The KulturSchock series by Reise Know-How was awarded the "Special Guide Series" prize by the International Tourism Fair in 2010. This book describes the thought processes and behaviors of the Portuguese, explains the historical, religious, and social backgrounds that lead to these ways of life, and thus provides guidance in everyday Portuguese life. Family life, moral values, and rules of etiquette are explained, as well as the relationship with the neighboring country of Spain and the peculiarities of the Portuguese language and music. The detailed behavioral tips for business travelers, vacationers, and expatriates are particularly useful. Little Portugal looks back with nostalgia on a lost empire - but what about today and tomorrow? Why do the Portuguese consider themselves convinced Europeans yet feel like outsiders in Europe? What do they live on and how?.
