>>49758509Ireland is closer to British culture than Portugal is to Spain.
>t. lived in Ireland and Portugal, and have family members in England and Spain, which I visit sometimes.Irish people will be absolutely livid if you say that to them though. But it's true, they're significantly close culturally to the English.
Meanwhile Portugal and Spain don't even speak the same language, the usual food also differs, etc. The obvious big similarity between the two that I can think of is that wine is very cheap and many people drink it every day.
