Estômbar
Portugal, Portugal
Estômbar is a historic village in Lagoa municipality, Algarve, Portugal, known during Arab times as Sanabus or Shombos, serving as an inland hub with the castle of Abenabace captured by King Sancho I in 1191 to aid the conquest of Silves.
Once a prosperous center blending agriculture, salt production, Rio Arade trade, and 19th-20th century fish canning that spurred riverside growth, its economy now supports tourism through construction and services; the parish merged with Parchal in 2013.
Key landmarks include the whitewashed Convento do São Francisco (or do Praxel) and the Igreja Matriz de Santiago, reflecting its Moorish and medieval roots amid a picturesque landscape.
