Portugal is represented by its geography, by its history and by those who helped make it: its people. It is worth celebrating the people that are able to stand out from the crowd, find their voice and their call and dare to change the world.

Portugal is a country that lives under the solar sign of endless sweet scented summers, the endless Atlantic Ocean and a glorious colonial past. But what shapes a country, the thing that makes for the “national brand”, are also its people. As another year approaches its end, it is time we celebrate the great Portuguese Personalities that make Portugal what it is today and function as ambassadors.
