Portugal districts quiz

Portugal districts quiz: 20 places, the islands in boxes, and capitals that repeat

The map shows Portugal’s 18 mainland districts with Spain in grey beside them, the Azores in a box at top left and Madeira in one at bottom left. “Find the place” asks all 20, in random order. “Find it from its capital” finds the places instead, with a note above the map: 18 of the 20 capitals have their district’s name.

1. “Choose the capital” asks all 20: a district lights up and the bar asks “What is the capital of Aveiro?” — the answer is Aveiro, beside three other district capitals.
2. So the points are won or lost on the islands: Ponta Delgada for the Azores, Funchal for Madeira. The wrong answers are mainland capitals, Porto or Faro among them.
3. On the mainland the smallest districts are Viana do Castelo, Lisbon and Porto: zoom with the buttons, Ctrl + scroll or two fingers, and “Whole map” to go back.
4. A wrong capital turns red; the second wrong one shows the answer. The end lists the misses as “Azores · Ponta Delgada”, with a button to practise only those.

A quick round before a trip or a test: find all 20 on the map, then choose the capitals, where only the two island groups have a name of their own to learn. Names here are English (Lisbon, Azores); the Brazilian Portuguese page says Lisboa and Açores.
