Neither! Portugal is in Europe and is an independent
country just west of Spain. It does not "belong" to Spain.
The Portuguese speaking country in South America
is Brazil.

Portugal is a small country right next to Spain at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. You may think that it is in South America because in Brazil, the main language is Portuguese.

Portugal is a coastal nation in southwestern Europe. Its mainland is located on the Iberian Peninsula and borders only one nation — Spain, to the east and north — with a total of 1,214km of borders. Despite this total of km for the border with Spain, Portugal does not recognise the border from the delta of the River Caia to the delta of the River Cuncos since 1801's occupation of the Olivença territory by the Spanish Kingdom. This territory, though under Spanish occupation remains part of Portugal and no border is henceforth recognised in this area. It is bordered on the west with a 1,793km coastline along the North Atlantic Ocean. Portugal also controls the Atlantic islands of Azores and Madeira Islands, which are strategic locations along western sea approaches to the Strait of Gibraltar between the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. In total, the country has an area of 92,391 km² of which 91,951 km² is land and 440 km² water.

I'm afraid your teacher is wrong! Portugal is in Western Europe, bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the other three sides by Spain. It does not belong to Spain; it's an independent country. I think it belonged to Spain a few hundred years ago, but that's ancient history!
