Here is a video slide show which features Portugal, a country that is the westernmost country of Europe and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east.

One of the best known exports of Portugal perhaps could be said is Ronaldo the soccer player formerly of Manchester United and now playing for Real Madrid.

Portugal is a southwest European destination, often thought of as a poor cousin to its more powerful countries such as France, Germany and Spain. What everyone that knows Portugal agrees is that this is an astonishing tourist hot spot, for people who love the fusion between the traditional and the modern, people who love sun, beach, heat and nature, along with a big portion of history.

What is now lost in history is that five centuries ago, in the age of the Discoveries, Portugal was one of the richest countries in the world, with an empire that extended from South America, all the way to the Far East, passing through Africa.
