Campino
A campino on horseback
A campino (Portuguese: [kɐ̃ˈpinu]) is a cattle herder in the Portuguese region of Ribatejo.
Campinos work on horse-back, using a long pole (a pampilho or lance) to manage and direct the herd.
Campinos are also known for their distinctive attire, which consists of a green and red stocking cap with a tassel, white shirt with full sleeves, red vest, short dark trousers and white stockings. This is similar to the traditional attire of the forcado, the difference being mainly in the colours.
