Portuguese costumes
• Portuguese costume reveals a cultural and ethnic link to their Spanish relatives, with slight divergences to reflect Portugal's longer and distinct history.
• Each region of Portugal has its own style of dance and songs .
• Some of the best examples of the regional dances are the vira, chula, corridinho, tirana and fandango, where couples perform a lively dance usually to a fast beat of hand-clapping, guitars and accordions.
• During many of these traditional dances, people dress up in a variety of ways ranging from working clothes to colourful costumes.
