Random city in Portugal

287 towns, down to 5,000 people

Portugal is smaller than the other countries on the site, so its list goes lower: every place GeoNames counts at 5,000 people or more, 287 in all. Only ten reach 100,000, with Lisbon first at about 518,000 and Porto second. 199 are under 20,000, which is where the draw spends most of its time, from Vila Real to Castro Marim on the Spanish border.

The 18 mainland districts plus the Azores and Madeira make up the 20 regions in Region. The districts of Lisbon and Porto have 35 places each, Aveiro 26 and Faro, the Algarve, 25. The Azores bring nine places, among them Ponta Delgada and Angra do Heroísmo, and Madeira eight, with Funchal its one big city.

Names follow Portuguese spelling, so you will see Évora, Setúbal and Bragança with their accents.
