This means that "about 53.4% of all the area burnt in Europe was in Portugal" they said.
Last week there were several huge wild fires mainly in the centre and north of the country and on the island of Madeira, where houses were destroyed and three people lost their lives.
if it wasnt for our wonderful firemen here in portugal who work for nothing . it would have been even worse. many thousands thank you.and do what we can .hence people out there, quite often tourist ,stop throwing rubbish , cigarette ends etc.please take care everyone .
