Pegões, Rural settlement in Montijo, Portugal
Pegões is a rural settlement on the Setúbal Peninsula with residential areas surrounded by fields and Mediterranean vegetation. The village spreads across gentle terrain with a mix of older and newer homes built at different times.
The settlement grew during the 20th century when farmland became residential areas as the Setúbal region expanded. This transformation shaped how the place looks and functions today.
The village keeps rural customs alive through local markets and seasonal gatherings that reflect traditional ways. You can see how people here maintain connection to agricultural life and local heritage.
The settlement sits about 28 kilometers from Lisbon and 18 kilometers from Setúbal, connected by regional roads to larger cities. Access is straightforward for visitors who want to explore both the village and nearby urban areas.
The location on the Setúbal Peninsula creates a microclimate that allows both residential living and farming to coexist in the same area. This balance between settlement and farmland remains visible in how the village looks today.
