Montijo is a Portuguese municipality located in the district of Setúbal, on the southern bank of the Tagus River. With a privileged location near the Tagus estuary, it combines the charm of a historic city with the dynamism of a growing region.
Comprising several parishes, including Montijo and Afonsoeiro, Canha, and Pegões, the municipality is known for its rich agricultural, fishing, and cultural tradition. Popular festivals, such as the Festas de São Pedro, are one of the hallmarks of local identity, attracting visitors with processions, concerts, and celebrations. Bullfighting culture is an important part of Montijo's identity, reflected in events like bullfights or bull runs, which enliven the streets during popular festivities.
The proximity to Lisbon, via the Vasco da Gama Bridge, makes Montijo a popular choice for those seeking to live near the capital but in a quieter environment.
