I have a map in the making
This is the image (in progress)

The Big cities are Badajoz, Elvas e Olivença - I need names for the places circled in red
I suspect the names I can get are much too "young"

Tanks in advance

Complete Atlas of the World - Dorling Kindersley (pdf)

If I'm reading well enough where Elvas, Badajoz and specially Olivença are on your map there is a pair of names on the Atlas that may match two of your red circles although they appear more to the right there.
So, the lowest could maybe be Barcarrota and the one in the high right could be La Albuera.

Atlas Universal Círculo de Leitores (paper- yes its a relic)

Additionally to the two above names there is something close to the low right of Olivença by the name Valverde de Leganés.
While the closest to that in your map is to the high right of Olivença.
Halfway the vertical between La Albuera and Barcarrota and slightly even more to the right there is Almendral

There's also trying to zoom in and out of this:

Looking from this point of view I'd say Olivença is more to the bottom than I thought at first.
The bottom red circle should be Valverde de Leganés.
The one on the upper left, Corazón de Jesus.
Right of it, Las Vaguadas, or maybe Cuartel de Sancha Brava.
The remaining one, in the middle, El Manantio.

Those are precisely the names that i find "too young" - my quest is to know IF there were other more fitting names for the CGE timeframe for those places...

(Like when A-da-Maia ainda tinha o nome completo ou o velho nome da Amadora antes do comboio...)

(Ou o Montijo que em tempos foi Aldegalega)

Valverde seems to have been de Badajoz but more detail is needed about up until exactly when.
Wikipedia mentions last century and the local web page just mentions the name once among many references to de Leganés.

Las Vaguadas seems to be a neighbourhood.

Corazón de Jesus same as.

Wikipedia for Badajoz lists Las Vaguadas and Corazón de Jesus as neighbourhoods.
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badajoz

El Manantio seems to be more of that same.

I wouldn't be surprised if only Valverde existed as a significant inhabited place by the times of GCE.
Think there's a chapel in Corazón but the other two were probably farms.

I'll stay with:

- Valverde - without the "de ..."
- Corazon da Jesus - at least the chapel seems to be pretty old...
- Manantio - the name pops in several places in the region both sides of the border, so it must be a traditional name - I'll drop the "El"
- Malas Aradas - the only name at that place that does not feel "commercial"

Hi, here is a link to the historical section of the Spanish Geographic Institute, after searching Badajoz. There are several old maps, even "topographic" ones from 1937 or 1941.
