The Grupo Desportivo e Cultural Ídolos da Baixa is located in the area that gives it its name, the Baixa de Palmela. This area, situated in the eponymous municipality, represents a more contemporary and dynamic facet of the town, distinct from the historical grandeur of its castle on the hilltop. It is characterized by being a predominantly residential area with a strong local community feel, where community life unfolds naturally.

With a history spanning over four decades, marked, for example, by the celebration of its 47th anniversary, the Grupo Desportivo e Cultural Ídolos da Baixa has been a pillar in the local community. Its existence underscores the importance of grassroots initiatives for social cohesion and the cultural vitality of the region.
