   Extractions: Portugal Portugal's architecture is renowned for its Moorish and surrealist flourishes, culminating in the development during the 16th century of the Manueline style characterised by the extravagant use of twists, turns, spirals and nautical themes for decoration. The nation's best-known musical form is the melancholic fado (songs believed to have originated from the pinings of 16th-century sailors), while traditional folk dancing remains popular in rural towns. The most striking craft is the making of decorative tiles known as azulejos , a technique the Portuguese learnt from the Moors. Portuguese food is cheap, delicious and served in gut-expanding portions. Classic Portuguese meals include sardinhas assadas (charcoal-grilled sardines), (cod fishcakes) and caldo verde (a soup of cabbage and potatoes). Seafood dishes such as linguado grelhado (grilled sole) and (tuna steak) are appetising staples. Meals can be washed down with Portugal's good-quality wines (vinhos) or port - the drink synonymous with Portugal.

   Extractions: Architecture Art baroque Le style baroque prend tout son essor à la fin du XVII e siècle et au cours du XVIII e siècle. Les éléments décoratifs se multiplient et l'architecture évolue ensuite vers le rococo. C'est la grande époque de la talha dourada, ces bois dorés qui recouvrent l'intérieur des églises et, en particulier, les retables des autels et les colonnes torses qui les entourent. Style manuélin Il doit son nom à Manuel I er , le roi qui monta sur le trône en 1495. C’'est un architecte d'origine française, Boytac, qui fut à l'origine de ce style. A l'opposé des lignes rigides de la période gothique, les piliers se tordent en spirale, sur les voûtes apparaissent de grosses nervures en relief. Ce style symbolise la nouvelle richesse du pays, il disparaîtra aussi vite qu'il s'était épanoui, avec la mort du souverain. L'exemple le plus fameux de ce style original est la fenêtre de Diogo de Arruda, dans le couvent du Christ, à Tomar.

   http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/europe/portugal/
   
   Extractions: Portugal Portugal is one of the most inexpensive and fascinating destinations in Europe. It has a rich seafaring past, superb beach resorts, wistful towns and cities, and a landscape wreathed in olive groves, vineyards and wheat fields. Four decades of dictatorship sidelined the country from modern progress and Europe's power centres, but like its neighbour, Spain, it has spent much of the last 20 years trying to move in from the periphery, forging new ties with the rest of Europe, restructuring its economy, and struggling to maintain what is best in its national culture despite the sudden onslaught of international influences. The struggle between the traditional and the modern continues, and as Portugal flows towards the economic mainstream of the European Union, it still seems to gaze nostalgically over its shoulder and out to sea.

    Extractions: Country Info Portugal Introduction Portugal General Data Portugal Maps Portugal Culture ... Portugal Time and Date Portugal Culture Back to Top Portuguese culture is based on a past that dates from prehistoric times into the eras of Roman and Moorish invasion. All have left their traces in a rich legacy of archaeological remains, including prehistoric cave paintings at Escoural, the Roman township of Conimbriga, the Temple of Diana in Évora, and the typical Moorish architecture of such southern towns as Olhão and Tavira. Throughout the centuries, Portugal's arts have been enriched by foreign influences, including Flemish, French, and Italian. The voyages of the Portuguese discoverers opened the country to Oriental influences, and the revelation of Brazil's wealth of gold and jewels fed the Baroque flame in decoration. Lisbon has a number of important libraries, including the Library of the Academy of Sciences, the Ajuda Library, the National Library, and the Military Historical Archives. The National Archives of Torre do Tombo, also in Lisbon, is noteworthy for its collection of historical documents dating from the 9th century. The provincial libraries in Porto, Évora, Braga, and Mafra contain many rare old books and large manuscript collections. Various specialized libraries are attached to the universities. Portuguese have their own distinctive way of life. The geographic variety of the country has evoked different responses, but there is less regionalism than in Spain. Dancing and singing play a prominent part in the life of the people. Almost every village has its own terreiro, or dance floor of beaten earth. Each region has its own style of dances and songs; most traditional songs are of a slower rhythm than those in Spain. Small accordions are often used to accompany dances, and Portuguese guitars accompany the fado, a song form that epitomizes saudade, the yearning, romantic aspect of the Portuguese character. Some of the best examples of the regional dances are the vira, chula, corridinho, tirana, and fandango, many of which reflect the courting and matrimonial traditions of the area. Much has been done to preserve these and other folk expressions as tourist attractions.
