Terceira Island
Some southern and central regions of Portugal, such as Ribatejo and parts of the Alentejo, as well as Terceira Island in the Azores, are traditionally more interested in the "corrida de touros". In Portugal's northern regions, bullfighting has a much lower presence, except for Póvoa de Varzim where bullfighting arenas are known to exist, at various locations, since the 18th century.
