Despite the disagreement between Portugal and Spain over the Olivença Question, the issue has not caused friction in relations between the two Iberian countries. Olivença and the Spanish border municipalities of La Codosera, Alburquerque and Badajoz, and the Portuguese municipalities of Arronches, Campo Maior, Estremoz, Portalegre and Elvas, reached an agreement in 2008 with a view to creating a Euroregion.

The Treaty of Alcanizes of 1297 established Olivença as part of Portugal. In 1801, through the Treaty of Badajoz, denounced in 1808 by Portugal, the territory was annexed to Spain. In 1817, Spain recognized Portuguese sovereignty by subscribing to the Congress of Vienna of 1815, committing to the return of the territory as soon as possible. However, to this day, this has not yet happened.

Therefore, the boundary markers between the confluence of the Caia River with the Guadiana River and the confluence of the Cuncos River with the Guadiana River, numbered 802 to 89, have yet to be placed.
