About Portugal
Discover Europe’s hidden treasure. Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe, and the Portuguese are proud of their long history. They also take pride in their language, which has spread far beyond this small country’s shores. You’ll find folk festivals, traditional Fado music, and markets overflowing with fish, fruit, and flowers. The local cuisine relies heavily on the sea, and you’ll find that the Portuguese prepare fish in hundreds of different ways. Each region, even the smallest village, keeps particular traditions alive year round through colorful decoration, food, drinks, dances, and songs.
