      Portugal is a country rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. Here are some key aspects it is known for:
      1. Fado Music: A traditional form of music characterized by melancholic tunes and lyrics about love, loss, and nostalgia. It is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
      2. Port Wine: One of Portugal's most famous exports, originating from the Douro Valley. Port wine is a sweet fortified wine, often enjoyed as a dessert wine.
      3. Azulejos (Tiles): The beautiful and intricate ceramic tiles that adorn buildings across Portugal. These tiles often depict historical, religious, and cultural scenes.
      4. Historic Explorers: During the Age of Exploration, Portuguese explorers like Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, and Prince Henry the Navigator played a crucial role in charting new territories.
      5. Beautiful Beaches & Surfing: Portugal has stunning coastlines, especially in the Algarve region, making it a popular destination for beachgoers and surfers alike. Nazaré is also famous for some of the biggest waves in the world.
      6. Pastéis de Nata: These iconic custard tarts are a beloved pastry, originating from Lisbon's Belém area.
      7. UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Portugal has numerous UNESCO-listed sites, including the Tower of Belém, Jerónimos Monastery, and the historic centers of Porto and Évora.
      8. Architecture & Historical Sites: Portugal boasts many historical and architectural wonders, such as the Pena Palace in Sintra, the medieval town of Óbidos, and the Roman Temple of Évora.
      9. Cork Production: Portugal is the largest producer of cork in the world, with vast cork oak forests. Cork is used for wine stoppers

    I’m an American living permanently in Portugal and it is really is a place that has a reputation problem. Not a negative one, but a lack of one. The wine, cheese, and olive oil all can hold their own against Italy and France, but the Portuguese are not as good at self promotion. The olive oil sells for 6 euros a litre while in Italy it sells for 58 euros. Portuguese cuisine is simple using fresh traditional ingredients and techniques. Pastel de nata, bacalhau, cozinhado stew, roasted veal, fresh roasted fish, roasted sardines, suckling pig, chanfana goat or mutton stew…it’s difficult to create unique images around those foods. The weather is spectacular. Clean air and water, low crime rates, very safe country except when driving with maniac drivers on the roads. Also, it seems that the culture has a bit an insecurity complex as remnant of the dictatorship years that it needs to get over.

      Yeap, the dictatorship screwed us over and the fact that when with some money we like to flash it by buying second or third hand BMWs from Germany.
      Our stuff is very good, specially Alentejo wine and I am saying this while being from the Douro Valley myself. Cheese from Beira Alta (a region), smoked meats like ham, which is as good if not better than the spanish dry crap they sell, but the spanish are good selling it.
      I like eating and drinking products from other countries, if these are following traditions, if it is just commercial crap then I avoid it like the plague. And in Portugal we have a lot of traditional products, very good ones.

      I know that you mean well and I'm happy that you feel affection for this country, but I don't think that lack of reputation is much of a problem. Most of us don't particularly want to be visited or care that foreigners think highly of us. Excessive focus on tourism has, as far as I can tell, hurt our economy or at least contributed to the destruction and decharacterization of our cities.

    1. Pastel de Belem
    2. The very first Europeans to reach Africa, the Americas, India, China and Japan.
    3. The second European state to be created.
    4. Port wine
    5. The magnificent beautiful shore and landscape of the Douro River
    6. Azulejos
    7. Bacalhau
    8. An infinite number of deserts made out of eggs
    9. The perfectly sounding and deep poetry of Fernando Pessoa
    10. The unique and moving music of Fado
    11. The world's biggest ocean waves visible in Nazare
    12. Grilled sardines
    13. The incredible stories of Jose Saramago
    14. Catholic churches covered in azulejos
    15. The National Palace of Pena
    16. The Monastery of the Jeronimos
    17. The Fort of Belem
    18. The Hills of Serra da Estrela

    We the Portuguese have this tradition of bashing ourselves but in our core we are proud people.
    We like to talk about the conquests of the past (even though we tend to leave out the dark side of it) and we do have some rich history, but even though we might not have a single specific topic that we can be easily identified with like food in Italy, the ancient history of Greece, the beautiful scenery of Iceland we have a lot of things that can make a visit worthwhile. We are probably one of the safest if not the safest country in Europe, we have some the best hospitality in Europe as well, a beautiful coastline and beaches, a mild weather all year round some of the some stunning nature in the world if you visit the Azores (probably our favorite spot in all of Portugal, Flores island) and the Madeira islands.
    And we are everywhere, a third of our population lives all around the world, we are travelers by nature, everywhere we travel no matter how far there's always a Portuguese and we are not that many!

    Conan has problem to solve because there is nonportuguese stereotype, but plenty of them. The best part is that Portugal is a 700km long country (plus the islands), with such a diferent culture from each region. For instance, an Oporto person as a completely diferent stereotype from another from Lisbon, an another from Alentejo, an the ones from Algarve, the ones from Madeira and the ones from Azores. At the same time, all these names regions have diferent kind os food, pastry, traditional cloths, buildings, etc. I don't believe you can such a diverse culture in sucha a tiny country. The surprising thing is that Portugal muat be the European country that had less changes on it's borders in the past 1000 years. Basically, we had all the conditions to have stereotype, but we don't...

    Port Wine is not a British invention, they simply came to Portugal to comercialize what already existed
    «In 1678, a Liverpool wine merchant sent two new representatives to Viana do Castelo, north of Oporto, to learn the wine trade. While on a vacation in the Douro, the two gentlemen visited the Abbot of Lamego, who treated them to a "very agreeable, sweetish and extremely smooth" wine, which had been fortified with a distilled spirit. The two Englishmen were so pleased with the product that they purchased the abbot's entire lot and shipped it home»

    Small fun fact, that most people don't know. Portugal don't have Halloween now. Halloween was born in Portugal, probably 6 thousands years ago. From there Halloween spread to the rest of Europe, eventually reaching Ireland. After Christianity, Halloween was adapted to All Saints Day, but still keept is original form in Ireland. Then when the Irish migrate to America, they take Halloween with them, and it become a American holiday. And american culture eventually give it original form to the rest of the world, including Portugal. It was a full circle, but the original Halloween was born in Portugal, so of course Portugal had it. It always had it, even when was only is adapted form of All Saints Day was pretty close to the original Halloween

And why not, the "imported" sailor that became a Portuguese noble by marriage, in Madeira island... Christophorão Colon (or Columbus, like he is called by the English-speaking world). Also, the last templar redoubt (ever wondered why the crusaders red cross were drawn on the main sails of Portuguese ships?) and also our famous ex-overseas territory, Brazil. Ah, and the famous "black beared looking pirates? It was the standard look of any sailor or captain of the royal fleet at least up until the XVIIth century... Check out the looks of bacthen, there's plenty of paintings covering that. Also, we were the first Europeans that the japanese saw.. imagine the shock. About halloween, it was here before the American version, like "bolinhos e bolinhós" in Coimbra or "pão por deus". A few years ago, kids would wear a white cardboard box on their faces and candles and knock on your door for a coin or sweets. Sometimes wearing also a blank sheet. Then more variety for the costumes arrived with the american halloween, but they still maintain the same song after ringing at your door (either praising if given anything, or cursing you). Also, we were known for building fortresses Ikea style, over the coast of Africa. The stone was extracted, cut and numbered in Portugal, shipped to African factories and then built. What lese, hmm... we used to have a white codfish fishing fleet off the coast of the US and Canada. Ok, jumping to current days. About our temper: we are very welcoming, but if you stay too long, you will start to be treated as a local, which is not always as pleasant :D. We are not very effusive in our victories or our defeats, but after a couple of beers or wine, we get real loose. Also, the most common answer to a "hey, how's it going?" is like a "you know, a daily struggle, but we keep going" (doesn't matter if it's really going bad or if we just hit a jackpot the day before). However, if we're doing ok, first thing you will notice is a brand new car parked outside. Also, if you did something really awesome, with the exception of your mom (and the ladies), you will get a "not bad" or a "you did OK" with a hard tap on your shoulder or back. Usually, we are very calm and try to talk out of any situation or problem. In the past, I've managed to dodge a few muggings that way for example. Except when the mugger is under the influence. There is no way to do it... Oh, we are also very family oriented. Family lunches on sundays are a ritual. Imagine thanksgiving, but every off weekend. We also talk a lot with our hands. Not moving them is like amputating your ability to communicate. About the calm I mentioned before: it's all gone when 1) we're driving 2) we're watching a football game at a bar full of supporters of the other team.

    As a portuguese (and a big fan of Conan), I kinda found this a tad exaggerated - I get that most Americans don't usually visit Europe and the episode was meant to bring clearance. But yes, around the world (outside of the US), Portugal once had an empire that extended to Asia and Africa. We are known, not only for Cristiano Ronaldo, but for Fado, pastéis de nata, our food (Francesinha as a national dish) and sweets. Lisbon is an iconic city and was once the center of commercial trade.

    Naming specific aspects of Portugal is hard. Take food for example.
    Fish is super tasty and there's so many kinds to pickup from.
    The main species are Cod fish in all kinds of preparations, also the same tuna (steak or canned) but then there's sardines and 'carapau' and 'chicharros' (don't know the name for it in english.
    If you go Madeira you also get sword fish as specialty. The Azores has lots of variety on fishes: Boca negra, Bodiao, Cracas, etc.
    Let's talk about meat, northeast of Portugal there's the Barrosã steak, at the center there's Bairrada porc,
    Madeira there's Espetada (meat cubes on the laurel stick), Azores there's the Alcatra.
    There's richness in food everywhere, meaning there's a lot of different and tasty ways to have the same ingredient, depending on what's in the region.
    Pastries are also a huge list.
    Drinks: Ginja from Obidos, Poncha at Madeira, ciders, Port wine, Madeira wine
    Other portuguese specialties like olive oil, biggest cork production, high quality shoe and fabric industry (not so much good work with own brand development but it will change eventually).
    People are generally nice and welcoming.
    The bad is politics and people's inability to know better and follow rules, regulations or laws.
    The portuguese complain all the time about how miserable they are, about the taxes
    And then brag about how fast they drive or how they managed to scam fiscal law.

    Portugal IS NOT A PROVINCE OF SPAIN. A start there (to quote Rihanna).
    The first King, Afonso Henriques, literally beat the crap out of his mother and Castelhanos (pre-Spanish) to have an independent Portugal.
    The Maritime Discoveries - go Portugal! Fado is wonderful. And we must be the only country of the world where there are 100 recipes of bacalhau (salted codfish). And of course, best rotisserie chicken in the planet (frango assado). Not to mention the best pastry of the planet (sorry, Italy).
    One of the best sandwiches in the world is "francesinha", a delicacy from Oporto, and of course, Port wine. Best butter in the whole damn world, as well as olive oil. One of the finest horse breeds in the world.
    The country was one of the first to abolish death penalty. Our Red Carnation Revolution in 1974 did not make casualties. First scientist to isolate HIV/AIDS was a Portuguese lady. First neuroscientist to isolate human emotions in the brain, a Portuguese man. First scientist to create the paper transistor? A Portuguese lady.
