I caught a clip on ERT about the little-known Portuguese vacation spot of Ericeria, located on the southern coast of the small nation. Famous for its surfing clime, the host also pointed out another interesting aspect of the Portuguese lifestyle; recycling.While in America we do try to recycle, or perhaps just not use the plastic at all, the Portuguese seem to have it down.
