The access roads that have been created in the meantime (the A10 and A13) have opened up new possibilities for social and economic development based on modern assumptions of modernity, while guaranteeing the preservation of our identity.  <\/p><p>Located in the district of Santar\u00e9m, this territory can be understood as a great agricultural area nearby Tejo River, to the north with the large rice cultures and the extensive cork tree forest as we head south.<\/p><p>It covers an area of 521.38 km2 and is home to around 30,000 inhabitants in its four parishes, Benavente, Samora Correia, Santo Estev\u00e3o and Barrosa.<\/p><p>Its rich history and culture, combined with its priceless natural heritage, give this region a unique beauty.

the Lez\u00edria lands has tended to be mitigated by specific agricultural practices, by irrigation with fresh water and by the land being fertilized by large floods, which continuously deposit the rich upstream sediments in shallow waters, increasing the quality of the soils, which are currently some of the most fertile on the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p><p>With the current emphasis on rice and tomatoes, the lez\u00edria can support a wide variety of agricultural crops, both rainfed and irrigated, although this has largely prevented livestock production, driving away the horses and cattle

Lez\u00edrias alone.<\/p><p>There are cork oak stands with morphologies and structures ranging from cork oaks with a complex shrub structure, to mixed stands with maritime pine and stone pine, to cork oak forests without a shrub layer, together representing more than three quarters of the forest area (6,725 ha).<\/p><p>Cork is a natural, renewable and very valuable resource. At Companhia das Lez\u00edrias, this wealth is cherished so that it is sustainable. <\/p><p>The economic value of cork oak forests is reflected in the production of cork, with Portugal being the largest exporter of this material, and its cultural importance is largely related to their role in conserving biodiversity. The cork oak forest is also capable of supporting other economic activities of regional and local importance, in particular the raising of quality meat and milk as the basis of the agri-food industry, the beekeeping, the collection of edible mushrooms, the exploitation of hunting resources and nature, rural and eco-tourism activities. <\/p><p>It&#8217;s a system whose central element is man. The &#8220;monte&#8221;, a structuring and distinctive element of the Montado, is the first human settlement in the territory and the rural housing unit of the Alentejo and Ribatejo. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b439761 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"b439761\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=PwZgfaoIVOY&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d927057 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d927057\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"campino\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;slideshow&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_gallery&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:780,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.visitbenavente.pt\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/01\\\/identidade-campino.jpg&quot;}],&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;opacity-tilt&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_slide_duration&quot;:5000,&quot;background_slideshow_slide_transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_transition_duration&quot;:500}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-bottom\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 2600 131.1\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0 0L2600 0 2600 69.1 0 0z\"\/>\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" style=\"opacity:0.5\" d=\"M0 0L2600 0 2600 69.1 0 69.1z\"\/>\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" style=\"opacity:0.25\" d=\"M2600 0L0 0 0 130.1 2600 69.1z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5c3bfb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d5c3bfb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c907978 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c907978\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Campino<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-090212c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"090212c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-735c947 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"735c947\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>sIn a territory marked by marshes and moors, the relationship between man and animal, cattle and horse, has been very close and almost symbiotic over the centuries and here we are referring to the campino.<\/p><p>This expression has been the broadest cultural reference in Ribatejo.
