Portugal - fishing by tourist - Photo of Train In Railroad

I'm going to go to Portugal in two weeks. I'm curious whether I can do fishing there.

I would like to do this:

  1. Just normal fishing, lets say standing on rock with regular fish hook.
  2. Fishing during snorkeling (to have just silon with hook in my hand)

Is it legal there? What permissions do I need for 1. and 2. fishing?

I've read some articles but it is very unclear for me because I don't know those fishing terms.
