Portuguese storytelling is a rich tradition that encompasses various forms, including oral tales, literature, and theater. It often reflects the country's history, culture, and values, with themes of adventure, love, and moral lessons. Notable figures in this tradition include Fernando Pessoa and Eça de Queirós, who have contributed significantly to Portuguese literature. Oral storytelling remains vital in rural communities, where tales are passed down through generations. These stories often feature mythical creatures like Lobisomem (werewolf) and Fado (a genre of music), which evoke deep emotions and connect listeners to their heritage.
