Almada (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐɫˈmaðɐ]) is a city and a municipality in Portugal, located on the southern margin of the Tagus River. The population in 2011 was 174,030, in an area of 70.21 km². The urbanized center had a population of 101,500 in 2001.
Human presence in the area of Almada dates to the end of the Neolithic period about 5000 years ago; archeological excavations performed in the municipality suggest that non-sedentary nomadic tribes may have occupied this location sporadically. The gradual development of settlement here made its greatest advance with the coming of Islamic civilization, when Muslims constructed a fort at Almada to defend and monitor the entrance to the Tagus River. Lying across the river from Lisbon, the area of Almada was a crossroads for a succession of various peoples who traded along the Tagus, including Phoenicians, Romans and Moors.
As one of the principal Arab military bases along the southern margin of the Tagus, Almada was conquered by the Christian forces of Afonso I with the aid of English Crusaders in 1147. Alongside these Christians there lived many free Moors and Jews, under the royal protection guaranteed them by Afonso I in the charter of 1170 (which applied to all the former Moorish strongholds at Lisbon, Almada, Palmela and Alcácer).

I came to you my china eyes
You look at me
I knew that the days are long and cold
Without you by my side
I see your face I melt inside
The thoughts of you
I know that I can't no longer hide
My love for china eyes
Please come with me my china eyes
Let's share our joys in paradise
You're the one that I will love
Till the end of my life
I came to you my china eyes
[Repeat Chorus]
Please love now my china eyes
Just one kiss and I could die
You're the one my heart desires
I love you china eyes
