I did not know R a month ago, fascinating what one can do following a good youtube tutorial.

I've also walked the length of the country: https://youtu.be/wxVBkEayERc

Just to make sure the map was legit.

I am but this is the first one I've made! You can follow Tyler Morgan-Wall on Twitter, he's the developer of the package and has tons of awesome graphics :)

I actually just started learning R. Can you point me to the resource(s) you used to learn?

Hi! I'm planning to do that as well. Did you find it useful and is it easy enough if you have no background?

Congratulations! Just consider naming the future graphs correctly :) Portugal is much more than a rectangle.

Very surprising how empty the south is

Also really eye opening to realize how much of the population lives in cities, like just these huge spikes followed by nothing until you reach another city

The U.S. is the exception in that it does have lots of "in-fill"--loads of suburbia and strip malls in between big cities. A characteristic of a society designed around cars.

Most of the world is characterized by wide open space and long roads until your reach the next city, town, or settlement.

That really depend on what part of the US you're talking about. You have huge deserts, lakes, and mountain ranges. No 'in-between' cities as well.

This is the same, only at a much smaller scale, since it's a small country.

Portugal has a lot of small/medium cities (with hundreds of towns in between) but only a few big ones, so it skews the results on the graph. Making it seem like there are more deserted areas than there actually are.

Half the country's population lives in the Metropolian Areas of Lisbon, Porto, and Faro.

Faro isn't that populous, and even the whole of Algarve is less populous than a few other areas. Braga district is third most populous zone, if you're already considering the metropolitan areas of Lisboa and Porto.

Need a higher res version, once you zoom in everything gets fuzzy. Other than that its great!

For sure! This is merely a screenshot, I tried to post the original png file but it's too large :/

As in the Spanish map, the islands are missing. Why do you guys from the continent always forget about us?

I mean it looks cool and all but I can't help feel another more simple map might convey the information better.
