activities.
…Portugal is a major exporter of wine, olive oil and cork. Given the richness of its soil and climate, Portugal
produces wines with different characteristics. Our olive oil is considered one of the best in the world. We
invented umbrellas, ties and bags made of cork!
… Portugal is a country with more than 800 years of history, being one of the oldest nation-states of Europe.
The presence of several people before the creation of Portugal, from Romans to Arabs, Visigoths and Suevis,
is observed in the architecture of several monuments and in the Portuguese historic villages. In Portugal,
History is around every corner.
