Customs
National dress is still seen in the northern Minho province at weddings and other festivals.

Traditional garments such as the red and the green stocking cap of the Alentejo cattleman still exist, and the samarra (a short jacket with a collar of fox fur) still survive.

In Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro shepherds wear straw cloaks.

The wearing of black for protracted periods of mourning is common especially in the villages.

In Madeira, national dress can often be seen at the local markets and flower stalls.
