Discovering the Culture of Portugal 🇵🇹 (Meeting The Locals)

In this video, I wander through the streets of Porto, Portugal to get inside the mind of the Portuguese. I meet and talk to different people on the streets, and also ask the locals for certain phrases and sayings that are popular in their culture. I visit an old handmade brush shop (the only one in the entire Iberian Peninsula) and watch different artists and musicians paint a beautiful picture of my last days in Portugal.

The Portuguese ARE a special breed. It comes from a long history of working hard, living just as hard, and loving even harder!

"Saudadista" You treat everyone like you've known them all your life and act like it might be the last time you'll see them. Treat everyone like family. Unconditional love, respect, nostalgia, music and food sums up Portuguese people.

2 years late but still applies: We are a country of poets. Poetry it is in our blood from the day we are born until the last day of our lives. Ask to any portuguese citizen. Enjoy and thank you for your kind words about Portugal.

"Nothing is done well when done too fast" 😂. That made me laugh. It will explain why no one is in a rush to do anything in Portugal.

Muito amor para Portugal da Grécia! Saudades desse país maravilhoso e acolhedor!

Sou Brasileiro e quero registrar uma frase afamada pelo Português Fernando Pessoa, que acho que é muito bonita e com significado ambíguo: "Navegar é preciso, viver não é preciso"

Portugal and Spain are unmatched when it comes to quality of life and quality of people. We really live to be happy without anything else in mind. Greetings from Spain.

It's like in a RPG game : you go see people and they start to speak about their lives.

Super simpática a gente do Porto. Sou de Lisboa mas reconheço esse carácter extraordinário dos nortenhos, sobretudo da Invicta.

9:47 Unironically "Preciso de um café" is probably one of the most typical phrases in Portugal 😂

"está um frio do caralho" a lawyer from Porto, sounds about right....love my people!

[TobinPT]

Temos um país tão bonito de norte a sul e ilhas.
Que orgulho em ser português!!!

Yes we are brothers! we feel like home in Portugal. We get well everytime we meet abroad, the same as with our cousins, the mighty italians!

As an Estadounidense I’m glad to see someone from here who speaks so many languages. When I travel a lot of people think of us as uninterested in other cultures and languages. I’m planning on learning portugués, Italian and French. Great videos!

Me, as a portuguese, i think that Portugal is a very good place to visit and its a 9/10 because most of the people are good and its a very beautiful country🇵🇹🔥

Who wouldn't fall in love with the Portuguese? Porto is a lovely place. Actually, after watching your videos, I think Porto is better than Lisbon... I am really grateful to have you Ross...
