    I see a lot of negative comments on this video, shame on them. I am Portuguese and very happy that you took the time and made the effort to put it together for everyone. Our language is difficult and our culture is very complex. There is a lot, not easy to compress into just a short video. But you did a great job showcasing the main focal points.❤❤❤. Muito Obrigada. Beijinhos. 😊💚💛❤️ 🇵🇹🌹

    The Douro starts in Spain and runs westerly through Portugal, ending in Porto. It is not the border between Portugal and Spain. The pastel de nata shown in the video is not even close to Pasteis de nata. Fact check

    The library that is shown in the video is not Bertrand in Lisbon but the famous Library Lello in Porto where J. K. Rowling writer of Harry Potter, was inspired for the library that she describes in the book and later on in the movie. Pastel de Nata is a small yellow crispy custard pie without any fruits cover. Pronunciation of the Portuguese words and especially when written, should be carefully reviewed before posting the video along other images that don't match with what is appearing in the video. Still, congratulations for the effort and research .

    Great video! Although, the description of the portuguese custard tart is correct, this video shows a standard custard tart. The portuguese custard tarts are not served with cherries (although there are cherry flavoured portuguese custard tarts) and they're more commonly bite-size!

    Understanding this European phenomenal either no man's land or a lure since the Cuban empire, which not long ago a pilgrimage was instated by a steady people from down South America, era 1960's to 70's. The main wine is port or Cristano Ronaldo with coffee & chicken & frogs dishes. The scenery is phenomenal and rumor had it that Noah's ark started & ended in Portugal. Later, they changed it to the ancient gallillea boat. Never the less, it draws people here, then they flee for whatever reason. The sea is full of swimming snakes, with box jellyfish, weird creatures, lots of myth to be continued....

    Here are 15 fascinating mistakes in this video:
    1:08 - "Its", not "it's".
    1:20 - "Estrela", not "Estrella". Estrella is Spanish.
    1:24 - Mondego, not Montego.
    1:45 - Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, not Doria Formosa.
    2:18 - Álvares Cabral, not Alvarez Cabral. Alvarez is Spanish.
    2:32 - Neither Pinedagueres nor Pineda gatez, it's Peneda Gerês. In this case the "g" has "j" sound.
    2:53 - It's Benagil, not Bengali.
    3:42 - The path the Douro river takes is not the border nor it marks the distinction between Portugal and Spain, the river that (partially) does that is the Minho river.
    4:24 - What??? I'm a 57 year old portuguese person and I've never heard of a carnival with boats in the Algarve! Plus, those pictures are from boats in Vila Nova de Gaia, which is in the opposite side of the country.
    5:02 - Not any rooster, it's the Barcelos rooster.
    6:51 - We call it Bacalhau, not Bacalao and certainly not mackerel.
    7:50 - Azulejos, not Azuelos and definitely not willows.
    8:46 - Sarah Del Rey, a Candia rose???? 🤣
    9:12 - What others already said in the comments.
    10:16 - Those clips are from the Lello bookstore in Porto, not from the Bertrand bookstore in Lisbon.
    If you're going to keep putting subtitles in the videos, get them right instead of letting the Artificial Ignorance do them. Or don't put them at all, they make things even worse than your pronunciation.

    The Douro River is *not* the border between Portugal and Spain and the video shown if supposedly a pastel de nata wasn't a pastel de nata. It was some kind of tart, but definitely *not* a pasteis de nata. I wish videos like this would fact check. I am sure there were definite some things missed and also I suspect there was stolen video in here regarding the carnival from Dave in Portugal's channel. 🙄

    Was this video made using AI? It's just that there are so many things wrong. Fado is a traditional genre in Lisbon, not in all of Portugal. Here in the northern region there was no Fado, we have our own traditional music, just like in other regions. I found the video very cliché, Portugal has 900 years of history and people only know how to talk about the period of maritime navigation.

    Terrible video. Images of places do not match the naration, and the subtitles are not even correct when he says that cod fish is Bacalhau (which in the subtitles is translated to mackerel). Far from accurate, images poorly put together. Example the oldest library in Chiado does not look like that… the images are the ones of a library in Porto (300km away from Chiado/Lisbon). Same as the Algarve coastal village shown… That village is actually off the coast of lisbon, not in the algarve. Poor poor job.
