    As a Portuguese never knew that bread here was that good. For me it's fine, that makes me think the stuff I take for granted.

    Little amendment.... The whine is named after the city, not the other way around... The wine in Portuguese is called "Vinho do Porto", which translates to "wine of/from Porto".

    We actually don't smoke a lot. The reason you see so many people smoking in the street is because they're no longer allowed to do it anywhere else outside their homes. Even restaurants and cafés - which are private properties - have been prohibit or heavily restricted from allowing smokers.

    Im from Porto and Portugal was named after Portucale that is actually the name of the city of Porto in 1100 to 1200 and the Porto wine is named after the City of Porto.

    I honestly don't know how I end up here, watching this but the last part of the video gave me this warm and nice vibes. I am Portuguese, currently living in the UK and this video recognizes my country, a great country. Thank you for sharing your experience with the world and congratz on your Portuguese, it is good to see someone using saudade and knowing what it means.

    there's a reason why we use so many eggs in pastry, the egg white was used for many things like ironing the expensive clothes of the nobles and with the surplus of sugar from the maritime trade they tried to use the egg yolk in order to not waste anything, the result is the sweets we have since then

    Hi, thank you for your video. Just one correction. the name of Porto comes from Roman "Portus Cale" and actually the wine gets the name from the city. And even the Country name Portugal comes from Portus Cale. :) Wish you the best and that you come back soon.

    It’s beautiful the way she feels about Portugal and Portuguese people.
    I agree with her , I have traveled to different country and work in different country as well but I miss Portugal and everything with it.
    She must go back to Portugal and live over there, for shore she would be very happy without a complicated life.
    Carinho muito obrigado por os sentimentos tão bonitos que sentes por Portugal.

    You made a great video with an almost complete summary of Portugal and Portuguese people. I moved to Portugal, from Brazil, more than 30 years ago and I feel that my love for Portugal is still increasing :-)
    I live in Estoril, near Lisbon, which is warmer and has much less rain than Porto. In the summer it hardly rains. However, both cities are beautiful, although different.
    Teu português é muito bom; muito doce, demonstrando um real amor por Portugal.

    Hi! It was wonderful, for me to hear such beautiful, nice, warm opinions about my country. I guess I will not be able to thank you enough, specially for the "carinho" you mencioned them. Not many years ago, we were considered a province of Spain, and Portuguese were those poor guys who down there in Europe. I´m so glad tings are changing.
    Didn´t you go to Azores? if you didn't don't miss it when you can. By the way, I congratulate yoy for taking 3 days to understand Madeira people. I take at least a week... Thank you so muchfor everything you said. Beijinhos,

    the reason why people love portuguese bread comes from the ammount of salt that we put on it, which is above average. Also, consciously or not, the bread is the point of reference for how salty the other food is.

    The city was founded in 1123, vinho do porto started to be exported in the 16th 17th century mainly to England and some provinces in France and The Netherlands
    However, in the 6th century the romans used the fields around the river to make wine, and during the 13th and 14th century, in order to get money to expand it's walls, called the Fernandina (named after King Fernando) Porto started to produce wine in those same vineyards, mainly white and red wine
    The wine was so good that english merchants started buying a lot of it and taking it back to England, but since the voyage took so long, the wine would go bad
    Brandy was mixed with the wine so it would preserve better, and vinho do Porto was born
