Just came home from Sunday evening dinner at my local beachside restaurant, asking a Portuguese who’s going to win the World Cup? She answered “ Spain I hope” I didn’t expect that given the Portuguese vs Espana rivalry. I asked a bit more to be told “ isn’t the world hoping for that, everyone hates Argentina” blimey that’s not what I expected! |  | | |  |

It's strange because they're next door to each other but Portugal-Spain isn't much of a rivalry in my experience.
But yeah, everyone does hate Argentina. |  |

I once asked a Portuguese friend about the language differences between Portugal and Spain. He said, "We understand everything they say whereas they pretend to not understand us." |  |

Just tell a bar full of Portuguese that they’re just second rate Spaniards and were one and the same country between 1580 and 1640 and you are guaranteed entertainment.
Actually, I like the Portuguese and their lovely country. I’ve found them in general nicer than the Spanish (who are ok). |  | | |

I find Spain very regionalised in terms of friendliness. Lots of Northern European tourists (or "guiris" as they call them) = quite unfriendly. Not so many guiri visitors = very friendly.
Madrid is much friendlier than Barcelona, the interior friendlier than the coasts, the Northern parts (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country) are the best bits. [Post edited 20 Jul 16:15]
