Hi Gabriel
Many thanks for your interpretation of "continental Portugal." I was
genuinly intrigued by the term as used by Constantino--hence my simple
query. I was also not aware that he was of Portuguese extraction which could
have made a semantic difference in the use of language between us.
Regards
Cornel

Thank you very much for your explanation for your
contemporary, repeat,
contemporary use of "continental Portugal"
Cornel,
Pardon me for intruding, but Constantino, being of
Portuguese extraction, is probably talking in terms he
is accustomed to: "continental" Portugal (or "Europa",
as was another termed used then) to distinguish it
from the "overseas" Portugal. I am sure these terms
came from pre-1970s description of the Portuguese
scene.
Cheers,
