Portuguese Music and Dance
The nation's best-known musical form is the melancholic fado (songs believed to have originated from the pinings of 16th-century sailors).
Portuguese Food and Drink
Classic Portuguese meals include sardinhas assadas (charcoal-grilled sardines), pastéis de bacalhau (cod fishcakes) and caldo verde (a soup of cabbage and potatoes). Seafood dishes such as linguado grelhado (grilled sole) and bife de atúm (tuna steak) are appetising staples.
Portuguese Attractions
Lisbon
Lisbon (Lisboa), the country's capital, stands on the banks of the Rio Tejo. A clear choice for Lisbon's finest attraction is the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos.
Sintra
The town of Sintra has a thickly wooded setting, romantic gardens and ramshackle glamour. Dominating the town are a number of palaces and ruins, including the Palácio Nacional de Sintra, an interesting amalgam of Manueline and Gothic architecture, and the Palácio Nacional da Pena.
Évora
The walled town of Évora is one of the architectural gems of Portugal. Situated in Alto Alentejo in a landscape of olive groves, vineyards, wheat fields and brilliant spring flowers, it's a charming town.
