Campo Maior

Located in the Portalegre district, Campo Maior is situated in a wide valley between the Montezinho River to the west and the São Pedro River to the east. With a natural heritage dominated by a flat landscape, it has several bodies of water, most notably the Caia and Abrilongo dams. The presence of the Delta Cafés company contributed to Campo Grande being recognized in the industrial world and to the reduction of rural exodus, through job creation and the consequent improvement in the quality of life of the population. The gastronomy, with influences from Spain, is mainly based on potato, dogfish, tomato, and cod soups, "migas" with pork ribs, gazpacho, Alentejo-style pork, and "açorda", all accompanied by Campo Maior olives.
