The Centro Hípico Quinta da Fonte Santa is situated in Vale de Nogueira, in the municipality of Odivelas, more specifically in the Bairro dos Carrascais area. This position offers a setting that combines proximity to the Lisbon metropolitan area with the suggestion of a more serene environment. The name of the locality, Vale de Nogueira, and the reference to Carrascais, evoke a potentially verdant landscape, which may include arboreal elements characteristic of the region.
As an equestrian center, this place is intrinsically linked to the equine world. Its essence lies in the presence of horses and the activities that are developed with them. An equestrian center provides a setting where it is possible to observe the work and dedication to horse riding, giving the space an atmosphere of tranquility and discipline. It is a point of interest for those who value contact with these animals and the environment that surrounds them.
The designation "Quinta da Fonte Santa" evokes the image of a property with traditional rural characteristics. A quinta usually suggests a space endowed with land, natural elements, and an atmosphere of greater serenity, offering a certain contrast with the more urbanized context of Odivelas. The term "Fonte Santa" in its name may also allude to the historical existence, or the memory, of a water spring, contributing to the particularity and natural identity of the place.
