Portugal is a country in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula characterized by rolling plains, mountain ranges in the north, and a long coastline along the Atlantic Ocean.

📍 Portugal is a country located in Southern Europe, situated on the Iberian Peninsula along the Atlantic coast. It is bordered by Spain to the north and east, with a coastline along the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south.
Portugal’s terrain includes coastal plains, rolling hills, and mountain ranges, particularly in the north and center. The country is also home to several major rivers, such as the Tagus and Douro, which flow westward into the Atlantic.
