'''Portugal''' is a country located in southwestern south-western [[Europe]] on the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal is the westernmost country of mainland Europe and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by [[Spain]] to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the [[Azores]] and [[Madeira Islands|Madeira]] are also part of Portugal.
People are very friendly in general. During the summer, especially the coastline is overrun with tourists. In Portugal people are easy going and sometimes slow. Everything needs its time, so you will probably have to wait for a little while. Long distance buses are usually a bit late.
=== Sleep ===
if you don't find anything through the typical hospitality exchange networks, you can try to stay with the firemen. Each Bombeiros station in Portugal has a room where they can host passing travellers, and it is free. These (mostly volunteer) firefighters fire-fighters are friendly and chatty, when they speak englishEnglish. Make sure you go ask early enough, however, as the station commander has to verify that you can stay... ([[User:janpa|janpa]] tried it in several stations in march March 2013 and had no luck. Might work in remote areas though, or if you are a fireman yourself.)
Throughout the three warmer seasons, and in winter too if you have a tent or find shelter, you can sleep outside without much hassle.
