    Alvalade

    Through the streets of Alvalade, which seem to have been drawn with a ruler and square, a success story is written of a neighbourhood planned from scratch in the 1940s, but which knew how to grow and evolve into a diversified offer of facilities, schools, services and transport without losing its identity.
