ADVERTISING INFORMATION Madeira - Culture THE EMBROIDERY INDUSTRY When we look to an embroidery is like travelling in a land of fantasy, colour, imagination and art. The art of the stitches and slipknots is where we discover many hours of work and dedication. Madeira museums keep abundant and precious artistic masterpieces of that period and Madeira people have proud of "Museu de Arte Sacra in Funchal". It has one of the most representative world collections of Flemish paintings, proceeding from Bruges, Antwerp and Malines. There are also still notable architectonic evidences, such as at Funchal Cathedral; the Church and Convent of Santa Clara; the Churches of Calheta, Santa Cruz and Machico; the Chapels of Reis Magos, Encarnacao and Corpo Santo. There are also some remains of Old Customhouse and Manueline windows kept at Quinta das Cruzes. The Cathedral However, since the last decade of the 16th century, the exportation of sugar suffered a great resection. This resection was determined by the break of soil productivity, diseases that contaminated the canebrakes and, above all, due to the competitive sugar brought from Brazil, where Madeira people had introduced techniques and specialised hand labour. Thus, during a great period of the 17th century, Madeira Archipelago suffered a social and economical crisis. However, Funchal port kept the commercial trade to Africa, America and India. It also had importance with the exportation of pastry, the famous "casquinha" done from lemon, cider and other candied fruit in a fusing of sugar.

ADVERTISING INFORMATION Santa Maria (Azores Islands) - Culture Festivals The crowning of the "emperor", the displaying of his insignia - crown and sceptre - in the "theatres" of the villages, the procession of the "emperor" and "empress" with their retinue, the women carrying flower-bedecked wicker baskets filled with bread, the bull-carts, with colourful paper and flower decorations on their yokes carrying offerings for the "império" or feast, the music and singing of the "jesters" - all these are phases of a ritual whose origins are lost in time. On the day of the festival, which varies from parish to parish, open fires are lit early in the morning to heat up the big-bellied pots in which the meat dishes, called soup of the Empire, are cooked. The "império" attracts all the inhabitants of the villages and surroundings, who eat and drink in a joyful atmosphere, in Whitsun and following Sundays. Other colourful festivals are that of Santo Amaro at Praia, Almagreira, on 15th January, the Festivals of Vile do Porto on 15th August and the festivals of the patron saints of the parishes during the summer months. All the religious ceremonies, lived with devotion, are completed by animated profane festivities with music and dancing.

Porto Throughout the centuries, Portugal's arts have been enriched by foreign influences, including Flemish, French and Italian. The voyages of the Portuguese discoverers opened the country to Oriental influences and the revelation of Brazil's wealth of gold and jewels fed the Baroque flame in decoration. If you're into religion Portugal has a wealth of cathedrals and churches alongside a stunning coastline. Inland exploration can be just as rewarding as playing on the beach all day. The country lies along the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula in south-western Europe. It is bordered on the East and North by Spain, and on the West and South by the Atlantic Ocean. Occupying about 16 percent of the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal has a total area of 35, 672 square miles, occupied by ten million people. Despite its small size, the country displays a great diversity of geographic features, creating a contrast between plain areas and extremely mountainous zones.

49. Brazilian Cultural Influence In Portugal Brazilian culture in portugal. by José Leon Machado. (Translation by Ray Charles). The influence of Brazilian culture in portugal http://www.portcult.com/Portugal.63.BRAZILIAN_INFLUENCE.htm

Brazilian Culture in Portugal by José Leon Machado (Translation by Ray Charles) The influence of Brazilian culture in Portugal is a myth that was created twenty five years ago, precisely at the time when Portuguese television began to broadcast the episodes of Brazilian soap operas produced by TV Globo. The topic awakened heated debates among intellectuals, sociologists, writers, and linguists. It was thought at the time that Portuguese culture and language would be totally submerged by the daily flood of soap operas filled wth the soft pronunciation of South American Portuguese. Portuguese intellectuals feared that the ten million inhabitants of their nation would, suddenly, begin to modify the pronunciation of their forefathers and also employ strange expressions like "estou de cuca cheia", isto é uma droga, "bater um papo", etc. More than twenty five years after the first soaps were broadcast, the influence noted is very tenuous, almost nothing. The Portuguese did not change their phonetic system and the Brazilian expressions that came into Continental Portuguese are so few that we can hardly say that our cultural identity is in danger. What has happened to defraud the most pessimistic expectations of our intellectuals? In the first place, we should say that the Portuguese people are resistant to change. Linguistic changes are an example of this. The phonetic system of Continental Portuguese, rigid and hierarchical, does not tolerate vowels and consonants that do not belong to its eight-hundred year old linguistic system. The Portuguese love to hear Brazilians speak, but unless they go to live in Brazil and pick up the local variety, they can only imitate them very poorly.

PORTUGAL INTRODUCTION Portugal is located at South-West extreme of Europe and consists of the mainland and the islands: the Azores (Açores) and Madeira islands. It is 91,905 sq. km in area and has the population of almost 9.928 million people (1998). 36 per cent of the population is urban. Homogeneous Mediterranean people make up the majority population. A small African ethnic minority reminds of the Portugal’s colonial history. 97 per cent of the population belong to the Roman Catholic religion and the official language is Portuguese. The polarity between a few major cities (Lisbon and Oporto in the first place) with abundant cultural facilities on one side and rural areas which remain peripheral and fairly isolated on the other, still marks the environment for cultural policy in Portugal. Formerly strictly centralized, the cultural field in Portugal is undergoing profound changes, not merely from the administrative point of view, but also in terms of global restructuring. The approach of the state is changing and more and more effort is being put into shaping a balanced and more decentralized system. The demand for a more even distribution of cultural initiatives and funding is influencing the development of a new model of regional division of the country. GENERAL DIRECTIONS OF CULTURAL POLICY These initiatives have caused a great promotion of cultural resources, as well as increased professionalization of cultural life.

Portugal is a fascinating country with a rich cultural heritage, charming old cities, picturesque landscapes, dreamlike beaches with idyllic bays and not at least the country, where 1917 happened the wonder of Fatima , which made the city a world famous place of Christian pilgrimage. W e started our tour with a one week's round-trip by car, which gave us unforgettable impressions of life, the cultural heritage and the beauty of the country. Our itinerary lead us more than 1000 km through the country, from Faro at the southern coast up to the region around Lisbon and back to the Algarve, to Albufeira, where we spent another week. E specially remarkable and impressive were the unusual large fortresses on high hilltops, the mighty ramparts of which surround mediaeval cities, still inhabited as well as marvellous castles. Thus we often felt like taken back into the times of the Moorish conquerors and the expulsion of them by the Portuguese. O n the way we enjoyed seeing the varying landscapes - steppes, mountain chains and fertile plains with exotic subtropical vegetation. While Eucalyptus-, olive- and cork oak plantations, fruit trees and wine form the lovely picture of the countryside, palms and a lavish abundance of colourful flowers gives the white villages, the nobleman's country seats, the solaced quintas and the cities a charming flair.
