During the last time such phenomenon as Portugal-addiction becomes more and more evident. Despite the world crisis, the tourists are eager to visit this country, emphasizing the advantages of such kind of journey. The words can not describe the uniqueness of Portugal. The smell of eucalyptus, present practically everywhere, your closeness to the God, when sitting at the foot of the so-called Mountains of the stars (Serra da Estrela), the warmth, hospitality and open-heartedness of Portuguese people – these are the main characteristics of Portugal. Nevertheless, it is a wide-spread notion that Portuguese history, culture, traditions and customs are unknown to the travelers, visiting the country for the first time.
”Come to Portugal a stranger – leave a Portugal a friend” – this old Portuguese saying is right in the bull’s eye.
