Based on the portuguese press, both national and local, as well as on memorial works, this article examines General José Sanjurjo's stay in Portugal between 1934 and 1936, and through his presence analyzes how Portuguese territory, especially the Estoril region, served as a stage for the conspiracy to overthrow the Spanish Republic. By analyzing the way in which Sanjurjo was received and welcomed in Portugal, it shows the portuguese alignment with the plans of the Spanish rebels and the importance of the country in the execution of the military coup of July 1936.
