CM Alcácer do Sal 

An attractive town very much on the Río Sado in the Setúbal district, overlooked by a magnificent Moorish castle which is now a parador, Alcácer do Sal has a special place in Portuguese history. Its winding mediaeval streets are its greatest attraction. The link goes to its Portuguese-only but photograph-rich municipal website.

Península de Setúbal 

Or more accurately, the CVR Península de Setúbal, as we are looking here at the Setúbal wine region and its regulatory board. The traditional wine made here is a Moscatel, a strong, sweet, fortified wine, subjected to perhaps decades of aging, and now sold under the DOC Setúbal. More conventional but quality wine is made in the same region under the DOC Palmela, and ordinary table wine is produced as Vinho Regional Terras do Sado, the River Sado flowing south-to-north up the peninsula before emptying into the Atlantic in a broad estuary at the city of Setúbal itself. The regulatory board (CVR) is responsible for all three types of wine.

Setúbal 

South of Lisbon and no longer the industrial town it was a century ago, Setúbal has an attractive historic centre and is a good base for the excellent local beaches. The Portuguese-only municipal site has a nice, modern design and is enjoyable to use: click "Roteiro Turístico" then "Visitar Setúbal" and "Arquitectónico" to see the most interesting historic buildings.
