That means all your parents came from the north part of the country. Me, on the other hand, i was born in almada, and my parents both came from the province of Alentejo. that means that both by birth and by ancestry, i came from the south of the country. And beleive it or not, i'm not too familiar with the north part of Portugal, which means i do ignore quite a bit, as you might know from the visits you have done here, the country changes quite a bit every 20 kilometers. It's a real quilt of cultures, Portugal, which has in common with all countries in Europe, anyway.
