Oliveira do Bairro

Located in the Central region of Portugal, the municipality of Oliveira do Bairro is a gateway between the coast and the interior. It's part of the Bairrada Wine Region, and wine production is one of the pillars of the local economy. During popular festivals, Oliveira do Bairro attracts tourists and brings thousands of people to the streets. The Medieval Fair in June, the Popular Marches parade, and the Municipal Festivals are the most popular events. But it's between May and June that the municipality comes alive with the "Olive Tree in Bloom" competition.
