Even then, I thought they were swarthier. Most (not an overwhelming majority, though) people I met had brown hair/eyes but still could easily pass for local in most other European countries.

They were speaking EU PT, so I know they weren't tourists or South Brazilians with German heritage.

Also, I saw the same shit in Caldas da Rainha and as far as I knew I was the only camone for miles.

A handful of people thought I was Ukrainian, but they mentioned my accent sounded that way. I did hear a lot of "I thought you were tuga until you opened your mouth."
My girlfriend told me the typical camone/tourist is "blond hair, blue eyes, sunburned" and I only counted for one of those three.

Holy shit kill yourself.
Anthony Watson
dude,there's no fucking difference between the south and the north...Only Lisbon and the rest of the country are fucking assymetrical..
Ian Sanchez
E o norte basicamente é Espanha.
Muh heritage is pic related, so basically a mixture of Germanic, Celtic and probably some Ancient Roman thrown in which isn't too far off from Portugal's background. Could explain it.

>moor talk pls go back to morocco sófá imperial letuce arab REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i hate your kind
Temos mais semelhanças culturais com a Galiza e comida mais rica em calorias em Trás-os-Montes, aka enchidos.
Yea but the arab genes are dominant over those >allahu akbar >make al andaluz great again

IIRC genetic studies showed you didn't get all that much from the middle east/north Africa, you just have slightly higher amounts of sub-saharan African DNA than other Europeans (which, for some reason, dates back to ~1600 years ago). But even fucking Norwegians are, on average, 1% black.
Eli Collins
>1% AYOO HOL UP
Aiden Bennett
Those people were black haired and dark eyed. Celts and suebi brought fair features.
Landon Ross
dude most people in Portugal have: >dark hair and eyes >we get easily tanned
i have black hair, dark brown eyes and i get tanned easily, most people here are like that.
around 10-20% are blond and ~1% are gingers I've noticed that wealthy people tend to be more white (blonde n shit) due to sexual selection.
