Snapshots of Setúbal

I hope you enjoy this little snapshot gallery from my wanderings in Setúbal, Portugal, the city where I live.

Setúbal is located southwest of Lisbon on the Sado River, which empties a few miles away into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s walkable, friendly, and there are discoveries to be made around every corner. Come with me and explore…

A new sculpture has landed on the roof of the Casa do Turismo in Bocage Square called “The Cat and the Wind” by artist Ricardo Romero.

Lisbon is known for blooming Jacarandas in May, but we have them, too!

Delight in the colors of Setúbal’s back streets, shops, and buildings.

I love the Troino/Fonte Nova neighborhood!

There are more than 300 trees in Jardim do Bonfim

Giant sculptures called Pasmadinhos are throughout the Jardim do Bonfim

Yes, we do have a purple city hall, do you?
