Portugal has developed a specific culture while being influenced by the various civilizations that crossed the Mediterranean and those that were discovered during the age of discovery. Portuguese music encompasses a wide variety of genres; the most renowned is Fado, a melancholic urban music, usually associated with Portuguese guitars and with suadade, the feeling of missing someone. Porteguese cuisine is particularly diverse; various recipes of rice, potatoes, bread, meat, sea-food and fish are the staple foods.
