Extractions: PORTUGAL Portugal is located at South-West extreme of Europe and consists of the mainland and the islands: the Azores (Açores) and Madeira islands. It is 91,905 sq. km in area and has the population of almost 9.928 million people (1998). 36 per cent of the population is urban. Homogeneous Mediterranean people make up the majority population. A small African ethnic minority reminds of the Portugals colonial history. 97 per cent of the population belong to the Roman Catholic religion and the official language is Portuguese. The polarity between a few major cities (Lisbon and Oporto in the first place) with abundant cultural facilities on one side and rural areas which remain peripheral and fairly isolated on the other, still marks the environment for cultural policy in Portugal. Formerly strictly centralized, the cultural field in Portugal is undergoing profound changes, not merely from the administrative point of view, but also in terms of global restructuring. The approach of the state is changing and more and more effort is being put into shaping a balanced and more decentralized system. The demand for a more even distribution of cultural initiatives and funding is influencing the development of a new model of regional division of the country. These initiatives have caused a great promotion of cultural resources, as well as increased professionalization of cultural life.
Portugal - Portuguese Geert Hofstede Cultural Dimensions Explained

http://www.geert-hofstede.com/hofstede_portugal.shtml

Extractions: West Africa * Description for each of Hofstede's Dimensions listed below The World Factbook 2002 In a country that has over 50% of its population practicing the Catholic religion, we found the primary correlating Hofstede Dimension to be Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI). There were only 2 countries out of 23 that did not follow this correlation, they were Ireland and the Philippines. (See accompanying Article Based on our studies and data, the large majority of predominantly Catholic countries (those with Uncertainty Avoidance as their highest ranking Dimension) have a low tolerance for ambiguity. This creates a highly rule-oriented society that institutes laws, rules, regulations, and controls in order to reduce the amount of uncertainty within the population.

Extractions: I NTRODUCTION In the early 1960s, Celeste and Joaquim Sequeira made the difficult decision to leave Silves, Portugal to start a new life in Canada. My father, Joaquim, was 33 years old when he left his homeland due to lack of work. visited Portugal six times and spent my time on the beach, visiting family, hanging out with friends and working in the family orchards. My parents were raised in the small village of Poco Barreto , 10 km from Silves. I have an interesting memory of men travelling from village to village by motorcycle to sell fish. They yelled out what they had to sell and people made their way to purchase their dinner for the day. I last visited Portugal in 1994, when it seemed people were more dependent on themselves for food. In this digest I will touch on religion, food, beaches and the festivals people participate in.

http://www.bladi.net/modules/news/article-3703-exposition-itinerante-de-peintres

Extractions: Culture : Exposition itinérante de peintres calligraphes marocains au Portugal Une exposition itinérante d'oeuvres de peintres calligraphes du Maroc au Portugal a débuté, lundi à Silves, (sud du Portugal) avant de sillonner pendant plusieurs mois les villes de Lisbonne, Obidos et Alfândega da Fé. L'exposition intitulée "de la lettre au geste" donne à voir une quarantaine d'oeuvres récentes de six peintres calligraphes de Marrakech : Abdelghani Ouida, Boustane, Larbi Cherkaoui, Moulay Hassan Haidara, Noureddine Chater et Noureddine Daifallah. Des ateliers animés sur place par les artistes marocains permettront, par ailleurs, d'initier les amateurs aux techniques originales de cet art ancestral de l'écriture arabe. Le vernissage de cette manifestation montée à l'initiative du consul honoraire du Maroc en Algarve (sud du Portugal), l'architecte de renom José Alberto Alegria, avec le concours du musée municipal de Silves et du Musée de Marrakech (Fondation Omar benjelloun), a réuni vendredi dernier à Silves, plusieurs personnalités, notamment les maires des villes devant abriter l'exposition, le chargé d'affaires de l'ambassade du Maroc à Lisbonne, M.

Portugal - Cultural Landscape Of Sintra
Cultural Landscape of Sintra (1995) portugal. Back to index. In the 19th century Sintra became the first centre of European Romantic architecture.
http://worldheritage.heindorffhus.dk/frame-PortugalSintra.htm

Extractions: Portugal Back to index In the 19th century Sintra became the first centre of European Romantic architecture. Ferdinand II turned a ruined monastery into a castle where this new sensitivity was displayed in the use of Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance elements and in the creation of a park blending local and exotic species of trees. Other fine dwellings, built along the same lines in the surrounding serra , created a unique combination of parks and gardens which influenced the development of landscape architecture throughout Europe. Sintra is located about 24 km (15 mi) northwest of Lisbon, of which it is a suburb. The first known settlers were Romans, although Phoenicians may have also settled on the site. The site then fell to the Moors, who made it a royal residence. In 1147 Sintra was made part of the kingdom of Portugal. Overlooking the majestic mountain range that bears its name, and whose magnificent vegetation the British author of the romantic movement, Lord Byron, described as "Glorious Eden" in his poem "Childe Harold", Sintra with its fantastic park, its two royal palaces and its ancient Castelo dos Mouros, is one of the loveliest romantic scenes imaginable. Sintra is something unique, incomparable, and it is impossible even to reflect a pale image if its unequalled beauty. Portugal 1990. Sintra. National Palace of Pena.
