The space Arronches (Alentejo) Located in the Alto Alentejo region of the district of Portalegre, Arronches is known colloquially as the “Land of the Pigs”, because according to legend, people would open their pigsties in the morning so that their pigs would go out to the fields, and it was certain that, at the end of the afternoon, they would return to their owners' houses to open the pigsties. Arronches was also considered the manor of the black pig. It is said that it was an ancient Roman settlement built along the Caia river, founded in the time of Gaius Caligula, in the first year of the Christian era. D. Afonso Henriques conquered it from the Moors in 1166, lost it again, and it was recovered by D. Sancho II, in 1235.
