Portugal
Portugal is situated at the southwest point of Europe and also includes the Madeira and Azores archipelagos in the Atlantic Ocean. Mainland Portugal occupies an area of 88.889 Km2. It is 218 Km wide and 561 Km long. It has 832 Km of Atlantic coast and a 1.251 Km border with Spain.
The Portuguese are warm and hospitable, making this country a safe haven, with vast historical and cultural traditions.
Here we can find influences from other peoples, customs and traditions, especially in the Architecture and Gastronomy, relating to ancient civilizations – Celts, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Suebi, Visigoths and Arabs.
These invasions resulted not only in our geographical position, but also in the diversity of our terrain. All this makes Portugal an ideal destination.
Portugal is fast becoming modern and centuries of history and experiences have contributed to its development today.
