Abstract
The settlement geography of Portuguese migrants in the primate centre is examined through six hypothetical propositions. These are that migrants have settled in discrete clusters; that the migratory pattern of all group members is similar; that the cluster exhibits common cultural traits; that the cultural traits of migrant and host differ; that cluster areas have a common character and evolution and that the migrant’s cultural overlay is evident in the physical structure of the neighbourhood. The data is derived from a 50% sample from a population of 154 households. The findings are related to those of similar studies in different geographical environments.Keywords
