Grândola has its own very special characteristics, combining the influences of the coast with those of the inland regions of southern Portugal. The archaeological remains dating from the Roman period at the beginning of the first century AD give proof of the town’s long history. In the recent history of Portugal, the name of Grândola has become associated with the song "Grândola Vila Morena", written and sung by José Afonso. On the eve of the 25 April Revolution, it was played on Rádio Renascença as a signal to the more distant army units that they could begin their advance on Lisbon.
