Portugal is a country in southern Europe that borders Spain on the Iberian Peninsula. Many aspects of Portugal’s culture have been influenced by its location on the Atlantic Ocean: salt cod and grilled sardines are national dishes, the Algarve’s beaches are a popular tourist destination, and much of the country’s architecture dates from the 1500s to the 1800s, when Portugal was a powerful maritime empire.
