Fascinating. This past year I discovered that I'm part Portuguese and I find it very interesting. I'd love to visit someday.

Nice video, interesting facts, the picture of the library is the famous library Lelio in Porto, and not the one you mentioned in Lisbon, the pastel de nata not the one you present, but a good effort to present more important facts, beautiful country, friendly people

[maqboolmangrio]

Really useful information I intend to visit very soon

[kellyshannon]

The Douro starts in Spain and runs westerly through Portugal, ending in Porto. It is not the border between Portugal and Spain. The pastel de nata shown in the video is not even close to Pasteis de nata. Fact check

I see a lot of negative comments on this video, shame on them. I am Portuguese and very happy that you took the time and made the effort to put it together for everyone. Our language is difficult and our culture is very complex. There is a lot, not easy to compress into just a short video. But you did a great job showcasing the main focal points.❤❤❤. Muito Obrigada. Beijinhos. 😊💚💛❤️ 🇵🇹🌹

Best video on Portugal I’ve seen so far in my research before taking a group of seniors there in Feb! Thank you!

Portugal melhor lugar do mundo e lindo ❤

Great video! Although, the description of the portuguese custard tart is correct, this video shows a standard custard tart. The portuguese custard tarts are not served with cherries (although there are cherry flavoured portuguese custard tarts) and they're more commonly bite-size!

Lello bookstore is in Porto, not in Lisbon.

[joaogoncalves]

The library that is shown in the video is not Bertrand in Lisbon but the famous Library Lello in Porto where J. K. Rowling writer of Harry Potter, was inspired for the library that she describes in the book and later on in the movie. Pastel de Nata is a small yellow crispy custard pie without any fruits cover. Pronunciation of the Portuguese words and especially when written, should be carefully reviewed before posting the video along other images that don't match with what is appearing in the video. Still, congratulations for the effort and research .

Here are 15 fascinating mistakes in this video:
1:08 - "Its", not "it's".
1:20 - "Estrela", not "Estrella". Estrella is Spanish.
1:24 - Mondego, not Montego.
1:45 - Parque Natural da Ria Formosa, not Doria Formosa.
2:18 - Álvares Cabral, not Alvarez Cabral. Alvarez is Spanish.
2:32 - Neither Pinedagueres nor Pineda gatez, it's Peneda Gerês. In this case the "g" has "j" sound.
2:53 - It's Benagil, not Bengali.
3:42 - The path the Douro river takes is not the border nor it marks the distinction between Portugal and Spain, the river that (partially) does that is the Minho river.
4:24 - What??? I'm a 57 year old portuguese person and I've never heard of a carnival with boats in the Algarve! Plus, those pictures are from boats in Vila Nova de Gaia, which is in the opposite side of the country.
5:02 - Not any rooster, it's the Barcelos rooster.
6:51 - We call it Bacalhau, not Bacalao and certainly not mackerel.
7:50 - Azulejos, not Azuelos and definitely not willows.
8:46 - Sarah Del Rey, a Candia rose???? 🤣
9:12 - What others already said in the comments.
10:16 - Those clips are from the Lello bookstore in Porto, not from the Bertrand bookstore in Lisbon.

If you're going to keep putting subtitles in the videos, get them right instead of letting the Artificial Ignorance do them. Or don't put them at all, they make things even worse than your pronunciation.

nr 37 is not pasteis de nata . Pasteis de nata dont have fruit
nice video . thx

[zzrider]

That's not a "pastel de nata", the cream custard, and that's not "livraria Bertrand", the book store

[LuísFilipedeCastroBragaMartinh]

Sometimes the images are not related to the text. You did show images of a bookshop in Porto while talking about the oldest bookshop in world. She is located in Lisbon.

Actually Lisbon has human presence even before the Fenicians

There were paleologic findings in caves in Lisbon
