You will also find them on the top of bottles. Yeah, we're big on wine. All right now Let me take you on a tour around our pavilion So over here on our stairs You can actually see where part of my the inspiration for my uniform comes from on the Portuguese traditional tiles there are usually Back in the day, they were usually painted blue on white and you can find a whole wall of them And this is where the inspiration came for our design for the design of our Uniforms quick notes the ones who design our pavilion were called Sarraven Associados and They are getting really big in Portugal for their minimalistic approach and also clean lines Which is what we try to embellish give a more modern look to a country that is full of tradition Over here. We get to our artifact room our artifact room hosts a full wall made out of cork with an interesting design and a lot of other artifacts There you can see These are all made by Portuguese artists This one is actually made full of silver over here We have the be salinas pottery, which is all made in black clay and is actually part of the Inesco heritage Now if you follow me Around here, you can actually find our exhibition room where you will have a range of Games and interactive points where you can actually learn a lot about our country Including over here. You have the Portugal challenge Where not only we're gonna challenge you a little bit when it comes to your knowledge about our country But if you miss that's fine. We'll teach you what the correct answer is So at the end of the day you can repeat as much as much as you want and you're gonna learn a lot about our country a company with some With some screens as well to tell you a lot more about what our country has to offer being the fourth Safest country in the world 65% of all your electricity is already produced through sustainable ways We have a lot of offer including a great education as well Now follow me. I'm gonna take you to the main room now Let's be quiet because over there It's a very special moments and we don't want to ruin anything over here We also have some depiction of our landscapes, which are really important To highlights because our country it really is a world in one country full of diversity Architecture different types of terrain and it really is something special. So come with me I'm gonna show you the really the real deal so over here we actually are gonna sit in Some cork benches designed in Portugal and we're gonna enjoy the show which is in a 360 atmosphere and this was all made by a Portuguese company and Yeah, I hope that you all can enjoy it as much as possible and in the future Maybe visit it and experience for yourself because seeing it on the screen is completely different from my experience in in real life As you can see the tiles are all also a big part of the show as well as the inspiration for our pavilion I don't know if you want me to continue explain. Yeah, you can continue to explain So the the tiles have been used for centuries and centuries and we've actually it's a big tradition in Portugal And a lot of them some of them are not in the greatest state so we've actually have managed to reconstruct a lot of the walls that had these designs and Here we're portraying that that tradition that We want to keep alive and that they actually tell a lot about our country not only over our actual history, but also fables traditions And that's what we wanted to embellish in this in this new pavilion this new experience As you can see we're all made of breeze and we're all made of sea and we're all made of everyone Portugal is surrounded by the sea and the sea brings a lot of inspiration not only to whatever we do But it also gives us a little bit more of hope and discoveries as you all know from the history of Portugal This part kind of represents how we're all the same. We're all made of cells and We're all part of the same thing and for the same reasons Obviously Obviously our oceans are in danger right now So we wanted to highlight that and we wanted to show that it is really important to preserve them and the species that live in them So there are there are rules for the fishermen and everything so they don't over fish They don't kill the dolphins stuff like that such as seafood culture that we have in Portugal where we actually have We eat a lot of fish and seafood and we have a lot of dishes that are based on that We actually have to impose those strategies to actually Manage the population of fishes especially when it comes to tuna which has seen a drastic Reduction in its population and overfishing is still a problem, but we're trying to correct as much as possible Obviously we always highlight our landscapes, which are just staggering and Beautiful to look at as long as well as our beaches which we have a lot of them from the north to the south You can find hundreds of beaches in Portugal and of course There is no Portugal without a lot of tradition a lot of Parties as well and a lot of fairs and really highlight our culture of being different Loving to have fun, but also working very hard at the same time We've been a center of entertainment as well and Yeah, this is part of our islands of Madeira, Nisotas Which are a very big important part of our country as well if you like outdoor sports. We also got it covered mountain bikes trails It's truly is a special place to be at oh and we also have a mountain called Serra de Estrela or Mount of the Star Where you can actually get some skiing done and or snowboarding, but not all the year. No all year wrong No only during winter. Yeah, we like to say that we have everything snow is only during a little bit of the year No all year long, but surfing definitely all year long Portugal is affordable place to travel to from anywhere in Europe. It's always cheap airlines. It is very affordable Compared to like a lot of countries in Europe. We're one of the most affordable countries in Europe and Whatever you find in Portugal is that everyone is very nice and very hospitable and a lot of the activities that you want to Take part on they're not going to cost you an arm and a leg They're actually going to be decently affordable for you to enjoy yourselves You can skydive you can serve you can Do some motorbiking if you actually have the license to or if your courage is enough even do some rock climbing and The flights are affordable to come there. The flights are actually easy jet everything Yeah, yeah with easy jet Ryanair all of them actually stop at Lisbon and they actually have quite affordable prices myself I've Lived in the Netherlands for a while now and every time I visit Portugal I pay what 70 euros on with the easy jet or Ryanair and I'm back and that's probably like a return flight It's sometimes you can get really cheap flights Oh, and and the weather is great until October November and stuff like I would like to say that the weather is great all year long But we do have four stations during autumn It doesn't maybe we'll get a little bit rainy, but the temperature will never drop below 10 degrees Well when you get to winter in some places there might be cold But never to the extremity that will get like below like minus 10 or anything like some areas Might we'll get to like minus one, but nothing like extremely cold and during summer obviously we can get between 30 to 40 degrees sometimes and When and spring is actually the best time because temperature ranges between 15 to 25 and that's just the sweet spot To visit Portugal our cities are a big part of it and we have a lot of architecture and history I hope you have enjoyed our experience and I hope to see you again in Portugal one day.
