Portugal does not recognize as Spanish the territory of Olivenza conquered by Spain during the Napoleonic Wars.

Olivenza / Olivença had been under continuous Portuguese sovereignty since 1297 when it was occupied by the Spanish in 1801 and formally ceded by Portugal later that year by the Treaty of Badajoz.

Portugal has never made a formal claim to the territory after the Treaty of Vienna, but has equally never directly acknowledged the Spanish sovereignty over Olivenza / Olivença.

Spanish public opinion is not generally aware of the Portuguese claim on Olivenza / Olivença ( in contrast to the Spanish claim on Gibraltar or the Moroccan claims on Ceuta, Melilla and the Plazas de soberanía ).

The river is not used to completely mark the boundary between the two states ; between the Olivenza ravine and the Táliga ravine, the border still remains a disputed section claimed de jure by both countries and administered de facto by Spain ( as part of the Spanish autonomous community of Extremadura ).

Portugal continues to claim Olivenza / Olivença, asserting that under the Vienna Treaty of 1815, Spain recognized the Portuguese claims as " legitimate ".

Spain claims the de jure sovereignty over Olivenza / Olivença on the grounds that the Treaty of Badajoz still stands and has never been revoked.

Thus, the border between the two countries in the region of Olivenza / Olivença should be as demarcated by that treaty.

Portugal claims the de jure sovereignty over Olivenza / Olivença on the grounds that the Treaty of Badajoz was revoked by its own terms ( the breach of any of its articles would lead to its cancellation ) when Spain invaded Portugal in the Peninsular War of 1807.

Portugal further bases its case on Article 105 of the Treaty of Vienna of 1815, which Spain signed in 1817, that states that the winning countries are to " endeavour with the mightiest conciliatory effort to return Olivenza / Olivença to Portuguese authority ".

Thus, the border between the two countries in the region of Olivenza / Olivença should be as demarcated by the Treaty of Alcanizes of 1297.

Spain interprets Article 105 as not being mandatory on demanding Spain to return Olivenza / Olivença to Portugal, thus not revoking the Treaty of Badajoz.

It was a precursor to the Peninsular Wars, resulting in the Treaty of Badajoz, the loss of Portuguese territory, in particular Olivenza, as well as ultimately setting the stage for the complete invasion of the Iberian Peninsula by French forces.
