Portugal?? |
Travel Info I'm from portugal and I'd like to know what people know of my country, please tell where you are from and some thing you associate with portugal Travel Tips I'm from the Northeast of the US and Ithere is a large Portuguese population here - mostly from the Azores. However, there are also a number of Portuguese from the continent as well. (my gf is one of them.) I have been to Portugal 3 times and have been all over the country. (Except for the Azores.) My last trip there was about 18 months ago and we flew into Lisboa, rented a car and drove north, stopping in Coimbra, Porto, Braga, Ponte de Lima, and into Spain. A friend of hers got married in Braga. Anyway, I love the country of Portugal! I've found the people to be really friendly and warm. The food is fantastic and thanks to my exposure to Portugal, I enjoy sitting outside on a warm summer night, drinking a glass of cold vinho verde! OK...I'm slightly biased, but I find the Portuguese to be the warmest people in Europe! (And I've traveled a bit so I feel I can say this without falling back on stereotypes!) (I also wish I could spend time in the Algarve every summer!!! A few years ago, we spent 11 days just relaxing on the beach before visiting her family....we should have visited the family first and then relaxed on the beach!) Others UK,golfing holidays,is that what you meant. Well, let's see. I am originally from TN, live in Germany now. My dad went to Portugal on vacation once and brought back these cool tile things. So that's what I associate with Portugal. Oh, and my neighbor is half Portugeese (however you spell it) and she has curly hair and I associate that w/ ppl from there too. And I also know or maybe think that the eastern-most point of Europe is in Portugal. delicious seafood I'm Portuguese and apart from the fact that it's home, I don't think you want to know what I think of Portugal... Chicos-espertos, n铆vel cultural horr铆vel, gajos a buzinar e a mandar os m谩ximos, sal谩rios baixos e a baixar cada vez mais porque nunca acompanham a infla莽茫o real, um povo conduzido pela inveja, a quem sabe sempre bem ver a desgra莽a dos outros, um governo autorit谩rio e ainda assim aplaudido, etc., etc., etc. Plus, it's a bit cold in the winter (at least upnorth) and I have the flu. I'm from the US. The most beautiful woman I ever knew was from Portugal. I fell in love with her and her bacalhau. Alas, it was not to be, but thanks for the memory jog. well, im from Turkey and i heard of Portugal that there are sincere and lovely people and in comparison, there is no difference of Turkish and Portuguese people by this point. Also, soccer is another common issue for both. i remember that Portugal has beaten us with the score 2-1 in our team's last match. One of your talented footballer, (of course, ur legend is Luis Figo but) Cristiano Ronaldo is loved in Turkey very much and there are lots of fanatics of him... |
