Visiting Portugal? Drinking Portuguese Wines? Reading Portuguese Names?

Portugal is a very popular country for visitors from the UK. The wines of Port and Mateus Rose have been popular in the UK for many years. The Portuguese are very friendly to people from the UK, because traditionally the British governments were allies or helpers of Portugal, especially at a time when England was fighting Spain at sea. So some of the goodwill to the British as business people and buyers as well as allies from years ago lingers on, reinforcing Portuguese politeness and friendliness to travellers and tourists.
