'''Cantanhede''' (pron. ) is a city and municipality of district of Coimbra. The town is located halfway between the cities of Coimbra and Aveiro, having a well-preserved urban area elevated to city status, and being home to a number of large and elegant houses, dating back to the 19th Century.

==Economy==
Traditionally a major agriculture center, Cantanhede is at the heart of the Bairrada Wine District. The town is home to Biocant Park[http://www.biocantpark.com/default.asp?lg=2], a biotechnology park, aimed to create value in business initiatives by developing and applying advanced life sciences knowledge and technology. This park is attracting biosciences companies to Cantanhede, and has the scientific background of the University of Coimbra and Aveiro University, both associated entities of the project. Cantanhede was growing fast, and the inauguration of the C.C. Rossio (local shopping center) helped to boost the area's economy.

==Other==
This small town is located just 30 kilometers (45 minutes) from the very popular beaches of Mira and Tocha. A new fire brigade building has helped to put out fires more quickly and has improved the emergency services in this area.
