		Portugal a brief history of the Country ^Votes:0 www.discoverportugal2day.com A Brief History of Portugal P ortugal emerged as a nation state in the early 12 th century, and ranks as one of the world's longest established countries.

		Portugal travel general information about travel in Portugal ^Votes:0 www.discoverportugal2day.com General Information This page contains some general information that will acquaint you with travel in Portugal. T he first time that I visited Portugal was while serving in the U.S. Navy. I'll give you some hints as to the year that visit took place: NazarÉ, really, was a small fishing village, the "Carros Electricos" ran on the Rua Augusta ( see photo below ) and AntÓnio de Oliveira Salazar was the Prime Minister . Carros Electricos on the Rua Augusta I was impressed by something. Because I felt that someday, I would return. On that visit I saw some of Lisbon, took the bus trip to FÁtima and saw NazarÉ when it really was a small fishing village. What I remembered most was the friendliness and warmth of the people.
