Portugal is one of the oldest European Countries, existing as a country for more than eight centuries. During the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal became a melting pot of different cultures, due to the greatness of its Maritime Discoveries, well represented by the Manueline or Portuguese late Gothic style with a sumptuous Portuguese architectural ornamentation, incorporating maritime elements and representations of the vast Portuguese discoveries. Portugal’s largest cities are all majestically-sited by grand rivers. Medieval towns with wonderful flowering gardens and villas, liberally laid out streets, beautiful gothic churches, narrow and cozy streets with a wine shop in every corner, picturesque coastal villages, gardens in every city with exotic and tropical species brought from different continents, castles dominating the skyline, mysterious prehistoric stone circles, megaliths, and dolmens. Fátima inspires a religious mysticism with one of the most famous Marian shrines in the world, while the spectacular baroque sanctuaries in the North attract both the devout and the curious. In this sun shining country, the vegetation is a mixture of Atlantic,  Mediterranean and African species…
