SEIXAL - Portugal


The seat of the municipality is the city of Seixal which is crossed by the river from Lisbon. It is located in the district of Setúbal and next to the Rio Judeu ("Jew River"), the name given to a lagoon formed by the Tagus river.
The name "Seixal" comes from a type of smooth stone (seixo) that is found in rivers, and the city is named after these stones. The city was an important vacation resort for aristocracy from nearby Lisbon during the 1700s.

I do prefer Seixal than Seychelles...Maybe it's because a little more of originality and in a way a lower profile.
Anyway your gallery fills me with the enthusiasm to discover this area, so the results are a guarantee of the great effect of your images.
Very vivid gallery!
