Portugal

Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic, stands as a country situated on the Iberian Peninsula in the southwestern part of Europe. Encompassing not only the mainland but also the Macaronesian archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, Portugal boasts the distinction of hosting the farthest western point in continental Europe. The Iberian sector of its territory is embraced by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south, while its northern and eastern boundaries are shared with Spain, the exclusive neighboring country with a land connection to Portugal.
