Far from anywhere in Portugal, Campo Maior, almost Spanish, is widely known because of the "Festas do Povo" (people's festivities) that take place each four years. They're an explosion of colour, each street rivalling with its neighbours to get the prize for the most beautiful. Millions of Portuguese and Spanish (and other) converge to Campo Maior in September. But don't rush. It will take place only in 2012 now.
