Abstract(s)
Portugal has a singular geographic position in lhe European context (Ribeiro
et al., 1987). Set on lhe 11105t \Vestem coast of the lberian Peninsula. Portugal faces
the Atlantic in an area where it is already characterized by the cold and rough waters
so well known to northwestern Europeans. This coast looks due west, as can be seen
from the continental map outline; and it certain]y contributed to Portugal's leading
role in the fifteen to sixteenth centuries and later. As a maritime power Portugal
provided Europe with the wonders from across the seas, and as a cultural melting
pot Portugal, at that time, reshaped the European view of the world
