Portugal is still a country of ancient stone villages, historic cities and places on the coast that look like century-old seafaring towns; it has preserved a strong sense of identity and national character, although each province has its own traditions and folklore.
The Portuguese will generally welcome you with typical Latin hospitality: they are open, warm and very polite. Casual clothes are generally okay, although beachwear should not be worn in towns, restaurants, etc. Except for in cinemas, in theatres and on buses, smoking is permitted everywhere in Portugal.
