About Portugal

Portugal is an EU country. The European Union country profile gives Lisbon as its capital and Portuguese as its official EU language. This guide uses seven dated, named records about a food tradition, heritage listings, a winter festival, Fado, language, and labelled country data. Each lesson keeps its claim small enough for a reader to check.
