Portugal is an independent country, since
the 12th century, possessing one of the most ancient and stable frontiers
in Europe. The people are the result of a curious merge of races, such
as: Celts, Iberians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabians,
Suevians and Visigoths.
The precious marks found in the religious, military and civil architecture,
show the influence of the pre-romantic, romantic, gothic, manuelin (Portuguese
style of the renaissance), baroque and the neoclassic styles, that are
recommended in your visit to Portugal, as well as the Tiles, the Ceramics
and the Tapestry.
The universal figure of Henry, The Navigator,
the Discoveries, dated back to the 14th, 15th and 16th
centuries, show the presence of the Portuguese language and culture
in Africa, America, India, Malaca, China and in Japan.
The universalism of the Portuguese
people is shown in the epic poem “The Lusíadas”
written by Luís de Camões.
The rich natural patrimony is a characteristic of two different climates:
the Continental-Atlantic, north of Tagus River and the
Mediterranean in the south of this important Iberian
river.
The Portuguese wines, pinpointing the world famous Port
Wine, the unmistakable gastronomy, conventual
confection of medieval origin, the cheeses of renowned flavour, build
up the excellent Portuguese table and prove our country’s strong
tourist vocation.
Portugal is the Atlantic doorway to the Iberian Peninsula;
a rather modern democracy; a safe economy; a peaceful, quiet and safe
atmosphere.
Those who travel in Portugal serve the spiritual concepts, favour
the cult of knowledge and a new philosophy of life.
