Portugal is a fascinating Southern European country that’s located on the west of Spain in the Iberian Peninsula. This country is well known for its heart throbbing art, inspiring displays, exotic ingredients, and tanned leather. Due to its geographic location, diverse groups of people have passed through, settled, or invaded the country throughout its long history. The Romans, Carthaginians, Celts, Visigoths, and Moors have all left their mark in Portugal. The result of this is reflected in the country’s culture and architecture. There are many stunning landmarks and castles that adorn the Portuguese countryside, which remind one of a bygone era. The best part is that many of these buildings are well-maintained and most of the travelers visit here every year. It’s always fun walking through the cobbled pathways and stairways that were once trodden by royal members and fearsome warriors.
