      Portuguese and Spanish military train a lot together (Navy, Army and Air Force - there are for example in the lattest branch mentioned a lot of joint operations with you F-18 and ours F-16). Also, our polices are the most interactive polices in the eu. Many times we go to Spain to learn some tricks of the trade and join combined forces, others are about Spanish policemen in Portugal. I really like this healthy partnership.,

      The EU and NATO already give us plenty of opportunities to interact at all needed levels. But for this to be possible, you'd have to consider we would never accept back monarchy (and even less to become subjects of your king), so you would have to become a republic to allow for our common election of a president and parliament/government.

E isto aconteceu diversos anos a fio... Se não estou em erro, 2011, 2012, 2013...Gostava era de ver um instuto português a fazer o mesmo na Galiza ou na Catalunha só para ver como os gajos (espanhóis) reagiriam. Há também um canal aqui no UA-cam dum chanfrado espanhol que se chama 'Portugal is Spain' onde aparece a península ibérica coberta com a bandeira de Espanha, claro, fui lá, tentei denunciar e só não lhe chamei espanhol, o resto chamei-lhe tudo...

    Despite knowing the fact that it's not going to happen given the history that we share, I, as a Spaniard, see Portugal as the most welcoming and close country in absolute terms, at least for us.

      you Spaniards aren't too bad yourselves, even though I've never been to Spain proper, just driving through, I've always had good experiences with Spanish folk. I think the "Spain bad" "Portugal bad" mentality is more of an older folks thing. Younger people who grew up with the EU and the Internet etc. don't really think like that even though the history books kind of tell us to.

    This seemed like an interesting topic, but then I realised both countries are already in a union.
    The European Union.
    They already share a common currency, have unrestricted trade and people can move across the peninsula without border controls. I would even argue that the EU is on it's way to become a federation. What other reasons to unite could there possibly be?

É diferente culturalmente em vários aspectos, é muito diferente no clima, socialmente e economicamente.

    As an idea, it sounds really
    good, but I think it wouldn’t ever work. We are similar countries, with a similar language and a common history and land (Iberian Peninsula), but we are different. Furthermore, it is obvious that one part will have more influence over the other. Spain is bigger and has a larger population than Portugal, so it wouldn’t be an equal Union. Portugal will always be the “smaller” partner, and not because we, as Spaniards, want Portugal to be that, it’s just due to size and population reasons, and Portugal (obviously) will never let that happen, so for us it will be more a pain than a profitable Union.
    So I think we both prefer to keep our independence, rather than making an experiment that never worked (and which, except for a short historical period of time, none of us wanted either).
    Even when we two had the first Global Empires and, because of that, a possible conflict of interests, we decided to sing Treaties (Tordesillas and Zaragoza) and to literally distribute the world between each other, just to avoid a direct conflict between us both. And, in general, both parties always respected and honored those treaties, while the rest of European Empires were always fighting to diminish their enemy.
    We both could have had try to conquer each other, and instead of that, we always preferred to work together and to cooperate.
    I really love Portugal and as a Spaniard I consider Portuguese people as our brothers, but I think I prefer to share a common house and living in two different rooms, rather than living in the same room together... We need to strengthen ties, we should work together in order to bring closer Iberian culture and heritage all around the world, and we have to start looking to each other more than we are currently doing (I think it was Saramago who said that Spaniards and Portuguese are like Siamese brothers who were born at the same time but who had never looked to each other). I really feel far closer to Portuguese people than to any other European, but, as far as I consider Portugal as a brother, I also think that brothers need to live separately, loving each other and always supporting each other when needed, but each brother needs his own room, which we always be open for each other.
    I think it’s time now to vindicate a unity, but not in form of a common state, but via culture, history, and a common blood. We don’t need to be a single country in order to get closer, we just need to understand that we will always live next door, and that we will always be brothers. Brothers living separately, but brothers at the end of the day.

    Being portuguese, I know that we have the will and the pride of independent. But I see Portugal loosing too much for being independent in a market that is a "non-non". Portugal by itself if not profitable for many companies and it's even seen as a province of Spain, so companies tend to have iberian support from somewhere in Spain for both countries. And it's also not part of Spain, so we loose because of licensing. Some products can't be sent to Portugal because we're not Spain or companies like Amazon treats Portugal as part of Spain for goods, but not for technological things, like Kindle books or even Alexa (I think they just changed Alexa recently).

    Hi.
    I am portuguese and I would support an Iberian Federation, in which Portugal is equal, not with Spain, but with Galicia, Castille ans Léon, Andalusia, Aragon, Catalonia, basically the Spanish subdivisions.
    The capital would probably be Madrid since it's already designed as an independent capital state, and it would have a Semi-presidential system.
