Car Hire Torres Novas - Mini guide to Torres Novas

In the heart of Portugal is a municipality with the name of Torres Novas. With a population of less than 37500 inhabitants, it is understandably not a very big town. As far as can be established, the city was conquered in 1148 by Don Afonso Henriques. He was to become Portugal’s first king, after the city was ruled by the Arabs for centuries. The city and the famous castle were eventually destroyed.

A municipality based company named Fabrica De Papel Do Almonda SA, forms part of the economy of the town. One of the most favoured past times in Torres Novas is street racing. Quite a wide range of hotel accommodation is available. The hotel located closest to the village of Torres is the Puerto Magina and is situated about 3 kilometres from the town. It is an eighteen roomed hotel and surrounded by beautiful pine and olive trees. It offers breathtaking views throughout the year due to the fact that the hill it was build upon, rises over the surrounding valley.

If you need to get around, visiting other famous sites and the bigger Portugal, you will need a car. One of the best deals in car hire is offered to you by many of the local companies. For compatible rentals and top of the range services, you will find plenty of agencies around this area or you look online.

Spectacular landscapes surround the town of Torres Novas, and the vegetation rich region offers a cherry harvest during the month of March. The cherry harvest during this season is a great festivity, and over the years has become part of the culture in this area. In the mountains surrounding Torres Novas, people have lived for hundreds of years. Their legacy can be experienced today in Cueva del Morron, a nearby cave, where prehistoric paintings can be found. In this natural wonderland, life is lived simple, with only nature as the pacemaker.
