Welcome to SMP Palmela

Located 20 km from both Lisbon and Setúbal – the district capital, SMP Palmela offers excellent opportunities for professional development, combined with an ideal quality of life among the most developed cities and infrastructures in Portugal.

The town of Palmela, located in the foothills of the Arrábida mountain range, has attracted the people who have passed through the Iberian Peninsula over the centuries. The Region of Palmela is part of the tourism region of Costa Azul. It is believed to have been given its name by the Romans, specifically a praetor called Palma, whereas the Arabs were responsible for building the castle at its highest point, from where it dominates the whole of the area between the Sado and Tagus rivers. 

Setúbal Bay is regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in the world (www.world-bays.com). With an average of more than 300 days of sunshine per year, Palmela is an ideal place for living and also one of the best wine regions in Portugal.
