Many years ago your ancestors may have been here; the Celts, Romans,
Visigoths, Moors and Germans were attracted by the smell of the sea and the
wealth of our land; they all saw Portugal as the ideal location to conquer. With
its face turned towards the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is still a country full of
opportunities.
Looking towards the future, the Portuguese, still
young and thirsty for knowledge, took their
caravels and sailed to different parts of the
world. We defeated the Adamastor - a terrible
sea monster, discovered tropical Brazil, went
to India and brought great spices to flavour our
famous dishes. In these ways, among others, we
show the world that a small country is capable of
great things!
After facing multiple challenges, Portugal was
built to be one of the most paradisiacal places.
The Portuguese have the art of receiving and
welcoming our visitors in the best of
manners. Equipped with different landscapes,
cultures and heritage, our country
incorporates different parts of the world, making
the travelling experience much more enriching.
