-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd say that the postal code should include the location, the wikipedia page says: "The Portuguese postal code (código postal) is formed by four digits, a hyphen, then three digits, followed by a postal location of up to 25 characters in capitals."
If one searches for a postal code in the Portuguese post office page, which is also linked in the wikipedia page, one gets exactly the scheme mentioned (NNNN-NNN LOCATION). The wikipedia page also says: "Note that, although the regions' names are connected the (extinct) 1936 provinces of Portugal, their limits (with the exception of Algarve) are not exactly the same." I don't know if this still holds true, also this year there was a reorganization of parishes (1), I don't know how that changes the relationship between administrative areas to postal codes but I suppose that should be taken into account/looked into. (1) Some parishes were merged and given a new name. That I know of there are no more changes planned in the short term, but I don't know if we've seen the end of it as the change was somewhat controversial.
