Destination Info
Portugal only borders Spain, but the Portuguese can only be compared to the Spanish to a limited extent. Portuguese are considered to be more reserved than their neighbors, and comparisons to Spain are not exactly welcome. Portuguese are generally considered to be very disciplined and modest people. Women are treated with respect for the most part.
