Omschrijving
Tomar is best known as the last seat of the Knights Templar and as one of the first places where industrialization took place, since the river Nabao, which runs through the city, powered the first factories in Portugal. It is a town of 10,000 inhabitants that has many unique and attractive aspects. It retains the charm of an old, historic place, with picturesque, narrow streets; it has a famous castle and convent; it is not overloaded with traffic or tourism; it has a strong and proud heritage linked to the Ribatejo area and its traditions; it is a place of horse breeding and wine production; it is very central and served by both train and bus (1.5 hours from Lisbon); and it is 10 minutes from the 70m lake of Castelo de Bode. In recent years, it has attracted different investors of various nationalities. Its north, south, east and west are all quite different in terms of ecology and topography, so you have to look for what suits you best. Population densities are not high and it is possible to live in a small town or in the open countryside. There are good secondary schools and a Polytechnic University. There are classical music and jazz festivals in the summer and plenty of epicurean delights. This is authentic Portugal at its best and it's only 50 minutes from the sea.
The landscape varies between oak, orange, olive and eucalyptus plantations. There are several rivers around the city and many hills with lovely views. In winter, temperatures rarely reach zero, but there are periods of heavy rain. Summers are dry, with a few weeks in August when temperatures can reach 40 degrees.
