Travel Info Hi! I am portuguese, and I am living in London for the past 2 years. I am completely astonished, because most people don't know where Portugal is, and how important it was for the the 15th and 16th century. So I ask you, what do think about Portugal, and what do you know about it? Travel Tips I 鈾?PORTUGAL went there in the summer for my summer holiday.. and it was amazing... stayed in the Algarve which is really nice... People are really friendly aswell.. thort ud be all stuck up cus you had just won the football but really was completly different.. deff going back to Portugal.. possibly the same hotel.. only thing I dont rate is the Sangria... not my cup of tea.. :-) good water parks tho :P x Others We all know where it is...Thanks !! Ronaldo and Nandos!! Peri-Peri Chips hmmmmm! Now for the boaring bit: Portugal has witnessed a constant flow of civilizations during the past 3,100 years, including Greek, Roman, Germanic, Moorish and others, who made an imprint on the country's culture, history, language, and ethnic composition. During the 15th and 16th centuries, with its vast transcontinental empire, Portugal was one of the world's major economic, political, and cultural powers. Portugal came into existence as an independent nation on June 24, 1128, when Count Afonso of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, defeated in battle his mother, Countess Teresa, and her lover, Fern茫o Peres de Trava, thereby establishing himself as sole leader. i know where it is and that the men are taller and better looking than the Spanish they are also a lot less aggressive Portugal is right next to Spain, its capital is Lisbon. In the 16 and 17 Century, was Portugal's golden age and ofcourse colonization around the world. Slave trades from Africa to America, and was one of the mightiest navy on Earth back the day. Present day Brazil used to be one of Portugal's colony in South America. Majority of Portuguese are Catholic, and they freakin love soccer, just like myself. Portuguese women are very cute :D, maybe just like yourself :P ;). I know the name of the country comes from the words: Port of Calais, and that it was an important factor in the discovery of Africa in the 15th and 16th Century. It united with Spain at the end of the 16th century, but became independant again at the 17th century. In 1974, its political system changed. I visited it in the summer. I loved most of the country, found Albufeira a bit over the top, but loved lisbon. I know alot about portugese history and i cant understand people not even know where it is..... Who were you asking? Pre schools? |
