'''Zambujeira do Mar''' is a former [[Freguesia (Portugal)|civil parish]] in the municipality of [[Odemira]], [[Alentejo]] region, Portugal. In 2013, the parish merged into the parish [[São Teotónio]].<ref name=dr>{{cite web|title=Law nr. 11-A/2013, pages 552 81-82|url=http://dre.pt/pdf1sdip/2013/01/01901/0000200147.pdf |access-date=29 July 2014|author=Diário da República|author-link=Diário da República|language=pt|format=pdf}}</ref> [[Odemira Municipality]] in the [[Portugal|Portuguese]]. It has a population of 911 inhabitants, dispersed over an area of {{convert|42.96|km2|mi2}}.


==History==
==Sudoeste Festival==
The most recent civil parish established in Odemira, Zambujeira do Mar was deannexed from the neighbouring civil parish of [[São Teotónio]] on 30 June 1989.<ref name="CMHistorico">{{cite web |url=http://www.cm-odemira.pt/PageGen.aspx?WMCM_PaginaId=29764 |title=Zambujeira do Mar |publisher=Câmara Municipal de Odemira |location=Zambujeira do Mar (Odemira), Portugal |editor=Câmara Municipal |access-date=8 March 2013 |year=2011 |language=pt}}</ref> It merged back into São Teotónio in 2013.<ref name=dr/>
The popular event ''Festival do Sudoeste'' (Sudoeste Festival), one of the biggest summer music festivals in Portugal, takes place in the Zambujeira do Mar. During the four days of the festival a whole host of national and international bands take to the stage playing through the day and evening. After hours, world-renowned [[DJ]]s keep the party going well into the next morning. Past performers have included some big names from the world of indie and rock music including [[Oasis]], [[Ben Harper]], [[Fatboy Slim]], [[Doves]], [[Basement Jaxx]], and [[Black Uhuru]]. Famed for its great line-ups, good weather and breathtaking coastline, this is a great environment to see some of the best bands from around the world.

==Geography==
As its name implies, Zambujeira do Mar is located along the western coast of the Alentejo, south of Cabo Sardão, an area cut by various valleys, cliffs and faults, interspersed by small beaches consisting of clear fine sands, such as Zambujeira, Alteirinhos, Nossa Senhora e Tonel.<ref name=CMHistorico/> The coast of Zambujeira is included within the Nature Park of the Southwest Alentejo and St. Vincent Coast ({{lang|pt|Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina}}), covering the various folding clifftops and small beaches/coves of the coast. In addition to the central coastal beach of Zambujeira, the beaches of Alteirinhos, Nossa Senhora, Arquinha and Tonel are geologically significant, as well as attracting summer tourists and vacationers.

===Climate===
Zambujeira do Mar has a [[Mediterranean climate]] with warm dry summers and mild wet winters. Though close to the ocean, the civil parish is not as exposed to the sea as other neighboring towns in the coast are and, as a result, temperatures are much more continentalized. Winters are cooler at night, averaging {{convert|6|C}} minima in January, and summers are warmer at daytime, averaging around {{convert|25|C}} maxima in July, August and September.

There are no climate monitoring stations at Zambujeira, but two stations from [[IPMA]] are located at about {{convert|5|km|abbr=on}} from the ocean, close to Zambujeira, one in Daroeiras and the other one close to the [[MEO Sudoeste]] music festival. Climate normals for the former are expressed in the climate box below:
