Collection: Portugal
Portugal’s ecological and cultural diversity is deeply influenced by its varied geography, Atlantic coastline, and long, multicultural history. The country ranges from the green, rainy mountains of the north to the sun-drenched plains of the Alentejo and the Mediterranean-like Algarve with ecosystems that include cork oak forests, coastal dunes, wetlands, and the volcanic landscapes of the Azores and Madeira. These diverse environments support a wide array of wildlife, including Iberian lynx, storks, flamingos, and many endemic plant species. Culturally, Portugal is a rich tapestry of regional traditions shaped by Celtic, Roman, Moorish, and maritime influences. From the soulful strains of fado music and azulejo-tiled architecture to vibrant festivals and distinct regional cuisines, each part of the country has its own identity. This blend of natural beauty and deep-rooted cultural heritage makes Portugal a uniquely vibrant and multifaceted nation.
