I made this 8mm homemovie during a trip in 1976 to Lisbon and Northern Portugal. It might give you an impression how Portugal looked after the revolution of 1974.
FYI, the trip after Lisbon is up North through EN1 road, followed by some EN up Beira Alta region (also known as "estradas das Beiras"), ending in Viseu. The train station does not exist anymore. Great footage, I particularly liked the old style national roads, with the concrete pillars and traffic signs!
Hello Gordon, really beautiful footage from my home town. Thank you for imortalize it, i want to ask you if i can use this footage, as B roll, for a short movie im making. I will give credits of course, thanks mate. All the best
Imagens espectaculares gostava de ter vivido na década de 70 isto é ao pé de onde moro quando era miúdo a minha mãe levava para estes sítios inclusive ao pé do lago em frente à igreja
Pedro Marques I made this film in the 70ties when I worked in Portugal. I like your comments, but they are all in Portuguese. Please write more in English, so I can follow your comments.
@@gordonashumway - You should learn portuguese ! because the comments are only understandable among the portuguese and his history with Africa colonies , and the trauma of the abandon of collonies by "retornados" meaning the people who return from Africa with empty hands ...

@@gordonashumway I added portuguese music from the period, to your video, in a version I made for my channel in 2016. I contacted you via You Tube private messager (then available, but Google removed it after), to ask your permission. Well I gave you total credit for the video and even complimented you in several portuguese forums. Here is my version: ua-cam.com/video/ExVoaWKKaPA/v-deo.html Back in 2016 I wrote in a few portuguese forums that I was attempting to interview you by email, and ask you questions about how you felt to be in Portugal, two years after the Revolution, from your american perspective. I don't have much time now to devote to forums, but I would make time for you. You have a unique perspective and story to tell, about Portugal in 1976, that will die with you, unless you are interested in sharing it for posterity. I was born in Lisbon in 1976, when you filmed your video... it's very dear to me.
Hi! I'm Joana and I'm working on the editing of a Portuguese documentary film. I can't find the owner video's contact ... so I'm sending the request to use a part of this video. Is it possible to contact YOU via email or something? We would love to use your beautiful images of our city! Thank you, Joana
Realmente é uma boa visão !!! Dar casas a quem nunca trabalhou ou contribuiu para o sistema sendo a maior parte gente estrangeira, à conta dos roubos feitos aos desgraçados que são obrigados a trabalhar, deve saber mesmo bem !!!.
P.R. Estrangeira? Aquela gente que veio das colonias é tão portuguesa quanto você. Voltaram a portugal com uma perna as costas devido á ganancia de politicos porcos e gordos. Esse é que devia criticar por nos "andarem" constantemente a roubar.
Amazing record of the period. So many double-decker buses. And naturally, flared trousers everywhere!

In English please.
@@gordonashumway This is about Portugal with Portuguese people commenting in our native language, what's the problem?

achei muito legal, muito obrigado :-)
Thank you Mr. Gordon very good !! The only thing I would add would be the sound, which could be music
I had music with it, but I kept receiving notes and invoices from the record company.

Very nice! In many ways Portugal is still the same country it was in the 70s.
What
FlyHigh Do you know Portugal today?
principio d fim viva 25 abril viva
GOSTEI XD
Nesta altura Lisboa ainda não estava corrompida
Fuderam tudo
se voces notarem as estradas passeiod estruturas sao melhores k hoje n tem buracos claro dp 25 abril piorou td
claro aquela gente toda a viver em barracas é que era bom :s

Voltaram a portugal com uma perna as costas devido á ganancia de politicos porcos e gordos. Esse é que devia criticar por nos "andarem" constantemente a roubar.
Não me estava a referir à situação dos retornados das ex-colónias, mas sim do sistema atual, e dos imigrantes atuais.
As estradas? Nos anos 80 pelo menos não eram nada boas
Selfish people made Lisbon look beautiful in 1976 but no development in their other colony Mozambique
