    A few tidbits:
    - In 2012, Portugal passed a bill that allows citizens from Olivença to apply for Portuguese nationality. So far, almost 1000 people from Olivença have been granted Portuguese citizenship and some even voted in Portugal's latest elections.
    - The surfer of the world's biggest name is Hawaiian-native Garret McNamara. He's been living on that zone ever since and his daughter was born in Portugal.
    - Mirandês (Mirandese) was recognized as an official language in 1999 and it has been described as sounding in-between Galician and Portuguese. It comes from Miranda do Douro, one of the two municipalities where it's spoken.

There are moves to move Galicia to the same time zone as Portugal and the UK because it's believed it will make the country more productive and allow a more family friendly work schedule.

    The Portuguese (all generations) appreciates Portuguese pop and tradional music like Fado.
    Portugal was invaded by Napolean by refusing to blockade the British (by the 18th century the Portuguese Empire defense was very reliant on the British) . The British were actively envolved in the Napoleonic Wars in Portugal but in the past namely in the restoration of independence when Portugal and Spain were under the same crown (the Iberian Union), the British were also involved in the restoration of the independence.
    We get along just fine with Spain but we had multiple wars, invasions and scars from the past. The portrait of Spain being Portugal BFF widely spread in the video is not entirely true.
    When Napolean invaded Portugal (not that long ago), it was assisted by Spain that had territorial aspirations. The Spanish invaded the south and anexed the region of Olivença that never gave back although it was commited to do so. The Portuguese living in that area were most of them forced to leave and 100 years later Franco dictator forbidden the Portuguese language to be spoken in Olivença as he did in Catalunha and Basque country with Catalan and Basque languages.
    Later when the Dictatorship regime was overthroned in Portugal (1974) the Spanish had plans to invade Portugal with the pretex of fearing a communist regime taking over the country. That was impossible to happen in the Western Europe although Spain pushed the US Government to politically support the invasion. Documents from embassies were released and this is now a fact. The invasion in 1975/1976 was very close to happen.
    More recently we have disputes in the EEZ zones around Madeira Islands and problems with the water supply, with the Tagus river being artificially redirected to cross the Andalusia (south Spain) leaving the Portuguese regions dry.
    Despite all, it´s safe to say we have a good understanding and we get along fine but i think i speak for all Portuguese - there´s a feeling of "distrust trust" that is always present in our soul about Spain from birth.
    We have a saying here in Portugal: "De Espanha, nem bom vento, nem bom casamento" which means: "From Spain, neither good wind, neither good marriage" that sums it all.
    It the video it shows we don´t like to be confused with Spain or having people speaking Spanish to us. What kind of BFF does that? :)
    There are exceptions: Galicia and Portugal are indeed BFF´s. We understand each other perfectly and the culture is very similar.

    correction, the Iberian Union wasnt one nation, it was TWO independent Kingdoms under ONE King who was half portuguese half spanish, they were united ONLY by the Monarch Dynasty, it was a Dynastic Union despite each remained independent, the bad thing from sharing the same King was that they started to share the same enemies and that didnt went well, it lasted only 60 years.

      Different kingdoms fro sure. Not sure about one nation though, they were all Spanairds at the time, and up till the late 18th century Portuguese would identify as Spanish. Portugal was jsut a kingdom, a political entity, like Castile, or Aragon, or León had been before, but the nation remain Spain till the late 18th century. Sure there was a Portuguese identity, as there was a Castilian, or Navarres one, but they all saw themselves as memeber of a a common ethnic group/nation till chovnisim and romantic nationalism became a thing int he late 18th century.

      @@goodaimshield1115 you are completely wrong, the Portuguese never identified as Spanish as they had a Empire, very different from Navarre or other Iberian Kingdoms, and they werent never spaniards, Portugal is even older than Spain, you need to read history first to know about this subject, the King of Spain the first of the Philips had to agree to certain conditions to be King of Portugal (he even changed his named as Philip I of Portugal, he was Philip II of Spain - so this means one monarch two kingdoms), those conditions were:
      - Respect the liberties, privileges, uses and customs of the Portuguese monarchy, maintaining Portugal full sovereignty over its Kingdom and Empire;
      -Always gather Cortes in Portugal and keep all Portuguese laws;
      - The positions of viceroy or governor of Portugal were to be held by Portuguese or members of the royal family;
      - The positions foreseen for the Court and general administration of the Kingdom would always be filled by Portuguese;
      - The Portuguese could also hold public functions in Castile;
      - Commerce from India and Guinea could only be done by the Portuguese;
      - Titles of cities and towns could not be granted except to the Portuguese;
      - The language in official documents and acts would continue to be only Portuguese;
      - Every year, two hundred new houses would be created (ordained that were handed over to the nobles from the age of twelve) and the Queen should always have Portuguese noble ladies as ladies;
      - The crown prince, D. Diogo, would be kept and educated in Portugal;
      - The Castilian garrisons would be withdrawn and the royal arms of Portugal would be preserved in the current currency;
      Thus, the interests of the upper classes would be safeguarded and Portugal would be governed in the form of a Personal Union, preserving its institutions and particularities, under the aegis of a single king. There was no administrative homogeneity. He stayed in Golegã, at Quinta da Cardiga.

    A few thoughts:
    -I'm Portuguese and I just don't care about the Olivença thing (I think most people don't) and I actually prefer the Spanish keep it, because it would give Portugal a funny shape...lol
    -Portugal is Christian, the few Muslims we have here are outsiders.
    -We rarely/never use the term "meseta" to refer to Portuguese regions.
    -The huge wave was in Nazaré, Leiria district.
    -The eucalyptus tree is not native to Portugal, and it's contributing to droughts in the country, because it soaks up so much water from the ground around it. There have been laws in order to reduce the number of eucalyptus that are planted and they should be much stricter, in my opinion.
    -The Portuguese, as a people, living in Portugal, are kind of a dying breed right now.
    I find it funny the way he seemed to think that being blond or brunette drastically changes your ethnicity... Dude, we're all native European here. Some people are blond (a minority), most are brunettes. Some people are paler, others tend to tan more easily, it doesn't mean they're a different race lol
    But I would say the native Portuguese are, in no way, 90% of the population. Our demography is changing very drastically.
    -The majority of the Portuguese, in the entire country (not just the North), are of what we call Celtiberian ancestry.
    Note, that Iberian has different meanings, depending on the context:
    1. Nowadays, it means Portuguese and Spanish people, of the whole peninsula.
    2. The original meaning was applied to a group of tribes that lived in the Spanish mediterranean coast, and not in Portugal at all.
    3. We usually refer to all of the pre-Celtic tribes as Iberian, in a general sense.
    (see this map, to get a better idea upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Greek_and_Phoenician_Colonies_in_The_Iberian_Peninsula.png )
    So, when we say most of us are of Celtiberian ancestry, that means Celtic + some other groups of people who lived here before the arrival of the Celts.
    Not much is known about who the Iberians (using the 3rd definition of the term) were.
    -The great majority of the native Portuguese are of Celtiberian descent, some will have some Roman ancestry and others will have some Suebi/Visigothic ancestry. Very few are of Moorish ancestry, contrary to popular misconceptions.
    -The Vikings were barely even here, it doesn't make sense to mention them. There's like, 1 or 2 people who would be like 5% Viking or something lol
    -Also, it doesn't make any sense to say "Germanic, Visigoth, Viking" since the 3 groups are all Germanic. Saying Germanic didn't make sense, that's a broader term, and not the name of a tribe. And the Suebi were not even mentioned.
    -A great deal of what it means to be Portuguese is to NOT be Moorish... Our identity was formed in direct opposition of them. Literally, we started out as a smaller kingdom and what defined our borders was the Christian territory versus the territory occupied by the Moors. As we expelled them further south, the lands inhabited by the Christians again would belong to Portugal and we expanded further and further south, until the land was entirely ours, once again. This may sound confusing, so, to have an idea, search for "reconquista time lapse" and repopulation.
    So, Portugal was literally born and exists because it is Christian and not Moorish. That's an intrinsic part of what it means to be Portuguese.
    -The "saudade" thing is exaggerated, usually people say that's something uniquely ours, but it's not quite the case. It's basically a deep sense of longing, or like the German "sehnsucht", and there are equivalents in more languages, too.
    -You're right, most youths don't like Fado music. We don't hate it either, but it's kind of bleh. It is usually mentioned when talking about Portugal because it's a type of music that's uniquely Portuguese, but we have much better things than that.
    Most people don't listen to Fado on a regular basis (both, younger and older people).
    -That's a really weird picture of D. Afonso Henriques (our first king)...
    -Please stop associating us with Brazilians. They're kind of meddling in everything that's ours and that's annoying. Much of what is said about the relations between Portugal and Brazil is highly exaggerated. And they are one of the main groups that's replacing us demographically; our identity is being lost.
    -Ans yes, Spain is our "best friend". We are the same people.
    -We don't read the "d" like a "dj", that's a Brazilian accent. We Portuguese read it like a regular "d" (the same as in English).
    -The shields in the flag are associated with the miracle of the battle of Ourique. It is said that Christ appeared in a vision to D. Afonso Henriques and told him he would be able to defeat the Moors, that the angels would help the Portuguese in achieving victory :)
    I hope you had the patience to read all of that, if so, thank you.

      Uff, como esapñola, no sabes cuanto agradezco que mencionaras lo de que sois (somos) celtíberos y que lo de los "vikingos" es un poco... ridículo. Gracias por el tema de la reconquista. Particularmente España , no solo el reino de España como tal, sino la propia identidad española, se basa precisamente en NO ser musulmán. Literalmente, el único motivo por el que los españoles (y portugueses) existimos actualmente, nuestra identidad, sociedad, cultura, etc, es porque unos pocos cristianos en el norte no olvidaron el Reino Godo de Toledo y quisieron recuperar y restaurar esa "España perdida". Nosotros somos herederos, existimos, gracias a esos cristianos del norte, SOMOS esos cristianos del norte. Me revuelve las tripas cuando la gente dice que España (y creo que en España es más común que en Portugal) tiene parte de identidad mora/musulmana. ¿Cómo? El ÚNICO motivo por el que existe España y la identidad española es que NO somos musulmanes. Por supuesto puede haber musulmanes españoles, pero la identidad española se basa principalmente en el cristianismo, y es, literalmente, el único motivo de nuestra existencia. A veces siento como que quieren cambiar nuestra identidad, o forzarnos a identificarnos con algo que no somos.

    Great reaction, Portuguese person here (well 1/4 ). Fatima was indeed (re)named - the place - during the muslim times and by the time Catholics saw Our Lady in 1917 the name was already ..a thousand years old so why bother change it right? Since then (fun fact) Fatima became a popular name for daughters among devout Catholic families almost always combined with Mary (Maria). Funny how things go. We (well my grandpa did) eat cuttlefish indeed. But not often. I am not a native speaker of Portuguese but it's way easier to learn (personally) than French. Particularly Brazilian Portuguese or so I'm told. Oh and young Portuguese people's favorite music genres (based on personal experience and charts) are anything not in Portuguese, followed closely by Fado and Portuguese HipHop, Rap and Funk with lots of Heavy metal thrown in.

    My friend I suggest you review some notions. We were the first westerners to reach Japan, period. And actually to various drgrees and intensity have been present , established fortresses or hold posessions in at least present day 53 different nations. Places like Sri Lanka, Qatar, Koweit, Iran, Malaysia, Indoeanesia, Thailand (where a Portuguese got himself chrowned in the Kingdom of Pegu), Uruguay and some colonies lasted for reasonable periods such as 150 years. Also we could take credit for pretty much being the first europeans to reach Australia and we were already in the waters of Newfoundland and Labrador (in honnor of Pedro Labrador) in Canada by the 1475's.
    Also funfact Queen Catherine of Braganza brought alont tea, rice pudding, orange marmelade, and most importantly Mumbai and Tangiers in her marriage dowry to Charles II of England.
    In fact, there are at least 3 distinguished periods of the PE that shifted according to conditions. Not one nation under Iberian Union as both realms kept theirn own King, (though being the same dude as in England and Scotland) currency, set of laws ( We even had a sort civil code for Portugal aclled the "Ordenações Filipanas" set by Philip) , appointed national officials in the mainland and Empire and tribunals, , such was the extent of the concessions of philipe (II of Spain (Castille) and I of Portugal. Moreover, our explorer streak continued throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries being for instance the first europeans to reach Tibet...
    Also, please try not to look so dismissive about things you take for granted and actually are not. It's kind of ...not cool.
    I would also like to contradict the fact of "old palls with Spain" stuff". History disprooves it. In our shared 8 centuries, and apart from 20th century (Where both republics had plans to annex us in some kind of federation), not one century was ever isempt of a Portuguese-castilian/spanish military confrontation in Europe or elsewhere. Even Franco (in the 20th century, so) designed a plan to invade Portugal and tried to sell it to Hitler and he had the same plan as part of his academic thesis in the military academy...

    The portuguese is a very hard language in terms of pronounciation because of the reduced and nasal vowels, among other things. The "ã" is like an "a" with your nose completely closed. 😂

    Actually the boat that "started it all" is called Caravela and it actually looks quite small and fragile. It's basically a nut shell with some fancy triangular sail. It was really impressive where the portuguese reached in those things, really!

    "Joao", no accent, would essentially sound as it is written;
    "João", accented, would sound as "Joaoun", anyway phonetics: [Ʒwɐ̃w̃] or pop the name into Google Translate and click the speaker icon.
    As for the São Paulo city being "San Paulo", that's a totally different thing; "São" is an archaic Portuguese word the means saint (Spanish is "San"), not sure if that's why some people reduce it to a Spanish-like name and just because not having to deal with the accent is easier.

It didn't ONLY destroyed Lisbon but a lot of villages from north to south, this is why we have a lot of new village of this and of that ex: New village of Gaia, New village of 1000 founts ( Vila Nova de Gaia ou vila nova de mil fontes), The original villages were destroyed and The few sorvivers built their New villages near of the originals.

    Yes, is true that we did trade slavery. If you can get some good studies about slavery in the worl you will see that many years before europeans, African peoples trade and subject slaves between them selves and trade them to other people. I think the Reign of Portugal was the first one to abolish slavery.
    You read very well those Portuguese words. Only Brasilian speakers read letter "d" as if it as a "j" connected to it. Exemple: Portuguese - "DIRECTO"; Brasilian - "D"J"IRECTO". They don't write it whith a "j" but they read it as if it was there.
    Also in Portugal the comunist governement is trying to destroy our own language.
    I didn't like those "corrections" they send to the narrator. Some corrections can even be right but the guy that send those corrections sound a litle arrogant.
    Royal Famaly of Portugal exists today however they are not in function because of the abolition of the monarchy and many Portuguese apreciate them very much.

      Your statement is absolutely correct. Fatima has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, aside from some obscure name reference to a Muslim daughter over a thousand years ago. Algarve and everything Al- in Portugal is also probably derived of the Arabic language at the time of Moorish occupation, but none of it has anything to do with Islam. My first name is of Hebrew origin but I'm not a Jew, my surname is of Germanic origin but I'm not a German... Fatima is simply, today, the name of a town in Portugal. And Our Lady of Fatima refers to the religious appearance of the blessed Mary to the three little Shepard children, a phenomenon regarded and recorded as a miracle in the Catholic church. Fatima is a Roman Catholic place of worship, in a once predominantly Roman Catholic country, with a essentially Catholic culture.
