Im german living in Portugal and have a girlfriend from angola. I honestly love how a little issue skincolor is here. Its all mixed. People of all colors live basically next to each other, its not the same concept as a neighborhood in the US
I actually live in Portugal now. I've been here for almost 3 years and my time here has been amazing. The Iberian culture of Portuguese people is very colorful but relaxed at the same time. They love their food(probably my best best sea food experience), football and just blase vibe & atmosphere in general. Portugese folks are one of the most chilliest people to hang out with and oh boy.. they'll make you laugh, drink & sing. Beaches are outstanding, historical sites are all over the country and speaking somewhat as a regular tourist myself, you'll just generally have an awesome time visiting. Highly recommended if you ever decide to visit 👍
Sounds like a good vibe! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for your beautiful words. You're always welcome ❤️🇵🇹
Spain did try to take Portugal and failed massively. You should read about the battle of Aljubarrota
Spain, kalifados from North Africa,France( napoleon)
Well, technically speaking it wasn't Spain (yet).

Europe operates more on ethnicity rather than race (not all the time but generally) so when they say 90-95% Portuguese they are referring to ethnicity not identity.
People of other ethnic groups can be Portuguese as in born and raised, migrated/citizenship. But his visual examples were of what an ethnic Portuguese person might look like.
Much like in China there are large immigrant groups of all races, but if you were going to show the range of Chinese people, you would show people who would people who are Han, hui, etc.
I’ve spent time in Portugal it’s a wonderful place and super welcoming. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it
Am Angolan and Portuguese, I lived in Vila Nova de Gaia/Porto. The food is indeed 👌🏾. Bacalhau is indeed our national dish and there are 1000s of recipes for it. But the easiest is to just boil it and accompany with boiled veg (greens, cabbage, carrots), some boiled eggs, good olive oil and vinegar.
portugal is smaller then spain, spain is like united kingdom, a union of alot of kingdoms, so... they tryed alot of times to take portugal but they failed all the time, and portugal is more older then spain too, but today we are brothers who support each other in everything
Hey guys! Im Portuguese and I currently live in a city called Coimbra. I can assure you that Portugal is a diverse country in terms of culture and that there are lots of people from around the world (specialy from Asia and brazil and Africa). We are a very chill, funny and welcoming people. You should really come to visit Portugal. I recommend coming in July/August/September
about the portuguese and the explanation about the attempts of other countries to invade: "“There is, in the westernmost part of Iberia, a very odd people: they refuse to govern themselves and they refuse to be governed!” The quote is sometimes attributed to “a Roman general” from the 3rd century B.C., sometimes to Julius Caesar."
Many Africans in Portugal with ascentral from Angola, Mozambique, Guiné-bissau, Cabo Verde amd São Tomé.
Hey. You guys need to listen more carefully. The zipline doesn't take an hour. It crosses into another time zone, which makes it an hour ahead. 😎🇨🇦
First, that was not caldo Verde!
Well, most people identify as Portuguese but that doesn't mean they are all white and stuff.
Portugal also was one of the first to abolish slavery.
At this moment Portugal it's a mix of culture, from Africa, Brazil, China, even US.
Oh, and Spain tried to conquer Portugal, at least 3 times, and failed all of them. France also tried.
The best proof of nowadays portuguese good international relationships is the fact that our passport is the 3rd most powerful in the world (along with others). It enables us to travel all around the world except for 3 nations. It`s a very valuable asset.
The thing with the friendzone is: we, as portuguese, really try to be in good terms with everybody, as we for the most part do are close friends with almost every nation on the world. The thing is. Every country in the world know 2 things about us. When we are friends, we really are friends, but if you act as our enemy... You never want to go to war with Portugal, some tried, and the result was always the same, you don't just lose, you are humiliated. We never lost a war in our history. Never. We quit one, but never lost a war in our history. We never had many wars, because every nation know this, you lose in a war with us. It doesn't matter the size of your army, we just don't lose.
Our army is so well trained, and as been for so many centuries, that at the time they gave us another word for soldiers: comandos. Even today, all over the world, elite soldiers are trained to be close to what a portuguese soldier is. A elite soldier.
And elite soldiers in Portugal are trained to, if needed, they can beat armies alone. Some have done it. The trainning of our army is just pure insanity, no one can beat them.
Portugal went out and settled to where there was no land owner, only tribals to which made alliances to protect them from their enemies, there was no kingdom nor a nation where Portugal settled, so at that time who discovered the land could claim it, the only exceptions was macau and goa which were given to Portugal by china and the sultanate in india.
There were big waves of imigration a few decades ago into Portugal from some African colonies (in the 60s or so), which means there's multiple generations (mine and younger, I'm in my 30s) that were born here and are black people. I guess that's what the narrator meant when he said "90% of the population identifies as portuguese". he should've been more accurate in the photos he shared, though, I guess, because that includes all colors of people who have come here as children / were born here.
22:03 I do love Spain and the Spanish, but if they would ever be such bad neighbors to the point of trying to conquer our small side of the world!... i would fight them until i died! Nuestros Hermanos son Hermanos por una razón! Respecto es la moneda!
Amor com amor se paga! 😅
OMG, go we are every were, I'm Portuguese black
Go and eat a lot of fish and seafood. I lived all over the world snd we have the best seafood
You're not Portuguese Black! You're just Portuguese! Like Eusébio, Mário Coluna, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonçalo Ramos, Bernardo, Danilo, Renato Sanches or Rafael Leão!
OneLove ❤🇯🇵🇨🇳🇮🇳🇲🇿🇦🇴🇬🇼🇸🇹🇨🇻🇲🇦🇵🇹🇧🇷
WHen he says that 90% are Portuguese, you must take in mind that Mozambique, Angola, etc were "Portugal" and because of that there a mix of culture, race, colour, etc.
The Anglo-Portuguese Treaty was signed on 16 June 1373, it established a treaty of "perpetual friendships, unions [and] alliances" between the two seafaring states. The 650th anniversary of the treaty was officially commemorated by the governments of both nations on 16 June 2023, and in acknowledgement that this represents "the world's longest diplomatic alliance". It was reinforced throughout history, including in 1386, 1643, 1654, 1660, 1661, 1703, 1815 and 20 century, what can create some confusion about how old it is. 😊 Just another input: the Portuguese don't love the French 😂 but the Spanish are "nuestros hermanos".
Spain [former Castle] is like a bully brother to Portugal, try many times to take over Portugal and fail. Portugal also use diplomacy and avoid war.
I think you'll find many black portuguese here in Portugal. I'm not sure they will identify themselves as africans just because of their skin colour, that's an EUA, racial and cultural problem.
They dind't because we fight for our contry. They try many times, but....we are PORTUGUESES!!
My dear, we humiliate the Spanish people many times through history. Aljubarrota battle was one of them where our army of 6500 men defeat the 31000 from Spain at the time, to the point that even today the Spanish people skip the battle in their schools, so yeah they don't want to mess with us.
We had a Saint on our side
The best example of great military planning, taking advantage of the terrain to show them our "spartan side".
Hmm the spanish have tried a bunch of times to take portugal, with giant armies and stuff, but we always sent them home, and one of the battles we pretty much just sent an angry old bread making lady with a bread shovel to deal with their army :D true story
28:00 as Americans it's much easier to just flight directly to Lisbon. The Lisbon metro Area is Big, so within that region you'd see a lot of stuff.
As portuguese I'd say Portugal is one of the most diverse countries within in terms of geography and small regional cultural quirks. Spending a week in Lisbon and spending a week in Porto although similar it'd feel like visiting different countries. Each region (North, Center, Lisbon Tejo Valley, Alentejo, Algarve, Açores and Madeira) although small in size have even smaller subregions that are very distinct and worth visiting. For real I can visit distant different countries inside my own (even though counting to "visit Australia" cause of the eucalyptus is not such a good thing, sice the eucalyptus is an invasive species).
As a Portuguese American let me kick it to you the easiest way you’ll understand Portugal always punched above their weight class many people tried them and got their behind kicked or they came back and said let’s try that again they started the slave trade in Europe and were also the first to abolish the slave trade they were the first to have schools of navigation they taught sailing by the stars to much of the world many food influences around the world now a days some of the friendliest people very proud of their history in the country great food much to see great beaches nice wines and beer at cheep prices you’ll have a great time I learned about racism in America because I never saw it there one of the less expensive countries in Europe you’ll love it
I'm Portuguese, the African people he have in Portugal they came from, Angola, Mozambique
I think that is useful to know that portuguese like most europeans dont see ethnicity the same way as americans do. So when they say that 95% identifies as portuguese it means not that they considered themselves white, but portuguese nationals. For us, race, does not identify you, so a portuguese with chinese fathers or black fathers will born in Lisbon will, 90 to 95% of the time will anwser you that he or she is portuguese first and foremost. In the subject of race, the majority of portuguese is mixed race in various degrees over the centuries. I for instance, have jewish, irish and african ancestors. What am i. Proud portuguese.
Portugal is one of the top 10 safe countries in the world.
Im from Portugal, ihope you guys come one day and learn more about this great culture, people here is friendly and they all speak english so you wont have any problems
10:31 there's a lot of sea food in Portugal, but there's also a lot of meat. The meat tough, is very heavy for foreigners.
In general food in Portugal is "heavy". Within the main course there's accompaniment and main thing. Sometimes multiple accompaniments for meat or fish.... hence the "heavyness". And A LOT of different spices. In the renaissance they really wanted to get to India for the spices.
Still, it's mediterranean cousine without the Mediterranean sea, with an Atlântic touch, with a lot of Olive Oil and wine, onion, garlic and tomato on stuff.
Plus Rice.
Hi, i don't know how much of Portuguese history you have researched and learned but let me take any doubts you could have. Yes, we we're the first to buy slaves from African kingdoms and brought them to america (Brazil). We started the Atlantic slave trade. We also where one of the first to abolish slavery after the UK. So not everything is bad. Our country was created through battle, the same as the Spanish kingdoms where. But we managed to get our independence from one of the Spanish kingdoms early on the reconquista age and where the first nation in the Iberian peninsula to have our borders consolidated. Now, being in a constant (re)conquering campaign that lasted some centuries, you can imagine that when there was no more land to conquer, water was the only choice, and there is plenty of it. We're the first to start exploring the west coast of Africa when Spain wasn't even formed yet and the kingdom of Granada was still a thing. To many people died in the sea during those times, technologies where lacking, medicine was none existent, between a third and half of the sailors died. Along the coast of the newly discovered places we established trade posts with the natives and had mutual beneficial relations. The mission of Prince Henry the navigator was to find a way to get to India so we could trade spices directly with them and circumvent the Ottoman empire as the middle man. And we manage that. Expedition by expedition, decades on the high seas, inventions and science and technologies, little by little we got further and managed not only to get to India but to china, the Philippines and even Japan. You can say we're the ones who created Globalism. By the way, Colombo was a failed explorer and is the most knowable one. Vasco da Gama was the one to get to India and Colombo got to the Caribbean. As a colonization we mostly only colonized Brazil, only much later on Angola and Moçambique where we only maintained trading ports. In Brazil we made alliances with the american tribes. There where many tribes a lot of them peaceful and others nomadic cannibalistic. As you can imagine we already had muskets and other fire arms and they only had bows and spears. The cannibalistic ones where decimated by a joint force of the portuguese and it's new native allies. Basically it was given Portuguese citizenship to the natives, so if a native men or woman married a portuguese they became portuguese also. That is not much talked about today but if you compare to other Nations it was a much better system. We didn't conquer them, we married the natives. There is a saying that God created Man, but the Portuguese created the Mixed race. And im tired of righting, can't make all of the history fit in here. You guys should definitely research some portuguese history, it's better than fiction.
God bless you and i wish you the best.

'Spain' tried they couldn't and lost the Battle of Aljubarrota
Thanks! Portugal is the oldest Country in Europe since 1143. 880yo this year. And it's multiethnic and multicultural since its birth.
The Portuguese Kingdom was born out of the guts of the Ummayad occupation of Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) by what we called the "Muslim Moors" (Ummayad Caliphate, Nizari, Almoravids, Almohads, Nasrids, etc a.k.a. Arabs and Amazighs ("Berbers") from 8th to 15th Century. When the Kingdom was born integrated Iberians, Visigoths, Sephardic Jews and a lot of "Moors" that converted to Christianity and embraced the new Kingdom/Religion.
The Reconquista weren't battles between races but between different Kingdoms and Religions.
The Portuguese Kingdom defeated the "Muslim Moors" much sooner than the Spanish Kingdom did and so we started the "Age of Discovery" around 1420 after conquering Ceuta in 1415.
Millions of Portuguese Citizens have some type of ancestry in ex-Portuguese Colonies/States/Territories. Even if it's just their grandparents or just one of the parents/grandparents
For example our Prime Minister for the last 10 years, António Costa, is born and raised in Portugal but his family is from Goa-India. Portuguese territory since the early 1500's till the 20th Century. My father is Mozambican-Portuguese like Eusébio (Mozambican-Portuguese National Hero burried in the Portuguese National Pantheon. My mom's family is originally Moorish-Portuguese from Algarve (South Portugal). Millions of us have ancestors in ex-Portuguese Colonies/States/Territories like Nagazaki-Japan, Macau-China, Goa-India, Timor-Indonesia, Malacca-Malasya, Mozambique, Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, São Tomé and Brasil
Best Regards from Portugal!

I am Portuguese and you are welcome to visit Portugal. I live in the north of Portugal, where that tide pool is.
Go in June is party time in Portugal
Actually for centuries spain tried to conquer Portugal but got their ass kicked REALLY BAD.
Its not zipline for an hour, spain have another time zone
Portuguese population in 1400: ONE million people. 🙂
You don't need a passport to go to Spain or any other EU country, so you can zipline at will! You should probably not let your ID fall from the pocket tho, as that is mandatory to have on you at all times.
13:58 Like everywhere else, unfortunatelly there's intollerance between people of different ethnic groups or skin colour. But specially in the Lisbon metropolitan Area there's a big black population, mostly from or already 2nd 3rd 4th etc generation from old colonies lie Angola, Moçambique, Guiné-Bissau, Cabo Verde, São Tomé, and also Brasil.
It's a very safe country, but like most places, there are tricky places - or... actually stigmatized places, now that there are known neigbourhoods famous for crime or poverty. - To be honest downtown Lisbon is a bit dangerous for pickpocketing robberies.
In other northern cities, like Porto and Braga I believe there's a bit more of integration going on now. Because they were not usually "black". I think people are much more welcoming, although it can happen that can be a bit stranger.
Yeahhh atlantic slave trade is not something we talk alot for obvious reasons. To even things just tiny tiny tiny bit we were the first country to abolish slavery
Really? I thought Britain was first.
@@richlisola1 YES Britain had been battling alone for almost 100 yrs to end slavery BEFORE anyone else joined in Please look up Thomas Sowell for REAL facts before commentating
The British were the first country abolish the international slave trade. However, slavery never existed in the country itself. If you came to to U.K. with your slave they were automatically free
Antes em Espanha eram reinos e não Espanha.
Alot african portuguese from angola, mocabique, guine, cabo verde

Porague ? Really Hawaiians came up with that word back in 1800s because they could not pronounce Portuguese but today with computers in all the internet information available there's no reason for you to be calling Portuguese porague that's offensive
Portugal did the most genocide and worst slavery in the world
Angola didn't even get independence until the 1980s - Casto from Cuba and Mandela and half of Africa fought in the Angolan wars against Portugal who still treated them like shit
@Correia so Portuguese didn't do what I said... Or you run out any thing to actually say.
Angola gained independency in the 70s
