Both (Gracil-)Mediterranid, maybe some Nordid admixture visible at some individuals of the North.
Other elements almost absent.

Again really good examples of the Mediterranid race.
Just some are of the Berid or Atlantid subtype, one or two of the and Alpinoid.
I can see nothing else.
(but some of the group pictures are to small)

 The left one is very good example of a pure and very beautiful Mediterranid woman. Very nice. Its also nice to see that traditions and traditional clothing seems to be practiced in Portugal. I saw a documentary about working children in Portugal, they were really poor and its a shame this is still true either. But of course even this poor one were really beautiful and perfect Mediterranid examples! Some with Nordid admixture. |

Just about every village and town in Portugal has an ethnographic/folclore group. It remains a very popular activity in the rural parts of Portugal.
The child labour problem in Portugal occures mostly in northern Portugal, where children are sometimes sent by their parents to work rather than to school, where uneducated parents from poorer rural backgrounds believe their children will not acquire enough discipline or work habits. In some cases the parents are alcoholics and need the money their children earn to purchase wine and spirits. This practice is illegal as schooling in Portugal is now compulsory until the 9th grade. The fact that this phenomenon is much more common in northern Portugal can explain the the nordid admixture you saw in some of the individuals.

The rather small group photos from Baixo Alentejo were the only ones I could find on-line.
There may be slight negroid admixture in one or two of the individuals in the baixo Alenetejo photos as this is the region of Portugal which allegedly absorbed the most African blood. This province is home to perhaps about 3% of Portugal´s total population. The Alentejo region as a whole has 6% of Portugal´s population.
I would say the people from southern Portugal appear to have more Berber admixture than those in northern Portugal, although these differences do not appear to be very significant.
