Description

Located on one side of the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal has long been a land of explorers and fishers. Henry the Navigator founded his famous navigation school there in the 1400s, and Portuguese sailors soon became the best in the world. Portugal’s colonies once stretched around the globe, but today only two remain under Portuguese control. This book introduces readers to Portugal’s farming, fishing, pottery, festivals, and many other traditions. From Romans to Moors and from Salazar to a republican government, readers may feel that they too are intrepid explorers as they experience Portugal through primary sources.
