal

Torres Vedras - Portugal
Located a few kilometres from Lisbon, the Oeste
Tourism Region is formed by a conjunction of
eleven municipal districts, that are localized
between the Atlantic Ocean and the rocky massive
of Serra de Montejunto. In the countryside with a
pleasant climate, Nature has been extremely
generous in the construction of a landscape
fulfilled by months and valleys, where Atlantics
wind caresses the vineyards.
