Map of continental Portugal
Continental Portugal (Portuguese : Portugal continental , IPA: [puɾtuˈɣal kõtinẽˈtal] mainland Portugal comprises the bulk of the Portuguese Republic , namely that part on the Iberian Peninsula and so in Continental Europe , having approximately 95% of the total population and 96.6% of the country's land. Mainland Portugal is therefore commonly called by residents of the Portuguese archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira the continent (Portuguese : o continente ) in all respects including minor elements of combined governance from Lisbon , the country's capital. Before 1975, when the Portuguese territory also stretched to several now-independent states in Africa , the designation metropolis (Portuguese : metrópole ) was also used.
Context [ edit ]
The designation mainland Portugal is used to differentiate the continental territory of Portugal from its insular territory. The latter comprises the archipelagos of Madeira and Azores in the Atlantic Ocean . The Azores and Madeira are also commonly referred to as the autonomous regions (Portuguese : as regiões autónomas ), insular Portugal (Portuguese : Portugal Insular ) or, simply, the islands (Portuguese : as ilhas ).
Continental Portugal is divided into 18 districts . Outside of these the islands of Madeira and the Azores are the Autonomous Regions of Portugal .
The European Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics defines the geographic plurality of the mainland Portugal and the islands as the primary NUTS I territorial division (see administrative divisions of Portugal: NUTS for details).
While in modern Portugal the difference between European continental and total territory is minor (in terms of area), it mattered during the existence of the Portuguese Empire , when the distinction was more frequently made, such as in the colonisation of Brazil . Continental Portugal has an area of 89,015 square kilometres (34,369 sq mi ) or 96.6% of the Portuguese national territory (92,145 square kilometres (35,577 sq mi )) and 10,142,079 inhabitants (or 95.3% of the total population of 10,639,726).[1]
