The same place it is now...next to Spain!

At least we went to war unlike you who just gave the world the spanish flu that killed 50 million people... good job

That's not answerin the question. the spanish flu didnt start in Portugal either..

when America helped cuba to break free from Spain some the soldiers were infected with the flu, so it started in cuba Towards America then around the world

And to your question :D

Despite its old alliance with Britain started with the Treaty of Windsor in 1386 (the oldest alliance in the world, which is still in force), Portugal did not initially form part of the system of alliances involved in World War I and thus initially kept its neutrality. However, tensions between Germany and Portugal arose due to German U-Boat warfare which sought to blockade the United Kingdom - at the time the most important market for Portuguese products. Clashes also occurred with German troops in the south.

Spain is the only country that borders Portugal.

Portugal produces a lot of things with natural resources. I will give to you some examples:

Cork - The world largest producer - Amorim

Olive Oil - Second largest producer - Sovena

...

etc.

One of the problems with answering this question is that there is only one rail line that crosses the Spanish-Portuguese border. Most people who cross from one country to the other use buses. The other problem is the question of where in each country you start and finish. The line that runs from Madrid to Lisbon and vice versa takes 9.5 hours one-way.

He had a Portuguese pilot, so I don't think it varied much.

The azores are 930 miles, or 1,500 kilometers, from mainland Portugal.

In Portugal we greet people by kissing both cheeks (do not put your lips on other person cheek, simple touch other person cheek with your own cheek and make the sound of a kiss) this is both for people you know as for people you are just meeting.

Men do not kiss each other, except if its family - (ex. father-son, nephew-uncle).

Hand shake is adequate only between men. In Boy-Girl or Girl-Girl greetings, kiss in both cheeks is the adequate manner, using hand shake in this situations would be seen as odd and disrespectful.

A hug usually follow the kiss. Don't forget that Portuguese people are very touchy.

In Formal situations hand shake should be used. Kissing in both cheeks can be used in formal situations if you have a friendship bond or know very well the other person.

Regarding wording, the most common greeting is:

Olá. (Hello, formal/informal)

Tudo bem? (literally "Everything fine?" correct translation "How are you?")

Instead of Olá (Hello) you can use Oi (Hi).

Its not uncommon to use the period of the day as a greeting followed by "tudo bem?" form. For example:

Bons dias or Bom dia. (Good day/morning)

Boas tardes or Boa tarde. (Good afternoon)

Boas noites or Boa noite. (Good evening)

Example:

Boas tardes.

Tudo bem?

As for goodbyes it is used both cheek kiss and the wording:

Adeus (Goodbye, formal)

Xau or Tchau (Bye, informal - more often used)

Até logo (see you latter - used if you will see the person again latter on that day)

Até breve (see you soon - not very common)

Até já (see you just now- used when you are meeting that person again on the same day within a short period of time, minutes or a few hours)

Then a hug. The international hand goodbye gesture is also used after you said goodbye to the person and are distant but look back at the person.

João Moutinho had played 68 times for Portugal before the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Typical Portuguese food include stews, seafood, bread-based and an enormous variety of sweets. Food is tasty and, the basics follow a typical meditteranean diet of olive oil, garlic, parsley, coriander, peppers, seafood, etc. There is also an obsession with cod fish, that is cooked in a thousand ways.

A list of the most famous dishes:

* "Bacalhau à Lagareiro"

* "Cozido à portuguesa"

* "Migas à Alentejana"

* "Cataplana Algarvia"

* "Arroz de moura com grelos"

* "Açorda de marisco"

* "Favas com chouriço"

They do not mean anything.

Significant explanations regarding "bravery", "honour", "bloodshed", "courage", "hope" and so forth, were all later creations made by the dictatorship after the 1930's.

The red flag with a green circle in the center were the colours of one Republican revolutionary flag hoisted in the Oporto City Hall in 1891. From 1891 to 1910, red and green flag colours became the symbol of the Republican movement.

If any historical connection, the red can be directly linked to others 19th century movements, as a symbol of one revolutionary and popular statement.

Portugal is a country. Spain is another. In Portugal you speak Portuguese and in Spain, Spanish. Portugal has been a country since 1143 and since then Portuguese has always been it's official language.

No, Ireland was part of of the United Kingdom at this time although there was big Independence movement.

*edit* There were two Irelands during World War Two. The Free State of Ireland (south, now the Republic of Ireland) and Northern Ireland, still under British rule.

Portuguese people are more mellow, well manered ad have a nicer country.

That about covers it :)

HA HA HA, that was funny, but here is the real deal: THERE IS NO RIVALRY. Some Portuguese with complexes would like to imagine one, but the fact is no in Spain remembers Portugal unless they get a hankering for some bacalao. :D

Yes, Mozambique (Moçambique) IS a former Portuguese colony which become independent for the Portuguese main land with the Portuguese revolution (revolução do cravos - carnation revolution) . This was established with Lusaka treaty, signed in 7 de Setembro de 1974 between the Portuguese government and the liberation movement FRELIMO.

The present Mozambique territory was a established in 1885 in the Berlin conference, but the Portuguese stated occuping the region in the XVI century.

No, I am pretty sure that is comes form Italy:)

Neither too hot nor too cold. Otherwise, it's cold in the North, especially inside the country and warm in the South. The Center is a region of transition. In the North it's common to snow. The northern regions can be pretty cold with temperatures around -15ºC sometimes, during the heaviest days. In the highest mountains it can snow from October to April. In the South, it's rare to go below 0ºC. The summer is hot inside the country and in the south, and moderate in the coastal regions of north, because of the sea. Inside the country the temperatures can go up to 40 sometimes. However, some refreshing days are usual in this season, with refreshing nights.

P.S: The coldest part of Portugal is called Montalegre, which has almost similar climate to Central Europe.
