Portugal, with its long Atlantic coast, lies on the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe - the most westerly country on the European mainland. The land consists of highland forests in the north and rolling lowland in the south. It tends to be wetter and cooler in the north. The south can be hot and parched, and it is dotted with reservoirs to conserve water. Most people live along the coast, with a third of the population living in the urban areas of Lisbon and Porto.
Spanish is the fourth most spoken language in the world. Namely in Central and South America, Spain and in big parts in the USA. Large communities are located in California, Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Colorado and New York.
