Portugal

Portugal has no official religion. The most predominant religion in Portugal is Roman Catholicism. Approximately 84% of the population of Portugal is nominally Catholic, though only about 19% attend mass and take the sacraments regularly, while a larger number wish to be baptized, married in a church, and receive Last Rites

Since Ireland and Portugal are both members of the European Union, they no longer require passports for travellers between those two countries. If, however, you happen to be a visitor from the US who is presently in Ireland but planning to visit Portugal, then you still need a passport, and you should not try to travel on an expired passport. Visit the American embassy and renew your passport.

For 2012 Foreign arrivals rose 54 percent to 7.7 million, the National Statistics Institute figures showed, while hotel revenues slipped just over 2 percent to 1.86 billion euros - within touching distance of the record of 1.96 billion euros set in 2008.

Overall revenues from tourism account for around 10 percent of Portugal's gross domestic product.

No, not yet. But Portugal has a longstanding, historical interest in knowledge of the night sky, and of the heavenly bodies. That interest was formalized in 1290, with the founding of the first Portuguese University. One of the early unversity's courses of study was astronomy. For astronomy always has had great use value, for this fishing and seafaring nation. And, indeed, sailors and navigators were skilled at successful, intrepid navigation by checking the position of the sun in the daytime sky, and the stars in the night and early morning skies. Portugal is a small country of southwestern Europe. It's bounded on the south and west by water, to the north and east by Spain. So optimal use of human and natural resources always has been a priority to the Portuguese, be they among the ruled or the rulers. In the space age, that means directing human and natural resources into technology, over human space flight. In a way, that may be said to be consistent with the nation's seafaring accomplishments of previous centuries. For one reason for the Portuguese worldwide successes was precisely their concentration on the technology of navigating. And the Portuguese opt for opportunities in technology, over human space flight, at the European Space Agency, of which the Republic is a member state. Membership gives nationals a chance for one of two early training opportunities. Both are intended for recent graduates of a four year degree program. The ESA pays all costs in the young graduate trainee program. The appropriate country pays all the costs in the Spanish and Portuguese trainee program. Portugal and Spain each tend to send 30 students through each program, each year. Regardless of the program, actual training always is held in one of the four main ESA establishments, at Paris, France; Darmstadt, Germany; Frascati, Italy; or Noordwijk, Netherlands. At the establishments, training concentrates on engineering and science as applied to the exploration and travel of outer space. Thus, traineeships are available in earth observation, human space flight, mission control operations, navigation, space science, and telecommunications. In fact, Portugal launched its own satellite, the P-Sat 1, on September 26, 1993. To this day, the satellite continues its collecting of images and relaying of communications. And, in another application of technology, Portugal is one of the nations that has been involved in nuclear fusion, as opposed to nuclear fission, research over the past 50 years. Together with counterparts in Sweden and the United Kingdom, Portuguese researchers may have solved one of the major challenges to human space travel. For the three respective research teams released a statement, in November 2008, about overcoming the deadly exposure to space radiation on human flights to Mars. Their research indicates that a space craft may be able to travel within a force field that would protect astronauts from the lethal damage to human tissue by solar wind radiation. The coil could be operated from the space craft's own solar cells, at a charge of 1-2 kilowatts of power 2-3 hours each day of the flight.

I think it is now the Silver Coast of Portugal. Attractive prices of the properties, beautiful landscapes, superbe beaches, excellent restaurants and bars - just everything you need to make a secure property investment!

His troops got tied down in Spain fighting a guerrilla war.

The feast of St. Anthony is on June 13 in Portugal and every other country in the world.

Yes. However, you can get a VISA on-arrival at most points-of-entry into Cambodia for around €20.

About 2 hours.

Usually later around 8 or 9 because a big lunch is eaten during the day around 3 o clock

No. Only in Lisbon and Sintra

Duero and Tagus

it smells like ketchup

Well I was the one who asked this question for my 6th grade Social Studies project that I have to do on Portugal. So I kindly ask if you could answer the question first and not make me have to go to like a million different websites before i get the right answer. And if you don't then I will just tell all of my friends not to come to this web site, because they use this web site for answers all of the time.

There are 323 miles fro Aveiro Portugal to Madrid Spain. It should take five and one half to six hours to drive.

Because Spain was an ally of Germany and is the only direct neighbour to portugal.

Cape St. Vincent is the most southwestern point in Portugal. It is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and is located near Sagres Point.

Until you reach sixty years of age?

The Native Americans died in record numbers (especially in the Caribbean) within decades of the Spanish arrival, primarily from foreign diseases, but also from overwork. The Spaniards and Portuguese needed a labor force to fill the lower rungs of the social ladder in order for the colonial expedition to be profitable. Since the enslavement of Africans was quite accepted in Spain and Portugal due to the former Islamic rulers having African slaves and participating in the African Slave Trade, it was only natural for the Spaniards and Portuguese to expand this trade and begin to use Africans to replace the dying Natives.

The Africans also had much better resistance to both European and tropical diseases since many of these diseases had become prevalent in Africa and, like Europeans, the populations that could not handle these plagues had already been wiped out. The Native Americans had no prior exposure and the immediate genetic winnowing easily removed over fifty percent of the endemic population.

It is important to note that in places like the Andes, where the Native American population did not die off rapidly, African American slaves were not brought in. This is why Peru and Bolivia have a very small percentage of African descendants today.

Portugal is in Group G.

Group G : Brazil, north Korea, ivory coast, Portugal

Same as it is in other civilized countries. You bad-mouth your contry plenty, but others cant do the same or you get upset.
