My unit on Sports and Leisure Activities in Portugal
 
Touradas and soccer are the favorite sport and leisure activities of the Portuguese. Touradas are part of the culture of the Portuguese. Portuguese Tourada "Bullfighting," is different than all the other Bullfights around the world, because the bull is not killed at the end of the Bullfight. Soccer is the national sport and the favorite leisure activity for most of the Portuguese.
