Districts of Portugal

There have been many changes of Districts in Portugal over the past century and this has caused, and still does, confusion. Many of the older people do not recognise the changes and in many areas the current legal administration divisions are not refered to at all. The Districts in common use do not fall exactly into the current legal Regions framework. Throughout HeyProperty we have used the exisiting pre-1976 Districts as these are the names that are still mostly used in Portagal today. Click Here for a more detailed explanation of the changes which highlights the difficulties.
