Best thing about Portugal are the Portuguese people. Amicable, tolerant, respectful, and always ready to lay a hand to a foreigner in distressed. And, for sure, after you met a Portuguese, and be invited for their home to enjoy a very pleasant meal, and many drinks, you are pals forever. I'm so proud to be Portuguese, I can't explain it. I just can show it
tbh, we are amazing people in general to tourists who come visit us, but most of the time, truly between us? meh I have to admit we do seem to be nicer and more open than people from other countries but that's probably an opinion formed on steryotypes more than anything idk, we do what we can and are nice and mean just like that
One single word describes the relationship between Portugal and Spain: ALJUBARROTA. 6 thousand Portuguese warriors could stop an Spanish invasion and defeat 30 thousand soldiers of Spain and France, in 1385.
@@andrefranciscosoares3119 Yes, Castille controlled the largest chunk of Iberia (except Aragon, Navarre, Portugal and Granada), but the fact is that the great battle was between Portugal and Castille...
Portugal and Spain are like two siblings with this big rivalry, but nevertheless they love each other. Portugal however has this necessity to stand out from Spain, as Spain spent centuries trying to annex Portugal, while the latter fought to remain independant. In fact, because Portugal would usually kick Spain's ass in most of the battles they engaged, the only way Spain managed to conquer Portugal (but only for 60 years) was through matrimonial alliances that resulted in disputes for the crown when Portugal entered in a situation where there was no heir.
In reality, Portugal was the one tryign to annex Spain or rule over Spain whenever it was possible. Most of Spanish attempts at "annexing" Portugal were actually legitimate, for the Spanish king was usually the ligitimate heir of the Portuguese throne. Portugal would also resot to England quite often, don't forget that. And most of the time when Portuguese say "Spain attacked us" they actally mean Castile, but as you said, there's a necessity to stand out and play the victim for losing at their own game. If you don't want to get punch back, don't punch in the first place.
@@goodaimshield1115 you clearly have no clue of the real history. Go study the real facts. Spain invaded and attacked Portugal innumerables and unsuccessfully times since de formation of the nation with our first king in 1143, and fail all the times. Portugal never attack Spain, we just fight to remain free from Spanish occupation. Until the year 1580, than for birthright finally Spain could reach there biggest ambition and legitimately rule our nation. But that didn't last, but unfortunately lasted enough for Spanish take advantage of portuguese treasures, golds and values.
@@goodaimshield1115 Portugal trying to annex Spain? It must be a joke... The Portuguese were more interested in discovering new lands. Is that what you learn at school? You are certainly playing the victim! Tratado de Tordesilhas, does it ring a bell?

That zipline comes from Spain to Portugal. So people jump into the line at 11AM in Spain and land in Portugal at 10:01 AM. That's coming back in time. 😂 Portuguese is the 5th most spoken language in the world. The biggest waves are in Praia do Norte, Peniche. (Edit: Praia do Norte is in Nazaré, not Peniche) The question with Olivença as to do with the fact that Spain, allied with France during the Napoleonic Invasions (early 1800's), ocupied that town. When the war ended, Spain signed a treaty agreeing to return Olivença, but never did it. No one wants a war now, but we don't forget...

I would like to add that Portugal was the first to introduce the sweet orange trees in Europe, brought from China. In some countries (e.g., Romania, Greek, Arab countries, ) the fruit is named as a variation of the "Portugal" word
There are some serious flaws with the original video: 1) Saying PT-ES relationships have been mostly amicable is considering a very short time-frame for PT and ES history. A simple google search for Spain-Portugal wars will tell you that ES and PT have been at least once per century on different sides of battles and that is true also at least from the 1400s to the 1900s. 2) Saying that Portugal is in the wrong for having a different timezone than Spain is not understanding basic geography in itself. Given the sunrise and sunset times it makes a lot of sense the PT position. Just notice on a map where the UK is and keep in mind they too have the -1 hour than Spain. Spain chose to align with central Europe on their timezone for political reasons. That is also easy to google. 3) It is true that a lot of Portuguese (self-)"identify" as Roman Catholics. But it is also true that the vast majority are lapsed Catholics. These lapsed Catholics in Portugal barely ever turn into "evangelism", meaning that despite the very large number of churches due to historical reasons you feel a significantly less religious vibe on people when compared to other countries (for example Brazil, with which a self-identity rate is lower than Portugal, but feels significantly more into religion than Portugal). 4) Arigatou is not derived from obrigado. That is a (quite common) myth. Comes from the old adjective arigatai which is found in written records from before the Portuguese were there. On your reactions: A) Yes, borders are small. Relevantly, since the European Union is a thing, there is freedom of movement between countries. If you travel around here you'll seamlessly switch country. It is very hard to explain the EU to the insiders (let alone outsiders), but I guess the simplest way to put it is a sort-of-federalized-union-of-countries-that-is-a-bit-half-a||ed-but-still-mostly-works. It means as EU citizens you have basically all the rights of citizens of other countries when you are there. There is some paperwork involved, but you pretty much do. B) We do have a lot of cork, but most apparel of cork is a tourist scam, at least in large or very touristy places. You'll have a hard-time finding stuff 100% cork and when you do it will be quite a few times more expansive! Minor things: > On Sintra I wonder why the original video did not have a picture of Pena Palace, but K. > And on the walking side by side with Spain. While I personally agree with that, I truly don't think it applies to the majority, some reasons: - Both PT and ES have idioms which are are quite detrimental the other. - PT sided with UK in many conflicts and ES with France. - From PT point of view ES is generally entitled and from ES point of view PT is the hillbilly. - Many PT-ES wars were Spain declaring war and invading Portugal and *none* the opposite. In common you have the similarity of language, **but** historically Spain doesn't like their own plurality of languages - the "Catellanization" of Galician makes it evident. Not sure if that is the reason why Spanish tend to make zero effort to speak PT (or even English) in Portugal while the reverse is not true. Both ES and PT received expensive aid during the last financial-sovereign crises, **but** ES is still significantly more powerful than PT economically which makes empathy complicated. Culturally though, they are very similar, yes. Maybe for the authors of the video the ES-PT connection is greater than it is because for emigrants living outside their own countries having someone with similar culture is important and you associate the country with the specific people you meet and you go beyond these overarching things you feel when you actually live there.
Verdade tudo! E alem do mais portuguêses não gostam de ser confundidos com espanhois, nunca gostaram! Se nos dizem que somos praticamente os mesmos, nós damos uma bela duma bufetada (nem que seja mental) na pessoa e ainda a manda-mos dar uma volta á boa moda portuguesa. Até os catalões preferem ser confundidos com portuguêses do que com espanhóis, alguns ficam até mais irritados que os próprios portuguêses...
Portugal, a small territory that had belonged to the Kingdom of Galicia, became independent from the Kingdom of León in the 12th century, when the Iberian Peninsula was divided into several kingdoms, "Christians" and Muslims, as you can see on the map in the video (21:21) - sadly the map does not show the different muslim kingdoms. Spain only emerged about 600 years later in the union of all the other Iberian kingdoms and, even today, it cannot be considered a real country, because some of these ancient kingdoms continue fighting for their separation (and have their own languages). Portugal is in Hispania (the name that the Romans gave to Iberia) but not in Spain (from 18th century). They say, in the video, that the Portuguese don't like to be told they speak Spanish. Well, "Spanish" doesn't exist. What is now called Spanish is Castilian (the language of the ancient kingdom of Castile). Portuguese language is Galician. Of course, nowadays it is not exactly the same because, unlike Galician from Galicia, which remained stagnant because it was banned in Spain, like all the languages (if you spoke anything other than Castilian, you would be dead; but some people continued to do it secretly in family and friends circles, so most of those languages didn't disappear), Portuguese evolved (often for the worse - like is happening now). The other second language spoken in Portugal, Mirandês, is the language of the Kingdom of León, completely annihilated by Castilian on the Spanish side. There are Japanese words derived from Portuguese, but "arigato" is not one of them. When the Portuguese arrived in Japan for the first time, it already existed and doesn't mean exactly the same thing. Sorry: I talk too much!
Every time Spain try to invade Portugal, they always lost and Spain tried many times. Even after ww1, when there civil war ended, they tried to make a new constitution with Portugal joining Spain, whit out asking Portugal first. Portugal said F... No!!
@@purnamamerindu8166 God fk no! I love Spain and they're great neighbors and friends, but i could never not be Portuguese! And honestly, if not spoken fast, most Portuguese people can actually understand Spanish. They're very similar languages.

It's funny how Portuguese always forget it was them who started most of those fights by trying to rule over Spain and place Portuguese kings in the Spanish throne. You also forget England's help. How convinient.
Fun fact to you due to you being Australian.

Just a simple fact, the word "tea" comes from the Portuguese tea boxes with TEA stamped, transported to UK. It means: Transportes de Ervas Aromáticas :)
Na realidade não tem nada a ver com isso. Mas eu possodizer de onde vem a palavra Tea. Tea vem da letra T que em Inglês lê-se TEA. Por isso eles não escreviam TEA mas sim simplesmente a palavra T nos sacos, porque antigamente nós escreviamos Tchá e não Chá como agora. E para não demorar tanto, passaram só a escrever T nos sacos. Por isso se reparares, na Espanha, Na França na Inglaterra chá é dito como se diz a letra T. Porque naquela altura a lingua oficial da Inglaterra era o Francês, mais que o Inglês.
Fiquei triste terem mencionado quase nada da francesinha, e ao lado desta meterem uma febra no pão a reprentar as bifanas portuenses. Mas pronto. Não se pode ter tudo 😂
Dear TK Top Travel, the country is fully open again now that we have over 95 % of the population is vaccinated. Bar´s, night clubs, music concerts etc. are fully open. Get on a plane and come visit us and join the exponentially growing number of fellow U.S. Citizens that have chosen Portugal to emigrate to. ps: J.K.

Our college students traditional robes also inspired Hogwarts robes and many many other things in the books came from Portugal.
22:13 yeah what he said it's accurate. We used to fight a lot (kinda like when 2 young siblings are always trying to one-up the other and can sometimes be dicks to each other) but as we've grown older together we also started to understand, care and respect each other more, despite our personal differences.
Hi! TH-cam made me find your video! I’m Portuguese and just want to explain the hour difference! We are in the same meridian ( Greenwich) as the Uk not the same as Spain. That is why we really have a time difference! Loved the video! The original too!
really? check it out the greenwich passes through france from there 15 deg. for one hour portugal is around 10 W and 0 W is in france, where does spain fit?
The "stonehenge" monuments simbolized the fertility, although nothe the woman's fertility but the earth's fertility marking the start of sedentarism, when Man decided stop being, nomad but to create fundations and start farming to make most of their food instead recolect or hunting or fishing. So the monument marks the end of the Neolitic Period and the start of the civilization process.
They're called cromlechs and besides the facts that you pointed out, they also have a practical usage of a calendar, since in the solstice and the equinox both Venus and the sun line up perfectly with the monuments.
That bookstore's staircase actually inspired JK Rowling with the design of the moving staircases you see at Hogwarts. Apparently she wrote at least part of the first book whilst living in Portugal. (Another 2 examples of this are the black capes the students at Hogwarts use, inspired by the capes used in all Portuguese Universities, and of course the name Salazar Slytherin, taken from the former Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar)

The reason Spain is 1 hour ahead in time is because during Franco regime (dictator of Spain) he changed the time zone of Spain to be closer whit Germany (Hitler).
That is true, and we suffer weird times to go to school/work, having dinner and going to bed becouse of that. Whatever, that made us who we are I guess
And I thoght it was because Portugal is crossed by the Greenwich meridian, due to geographic and not political reasons. Spain is crossed by a different meridian. We base worldwide the time regarding meridians at least scientificaly

Honestly, I'm a portuguese, born and raised, but when they said Magaello (or whatever it was) I had no idea what they were talking about... Then it hit me... They were talking about Fernão de Magalhães... It made more sense like that
I'm surprised they didn't mention Evora's Capela dos Ossos when they brought up the stonehedge there. There's also fantastic Roman ruins in multiple places in the country. From Conimbriga, to the Catacombs in Lisbon, all the way to the Alentejo. And yes, genetically, the Portuguese are a wild mix of genetic traits, but we borrow heavily from our Celtic pre-roman ancestry which makes us quite similar to the Irish and Britains. Fun fact: Katy Perry's maternal side was from the Azores (Perry is in fact the anglicised version of Pereira). She uses her grandmother's name. As for the animosity/frenemy relationship with Spain. That one's a doozy. Our first king, quite literally fought his Spanish mother for independence (although Spain as we now know it didn't exist; it was still a series of fractured kingdoms; Aragon, Castile, etc). They glossed over nearly 1000 years of history LOL
Although Portugal and Castile/Spain have a long history of disagreements, there are also numerous treaties such as the one of "Tordesillas" that divided the world in two and was responsible for all of Latin America. As a Portuguese I don't feel any animosity towards the Spanish people and they are always welcome. That story of be better speak english than spanish in Portugal is too exaggerated. English is probably easier to understand because the spanish accent is quite difficult for those who are unfamiliar with the language. In addition, most of the disputes were based on claims of thrones due to marriages between the royal houses of the two countries... a thing of kings, not of people.
Hi, I'm from Portugal. When they mentioned the 1755 earthquake in the video, they didn't say everything because it wasn't a simple earthquake. On November 1, 1755, which was a holiday where people went to mass in the morning, that is, there were many people on the street and without them knowing, an earthquake of magnitude 8.7 to 9 occurred. The candles that were lit in the church and perhaps in some houses fell and caused a fire that devastated almost the entire city of Lisbon. But this is not all. After these events, people decided to take shelter in the port area, what they didn't know is that a few tens of minutes later there would be a 10-meter tsunami. More than 10 thousand dead or even more, a fire that lasted 5 days, houses, streets, churches, everything was destroyed in those days. And the suffering of the people lasted for months.
That's true! but it is a little bit overrated (maybe by political reasons at some point). The 1531 earthquake was also very destructive (30.000 people died) and no one ever talks about it...
I only now found this video, but as portuguese person I want to thank you for the opportunity that you gave to people around the world to know more about the small country . We are a very old nation with a lot of history. I hope you one day come here to visit us 🙂
Just to note that Portugal is not one hour behind, Spain is one hour ahead, as most of their country is in line with the GMT time zone. They decided to in GMT +1 to be in the same time zone as (most of GMT +1) Europe.

Being from Porto I must say that you forgot one of the most important products, not only from Porto but from Portugal in general, which is the 'Oporto Wine' (Vinho do Porto). It's an unique type of wine only made here and in fact, it's produced in the other side of the Douro river, in Vila Nova de Gaia. It's very appreciated by the british who actually own some of the main producers. That was a HUGE omission so, you should look out for more information about it. Also, you should know that Portugal has THE oldest borders of all european countries. You should also know that in the Roman Empire era, we had a sort of Asterix called Viriato, a great warrior who resisted the Roman invasions. Porto also resisted the Napolean invasions, which is why Porto is commonly known as 'Cidade Invicta' which translates as 'Undefeated City'. And lastly, although it's not as important as Oporto wine, you should get to know two dishes, also unique in Porto which are 'Tripas à moda do Porto', a dish with a very important story and responsible for the Porto's natives nickname 'tripeiros', and the 'Francesinha', a type of sandwich, covered by cheese and dipped in a special sauce that's considered a secret recipe by Porto's cooks. In general all the information here is correct but you should really look out for the Oporto Wine. Oh, and the river in the center region is not called 'Tagus', it's 'Tejo'...

Ok, so Stonehenge is located in Britain and it's one of the most known pre-historic monuments (or landscapes). It's like the equivalent of the pyramids in Europe (I think).
I'm portuguese. Here's the thing about Portugal/Spain. We're very similar and we enjoy each other's countries. That is now, ofc. we have some history... The spanish with their french alliance tried to conquer us for centuries and we always fought them off. For example, in the 17th century the Battle of Arronches took place in Alentejo, the king of Sapin against the king of Portugal. We were significantly outnumbered and yet still managed to defeat them badly. This history might be the reason for the little rivalry between our two countries. But it's more of a funny and sarcastic rivalry than a real one. In fact we called them "nuestros hermanos" - our brothers, because the truth is both of our cultures are very old and we are neighbors for centuries. So history is history. 🙂
I guess he forgot to say : Joaquim de Almeida he was on pirates of the Caribbean and fast and furious And Diogo morgado he was Jesus on the Bibles series and other series but close enough
In the middle age the kings of Portugal and Spain almost married between each other. Three`s the reason of fighting. But now Portugal and Spain have a good friendship and we love our neighbors and they also. We are like brothers. I`m Portuguese. We use to called "NUESTOS ERMANOS" (our brothers). There`s no War. NEVER.
It's always a painful experience watching Americans react to international things. How they are completely clueless about what happens and goes on outside their massive (and beautiful) country. I'll never understand how the citizens of such an influential and powerful country are so ignorant and uninterested in what happens outside the U.S.A. Having lived in four different states across the US, I was always amazed at their lack of interest and knowledge about the world. This couple, although noticeably clueless, at least are trying to learn something. In this case, you show them a 30 minute video about a 1000 year-old country and what they find interesting is a zipline and the size of waves. How can you not love americans?
Spain still owes us the city of olivença since the treaty of Alcanizes ( pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivença ) since 1801 , they recognized that it belongs to Portugal and that they were going to return it , but until today it has not done so , a country of bad debtors , how can we like someone who invaded us so many times and robbed us.
Now now... Don't be grumpy, both Portugal and Spain tried one to many times to invade each other and rule more land, and when it comes to robbing, let's not get ahead of ourselves... Both countries robbed and were robbed, not to mention two of the biggest colonizers that piled other countries from their resources... So, it is the XXI century, let's accept the history and move forward as people living in the same planet.

I would like to add that Portugal was the first to introduce the sweet orange trees in Europe, brought from China. In some countries (e.g., Romania, Greek, Arab countries, ) the fruit is named as a variation of the "Portugal" word
There are some serious flaws with the original video:
1) Saying PT-ES relationships have been mostly amicable is considering a very short time-frame for PT and ES history. A simple google search for Spain-Portugal wars will tell you that ES and PT have been at least once per century on different sides of battles and that is true also at least from the 1400s to the 1900s.
2) Saying that Portugal is in the wrong for having a different timezone than Spain is not understanding basic geography in itself. Given the sunrise and sunset times it makes a lot of sense the PT position. Just notice on a map where the UK is and keep in mind they too have the -1 hour than Spain. Spain chose to align with central Europe on their timezone for political reasons. That is also easy to google.
3) It is true that a lot of Portuguese (self-)"identify" as Roman Catholics. But it is also true that the vast majority are lapsed Catholics. These lapsed Catholics in Portugal barely ever turn into "evangelism", meaning that despite the very large number of churches due to historical reasons you feel a significantly less religious vibe on people when compared to other countries (for example Brazil, with which a self-identity rate is lower than Portugal, but feels significantly more into religion than Portugal).
4) Arigatou is not derived from obrigado. That is a (quite common) myth. Comes from the old adjective arigatai which is found in written records from before the Portuguese were there.
On your reactions:
A) Yes, borders are small. Relevantly, since the European Union is a thing, there is freedom of movement between countries. If you travel around here you'll seamlessly switch country. It is very hard to explain the EU to the insiders (let alone outsiders), but I guess the simplest way to put it is a sort-of-federalized-union-of-countries-that-is-a-bit-half-a||ed-but-still-mostly-works. It means as EU citizens you have basically all the rights of citizens of other countries when you are there. There is some paperwork involved, but you pretty much do.
B) We do have a lot of cork, but most apparel of cork is a tourist scam, at least in large or very touristy places. You'll have a hard-time finding stuff 100% cork and when you do it will be quite a few times more expansive!
Minor things:
> On Sintra I wonder why the original video did not have a picture of Pena Palace, but K.
> And on the walking side by side with Spain.
While I personally agree with that, I truly don't think it applies to the majority, some reasons:
- Both PT and ES have idioms which are are quite detrimental the other.
- PT sided with UK in many conflicts and ES with France.
- From PT point of view ES is generally entitled and from ES point of view PT is the hillbilly.
- Many PT-ES wars were Spain declaring war and invading Portugal and *none* the opposite.
In common you have the similarity of language, **but** historically Spain doesn't like their own plurality of languages - the "Catellanization" of Galician makes it evident. Not sure if that is the reason why Spanish tend to make zero effort to speak PT (or even English) in Portugal while the reverse is not true.
Both ES and PT received expensive aid during the last financial-sovereign crises, **but** ES is still significantly more powerful than PT economically which makes empathy complicated.
Culturally though, they are very similar, yes. Maybe for the authors of the video the ES-PT connection is greater than it is because for emigrants living outside their own countries having someone with similar culture is important and you associate the country with the specific people you meet and you go beyond these overarching things you feel when you actually live there.

You know, the Hawaiian malasadas actually are a Portuguese creation, coming from Azores.
True
*Açores
@@tinax902 Eu sei que é Açores, mas em inglês é escrito com z.
Malasadas are from Madeira! It was the Madeirans that took them to Hawaii when they emigrated there.

Portugal, a small territory that had belonged to the Kingdom of Galicia, became independent from the Kingdom of León in the 12th century, when the Iberian Peninsula was divided into several kingdoms, "Christians" and Muslims, as you can see on the map in the video (21:21) - sadly the map does not show the different muslim kingdoms.
Spain only emerged about 600 years later in the union of all the other Iberian kingdoms and, even today, it cannot be considered a real country, because some of these ancient kingdoms continue fighting for their separation (and have their own languages).
Portugal is in Hispania (the name that the Romans gave to Iberia) but not in Spain (from 18th century).
They say, in the video, that the Portuguese don't like to be told they speak Spanish. Well, "Spanish" doesn't exist. What is now called Spanish is Castilian (the language of the ancient kingdom of Castile).
Portuguese language is Galician. Of course, nowadays it is not exactly the same because, unlike Galician from Galicia, which remained stagnant because it was banned in Spain, like all the languages (if you spoke anything other than Castilian, you would be dead; but some people continued to do it secretly in family and friends circles, so most of those languages didn't disappear), Portuguese evolved (often for the worse - like is happening now).
The other second language spoken in Portugal, Mirandês, is the language of the Kingdom of León, completely annihilated by Castilian on the Spanish side.
There are Japanese words derived from Portuguese, but "arigato" is not one of them. When the Portuguese arrived in Japan for the first time, it already existed and doesn't mean exactly the same thing.
Sorry: I talk too much!
Every time Spain try to invade Portugal, they always lost and Spain tried many times. Even after ww1, when there civil war ended, they tried to make a new constitution with Portugal joining Spain, whit out asking Portugal first.
Portugal said F... No!!
If its happen, does that mean Portuguese have to learn spanish like what they did to Catalunya and Basque?
@@purnamamerindu8166 learn from history, it will never happen.
@@purnamamerindu8166 God fk no! I love Spain and they're great neighbors and friends, but i could never not be Portuguese! And honestly, if not spoken fast, most Portuguese people can actually understand Spanish. They're very similar languages.
@@purnamamerindu8166 haha you are funny i was born in madrid and grow up in beja since a year old. my mother family is half spanish half portuguese and my father family is all portuguese and lets not forget my father grow up around gypsies because his father was a "tentero" so he became too. and in the end i would not do it ever. one think you need to understand about portuguese is you can take everything from us but you will never take our spirit, we dont bend. we are stubborn and proud people that is a reason why we can fight spain for 900 years you can throw another millennium at us we will still be stranding.
It's funny how Portuguese always forget it was them who started most of those fights by trying to rule over Spain and place Portuguese kings in the Spanish throne. You also forget England's help. How convinient.
Loved your reactions guys! Portugal seems amazing. Hi from Melbourne, Australia
Yes it is! Remember that we speek portuguese not spanish. Hi from Oporto, Portugal second largest city
Fun fact to you due to you being Australian. Recently there was some historical findings that prove the Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot in Australia but for some reason never settled in.

Hi from Setubal, Portugal
Also "PORTUGAL CARALHO"
Just a simple fact, the word "tea" comes from the Portuguese tea boxes with TEA stamped, transported to UK.
It means: Transportes de Ervas Aromáticas :)
Na realidade não tem nada a ver com isso. Mas eu possodizer de onde vem a palavra Tea. Tea vem da letra T que em Inglês lê-se TEA. Por isso eles não escreviam TEA mas sim simplesmente a palavra T nos sacos, porque antigamente nós escreviamos Tchá e não Chá como agora. E para não demorar tanto, passaram só a escrever T nos sacos. Por isso se reparares, na Espanha, Na França na Inglaterra chá é dito como se diz a letra T. Porque naquela altura a lingua oficial da Inglaterra era o Francês, mais que o Inglês.

ps: J.K. Rowling lived in Porto Portugal she took inspiration based in that library for the harry potter books. Our college students traditional robes also inspired Hogwarts robes and many many other things in the books came from Portugal.
22:13 yeah what he said it's accurate. We used to fight a lot (kinda like when 2 young siblings are always trying to one-up the other and can sometimes be dicks to each other) but as we've grown older together we also started to understand, care and respect each other more, despite our personal differences.
We usually say 'from Spain neither good weather /wind nor good marriage!' / de Espanha, nem bom vento nem bom casamento... 😜
Hi! TH-cam made me find your video! I’m Portuguese and just want to explain the hour difference! We are in the same meridian ( Greenwich) as the Uk not the same as Spain. That is why we really have a time difference! Loved the video! The original too!
really? check it out the greenwich passes through france from there 15 deg. for one hour portugal is around 10 W and 0 W is in france, where does spain fit?
The "stonehenge" monuments simbolized the fertility, although nothe the woman's fertility but the earth's fertility marking the start of sedentarism, when Man decided stop being, nomad but to create fundations and start farming to make most of their food instead recolect or hunting or fishing. So the monument marks the end of the Neolitic Period and the start of the civilization process.
They're called cromlechs and besides the facts that you pointed out, they also have a practical usage of a calendar, since in the solstice and the equinox both Venus and the sun line up perfectly with the monuments.
yep,and is older than UK one.
Actually regarding the UTC+1 or UTC+2 it was Spain that changed long time ago, because they should be in fact on UTC+1
Ukelele is from Madeira, took The instrument to Hawai, we call it braguinha . The beach isn’t in Madeira island but in Porto Santo island.
That bookstore's staircase actually inspired JK Rowling with the design of the moving staircases you see at Hogwarts. Apparently she wrote at least part of the first book whilst living in Portugal. (Another 2 examples of this are the black capes the students at Hogwarts use, inspired by the capes used in all Portuguese Universities, and of course the name Salazar Slytherin, taken from the former Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar)

The reason Spain is 1 hour ahead in time is because during Franco regime (dictator of Spain) he changed the time zone of Spain to be closer whit Germany (Hitler).
That is true, and we suffer weird times to go to school/work, having dinner and going to bed becouse of that. Whatever, that made us who we are I guess

Actually it's Spain who is on the wrong time zone!
@@anibalcaixinha i just saing the time zone in the video about Portugal is wrong we follow the GMT 0 on winter and GmT+1 in summer.
sintra is not a city , is a municipality that has half a dozen small cities
Honestly, I'm a portuguese, born and raised, but when they said Magaello (or whatever it was) I had no idea what they were talking about... Then it hit me... They were talking about Fernão de Magalhães... It made more sense like that
I'm surprised they didn't mention Evora's Capela dos Ossos when they brought up the stonehedge there. There's also fantastic Roman ruins in multiple places in the country. From Conimbriga, to the Catacombs in Lisbon, all the way to the Alentejo.
And yes, genetically, the Portuguese are a wild mix of genetic traits, but we borrow heavily from our Celtic pre-roman ancestry which makes us quite similar to the Irish and Britains.
Fun fact: Katy Perry's maternal side was from the Azores (Perry is in fact the anglicised version of Pereira). She uses her grandmother's name.
As for the animosity/frenemy relationship with Spain. That one's a doozy. Our first king, quite literally fought his Spanish mother for independence (although Spain as we now know it didn't exist; it was still a series of fractured kingdoms; Aragon, Castile, etc). They glossed over nearly 1000 years of history LOL
Teresa from León was the mother of Alfonso I of Portugal. Was she spanish at that time? I guess she was Leonesa.
@@obonillo There was no Spain at the time. She was from Leão e Castela, yes.
We are a pretty old and proud nation.
Although Portugal and Castile/Spain have a long history of disagreements, there are also numerous treaties such as the one of "Tordesillas" that divided the world in two and was responsible for all of Latin America. As a Portuguese I don't feel any animosity towards the Spanish people and they are always welcome. That story of be better speak english than spanish in Portugal is too exaggerated. English is probably easier to understand because the spanish accent is quite difficult for those who are unfamiliar with the language. In addition, most of the disputes were based on claims of thrones due to marriages between the royal houses of the two countries... a thing of kings, not of people.
Hi, I'm from Portugal.
When they mentioned the 1755 earthquake in the video, they didn't say everything because it wasn't a simple earthquake.
On November 1, 1755, which was a holiday where people went to mass in the morning, that is, there were many people on the street and without them knowing, an earthquake of magnitude 8.7 to 9 occurred. The candles that were lit in the church and perhaps in some houses fell and caused a fire that devastated almost the entire city of Lisbon. But this is not all. After these events, people decided to take shelter in the port area, what they didn't know is that a few tens of minutes later there would be a 10-meter tsunami. More than 10 thousand dead or even more, a fire that lasted 5 days, houses, streets, churches, everything was destroyed in those days. And the suffering of the people lasted for months.
That's true! but it is a little bit overrated (maybe by political reasons at some point). The 1531 earthquake was also very destructive (30.000 people died) and no one ever talks about it...
TEA=Transportes de Ervas Aromáticas
Do you know that?

Just to note that Portugal is not one hour behind, Spain is one hour ahead, as most of their country is in line with the GMT time zone. They decided to in GMT +1 to be in the same time zone as (most of GMT +1) Europe.

Being from Porto I must say that you forgot one of the most important products, not only from Porto but from Portugal in general, which is the 'Oporto Wine' (Vinho do Porto). It's an unique type of wine only made here and in fact, it's produced in the other side of the Douro river, in Vila Nova de Gaia. It's very appreciated by the british who actually own some of the main producers. That was a HUGE omission so, you should look out for more information about it. Also, you should know that Portugal has THE oldest borders of all european countries. You should also know that in the Roman Empire era, we had a sort of Asterix called Viriato, a great warrior who resisted the Roman invasions. Porto also resisted the Napolean invasions, which is why Porto is commonly known as 'Cidade Invicta' which translates as 'Undefeated City'. And lastly, although it's not as important as Oporto wine, you should get to know two dishes, also unique in Porto which are 'Tripas à moda do Porto', a dish with a very important story and responsible for the Porto's natives nickname 'tripeiros', and the 'Francesinha', a type of sandwich, covered by cheese and dipped in a special sauce that's considered a secret recipe by Porto's cooks. In general all the information here is correct but you should really look out for the Oporto Wine. Oh, and the river in the center region is not called 'Tagus', it's 'Tejo'...
You can say almost the same about the Wine of Madeira and Ginginha. cheers

I'm portuguese.
Here's the thing about Portugal/Spain. We're very similar and we enjoy each other's countries. That is now, ofc. we have some history...
The spanish with their french alliance tried to conquer us for centuries and we always fought them off.
For example, in the 17th century the Battle of Arronches took place in Alentejo, the king of Sapin against the king of Portugal. We were significantly outnumbered and yet still managed to defeat them badly.
This history might be the reason for the little rivalry between our two countries. But it's more of a funny and sarcastic rivalry than a real one. In fact we called them "nuestros hermanos" - our brothers, because the truth is both of our cultures are very old and we are neighbors for centuries. So history is history. 🙂
I'm from Portugal and I feel very happy

It's always a painful experience watching Americans react to international things. How they are completely clueless about what happens and goes on outside their massive (and beautiful) country. I'll never understand how the citizens of such an influential and powerful country are so ignorant and uninterested in what happens outside the U.S.A.
Having lived in four different states across the US, I was always amazed at their lack of interest and knowledge about the world. This couple, although noticeably clueless, at least are trying to learn something. In this case, you show them a 30 minute video about a 1000 year-old country and what they find interesting is a zipline and the size of waves. How can you not love americans?
Spain still owes us the city of olivença since the treaty of Alcanizes ( pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivença ) since 1801 , they recognized that it belongs to Portugal and that they were going to return it , but until today it has not done so , a country of bad debtors , how can we like someone who invaded us so many times and robbed us.
Now now... Don't be grumpy, both Portugal and Spain tried one to many times to invade each other and rule more land, and when it comes to robbing, let's not get ahead of ourselves... Both countries robbed and were robbed, not to mention two of the biggest colonizers that piled other countries from their resources... So, it is the XXI century, let's accept the history and move forward as people living in the same planet.
