Estremadura is of all our provinces the one that shows a more complex aspect, whatever the position that we have to consider. Starting with the geological aspect, it has representation of all ages. In the climatic assessment can be considered in the transition between the Portuguese moisture zone, permanent winds of the West and the dry ones. The type of vegetation in the northern part is close to a type of Central Europe, whereas in the southern end it already has Mediterranean characteristics. The lands of alluvium contrast with the slopes where the secondary limestone abounds and the floodplains oppose the mountainous masses of the eastern border. It is a land of dispersion and plurality, sometimes referred to as a land where paradoxes abound. The vineyard, although with a great capacity of adaptation to the different types of soils, finds in the diversity of the region a clear preference for some of these, namely the brown or red limestones of marls or parables and fine sandstones, the normal brown or red Mediterranean soils and non-humic littoral soils, these with representation in the most northern part of the region. The presence of the great metropolis that is Lisbon, although located in an extreme of the Estremadura region, indelibly marks the social habits of the region.

The rurality that for a long time generally characterized the population of Estremadura only changed with the industrialization introduced from the nineteenth century. Society was very affected with the development of the mobility system, with emphasis on the route that recently started to connect Lisbon with Leiria. Estremadura is a frontier land, it recalls its meaning when one evokes the differentiation between the people of the south from the mountains. This situation contributes to intermediate dispersal formations designated by farms or agricultural lands. A farm is a designation that was first taken as subunit within a Rustic Villa and consequently referenced to a Roman origin where Villa was designative of a structure of rural settlement. This is the most significant structure, a component of manifest dignity and that even today throughout Estremadura has a high heritage, almost entirely linked to wine production and is often referred to when it is marketed.
