PORTUGAL

(Written by María Eugenia Girón, 1ºB) 

Portugal is in the southwest of Europe, bordering Spain. 

It has a cape called Cabo Girão, located in the Madeira Archipelago. Its highest mountains are the mountain of Pico Ruivo and Pico del Arieiro. There are several rivers such as the Tajo, the Duero and the Guadiana, which also pass through Spain. Its coasts are bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. It has very beautiful and important beaches, such as Praia Sao Pedro de Muel, in Marinha Grande, Praia de Dona Ana, in the Algarve, and Praia de Tres Irmaos, also in the Algarve. 

Portugal is very beautiful and it has a lot of cultural richness. It is a country with many important and interesting monuments. One of the most interesting facts about Portugal is that it is one of the oldest nations. Portugal is so beautiful and wonderful. I recommend you visiting it, you will love it!
