Hello, Ciga that's simlpy wrong :-( , the azinheira does NOT produces olives. NO! Olive tree is Olea europaea, or German Olivenbaum, French olivier and Portuguese oliveira. Right is that the fruit of the "olive tree" is called in Portuguese azeitona.

The azinheira is "Quercus illex rotundifolia" and the azevinho is "Quercus illex aquifolium"; in German: Stein-Eiche; in French chêne vert; and in English holm oak! The "azinheira" produces acorns (Portuguese: bolota; French: gland; German: Eichel). The acorns are one of the most important wildlife food, they are also an important nutrion of the iberian porks (Cerdo Ibérico or Pata Negra), which give best unsmoked Bacon you ever can eat: Jamón Ibérico de Bellota D.O. Dehesa de Extremadura. Far better and healthier than the "Prosciutto di Parma". Look at the "City Coat of Arms" of Grândola there you see two "Holm Oaks" and one "Pata Negra". For an other reason it can not be an "olive tree": "olive trees" give scarcely "shadow", while holm oaks gives a huge "shadow". And the shadow has a big importance in this revolution-song: In the shadow of an holm oak, I swore to have as my companion, the will of the city Grândola: Land of fraternity, where the people command the most.
