Located between Vila de Alcochete and the River das Enguias, which defines the boundary between the Districts of Setbal and Santarm, and 8 km from the Vasco da Gama Bridge.The space has several buildings to support the activity, namely a Warehouse with about 3, 000m2, a medium-sized building and 6 small buildings, located according to the needs of the activity.This property provides an infrastructure for the salt industry (tejos, dikes, floodgates, monks, etc.) to transform this deactivated facility into production units with lower environmental impacts. The large size of the ponds, the characteristics of the bottoms and the water flow rates do not limit the productivity of this traditional aquaculture system, fitting into semi-intensive production regimes.Access to the two entrances to the Estate is via tarred roads, and gates are installed to provide the necessary protection. The fast access roads to the main national distribution centers and international transport are just a few hundred meters away, greatly enhancing the logistical value of this property. The short distance from the place of production to the markets where the products are sold, in addition to allowing the maintenance of their freshness, allows very relevant economic gains. Vasco da Gama Bridge is within 8 km. Lisbon Airport and Port are about 20km away from Herdade da Tarouca.The tidal regime present in the Tagus estuary and the average elevation of the land surface makes it possible to use the tides to circulate water through the tanks, and reduces the need to install a water pump.Inside the Estate there is electricity available.
