Greetings

In Camarate, as in much of Portugal, it is common to greet people with a handshake and direct eye contact. A casual 'Olá' (Hello) is appropriate. Close friends may greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks.

Dining Etiquette

When dining, it is polite to wait for the host to start the meal before you begin eating. Keep your hands on the table (but not your elbows) and refrain from speaking with your mouth full. If offered food or drink, it is respectful to accept, even if you don't want much.

Dress Code

Portugese people tend to dress smartly, particularly in social settings. Casual wear is acceptable but wearing more formal attire, especially during dinner or religious gatherings, is seen as a sign of respect. Avoid overly revealing clothing out of respect for local customs.
