Portugal is one of the oldest nations in Europe having established its continental frontier as it is set today on 1297. Portugal has been an independent kingdom since 1143 When D. Afonso Henriques rebelled against his mother to wrestle the Condado Portucalense away from the Kingdom of Leon.
Portugal is located on the west side of the Iberian Peninsula, ideally positioned between Spain and the Atlantic ocean. Its geographic location along the Atlantic coastline is the reason why Portugal quickly became an ocean-bound country setting the stage for centuries of sea adventure and discoveries.
Climate
Portugal is defined by the sea. Its history has been shaped by its proximity to the ocean and its position as the westernmost European nation.
So it is today with its weather. A country of sublime climatic conditions, its temperatures are moderated by the Atlantic Ocean, never too cold and never too hot. Always just right, with a nice ocean breeze.
Currency
Portugal is a country located in south Western Europe on the Iberian Peninsula and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The official Portugal Currency, which was once Escudo, has been totally replaced by Euro since 2002. Euro is the official currency of 13 European Union countries since it had been introduced and circulated in 1st January 2002.
