Location
The Rio Maior area is part of a region known as 'Extremadura Ribatejana', the council situates itself in an area of transition where the influences of the Ribatejo and of the Coastline itself mix, giving rise to a original enviornment. In total includes an area of 277,4 km2 with lower altitudes to 500m, save rare exceptions. Rio Maior is closely located to the centre of the country, only 80 km away from Lisbon and 30 km away from the mid-country largest city Santarém. It is part of West Tourism Board and administratively it is one of the councils of the District of Santarém.
Rio Maior is clearly in a zone of transition and mixed regional cultures, with “Ribatejanas” influences from the south and “Estremadurenhas” influences from the north. The North zone of the council integrates itself in the protected area of the Natural Park of Serra d´Aire and Candeeiros.
