Cultural Note
'Selvagem' doesn't change form between masculine and feminine. The Ilhas Selvagens (Savage Islands) are Portugal's most remote territory, a tiny nature reserve between Madeira and the Canary Islands. The Rota Vicentina along the Alentejo coast is prized for its 'selvagem' (wild, unspoiled) character.
