Located in the town of Pinhal Novo, within the municipality of Palmela, the "Casa Caramela" Educational Farm is situated in the heart of the Setúbal Peninsula. Its location invites immersion into a landscape that blends the influence of the pine forest with the agricultural tradition of the fields, reflecting the rural environment that characterizes this part of the Setúbal district. It is a point of interest that harmoniously integrates into the geographical surroundings of the region.
This space is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the region's rural and natural heritage. The farm's educational vocation is evident in how it interactively presents ancient knowledge and practices associated with country life. Visitors can thus discover the intrinsic relationship with the land, with agricultural crops, and with the animals that traditionally inhabit Portuguese farms, fostering a deep understanding of rural dynamics.
At the heart of the farm stands the "Casa Caramela", a significant example of local civil architecture. This dwelling, which gives the foundation its name, is a testament to past rural constructions, inviting the discovery of the constructive characteristics and the way of life that shaped the communities of the Setúbal Peninsula over time. Its structure and elements tell the story of a daily life rooted in agricultural tradition and the simplicity of the countryside, offering an authentic glimpse into the architectural and cultural heritage of the area.
The Foundation that manages the "Casa Caramela" Educational Farm plays a central role in safeguarding and disseminating this heritage. Its work focuses on promoting environmental education and knowledge of rural traditions, ensuring that the stories and practices linked to the land and local culture remain accessible and relevant for future generations. It is a project that values the memory and identity of a region, establishing a bridge between the past and the present.
