Portugal is a country situated in the southwest of Europe with approximately 10 million people.

The weather is usually warm although it can get quite cold in the nothern regions - especially if you consider that in Portugal houses don't have central heating systems. Portuguese people usually are nice, calm and frequently late ;)
