Grândola is known for inspiring the song "Grândola, Vila Morena" by José Afonso, which became an iconic symbol during the Carnation Revolution. The song was used as the second, secret radio broadcast signal on the 25th of April 1974, confirming that the military coup was underway. Its airing just after midnight following "E depois do adeus" on Rádio Renascença, marked the start of the revolution.
The municipal holiday is October 22, the anniversary of Grândola's first foral (charter). The current mayor of Grândola is Luís Vital Alexandre from the Socialist Party (PS).
