Portuguese Talk: The most interesting villages in Portugal

This foreign language talk will be delivered entirely in Portuguese, so you will need a good understanding of the spoken language to understand the content. You don’t need to be a fluent speaker, but you do need to understand sentences on unfamiliar topics.  

Visitar as aldeias de Portugal é uma das experiências mais interessantes para se fazer no país. Cada uma delas espera por você com as características únicas que as tornam tão especiais. Atreva-se a abraçar esta ruralidade, a falar com os seus habitantes, a beber na fonte dos seus saberes, a partilhar a sua mesa e o seu modo de vida. Às aldeias que mais impressionam, juntei as mais admiradas, as mais populares, as que estão no “top”, as incontornáveis. Agora cabe-te a ti descobrir estas aldeias adormecidas, absorver o seu ambiente tradicional e pitoresco, e construir novas memórias que, posso garantir, serão inesquecíveis! Venha saber mais sobre estas aldeias portuguesas nesta palestra. Visiting the villages of Portugal is one of the most interesting experiences to do in the country.

To the villages that impress the most, I have added the most admired, the most popular, those on “top” lists, the unavoidable.
