Set bal

Setúbal is a city in Portugal located on the northern bank of the Sado river estuary, home to 100.000 people. It is also the seat of the district of Setúbal. Because of its location, Setúbal has the third largest seaport of the country, which suports most of its industrial activities, such as several ship repairment yards, which are among the biggest in the world. Though, its industrial life is decadent, and tourism is seen as the big oportunity for the future, once the coast of Arrábida offers beautiful beaches and nature. In the Sado River, lives a colony of dolphins, and right in front of Setúbal there's the peninsula of Tróia, where a luxury resort is being built. Setúbal is the birthplace of the portuguese satirical poet Bocage, and the classical singer Luisa Todi.
