About Portugal
Portugal, one of the oldest countries in Europe, has been independent since the 12th century. You’ll find folk festivals, traditional Fado music, and markets overflowing with fish, fruit, and flowers. The local cuisine relies heavily on the sea, and the most typical dish you’ll find is codfish, which the Portuguese prepare in many different ways. Each region, even the smallest village, keeps particular traditions alive year round through colorful decoration, food, drinks, dances, and songs.
