There are many traditions and folklores in Portugal

Fado is a very popular musical genre in Portugal. The themes sung by the fadista are always melancholic. We talk about unfulfilled love, jalousy , sorrow, exile … It is accompanied with a Portuguese guitar.

The dictator Salazar declared Fado the national song which represents since then, full tradition that has largely crossed the borders!

Here’s a Youtube link if you want to listen to this music genre : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHBk5g_Ei38

 

There are different delightful specialities that amaze the Portuguese and visitors from other countries.

Look at the case of sardines, The “Francesinha” or “Frenchie” which is a very popular sandwich, a sort of “croque monsieur”, much thicker and served with a sauce. The recipe was first made in Porto by a former emigrant who went back to Porto from France.

The pastel de nata, a traditional Portuguese pastry, is also very appreciated by the tourists visiting the country, but what a lot of people don’t know, is that when it started to be sold in 1837, it's goal was to save the Hieronymites Monastery.

These different traditions make Portugal a renowned country, where young and aged people love to live.
