About this eBook
Portugal is a country located in the southwestern region of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. It is bordered by Spain to the north and east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south. Portugal has a rich history dating back to the Roman Empire and has since seen influences from various civilizations including the Visigoths, Moors, and Celts. It is known for its stunning beaches, historic castles and cities, and its famous wine production, most notably port wine. The Portuguese language, which is spoken by over 230 million people worldwide, is the official language of Portugal. The population of Portugal is approximately 10 million people, with the majority living in urban areas such as Lisbon, Porto, and Braga. Portugal is a member of the European Union and has a diversified economy, with a strong focus on tourism, manufacturing, and service sectors. The country has a high standard of living, ranking as the 43rd most livable country in the world. Its cultural heritage and natural beauty attract millions of visitors every year, making tourism a significant contributor to the economy. Portugal has also been recognized for its commitment to renewable energy, with over half of its energy coming from sustainable sources. The country's past contributions to sea exploration and trade have also left a lasting impact on global history, with the Portuguese Empire once spanning across multiple continents.
