Destination Info
Portugal and Spain may be direct neighbors, but Portuguese culture and people differ in some aspects from their Spanish neighbors. Portuguese are generally seen as more reserved and comparisons to Spain are not necessarily heard gladly. They maintain their own identity and are proud of their Portuguese culture.
The Portuguese are considered to be disciplined and modest people. They often show a certain reserve and are rather introverted, which is also reflected in their communication style. They value politeness, respect and appropriate etiquette in their dealings with one another.
