Thank you Fernando. Far from being a linguist, I never am clear on just how closely (or far apart) these Iberian languages are. I do know that here, when those speaking Portuguese (or the form from Caribbean, Florida) try to communicate with Mexican folks, they might as well be from other planets!
Of course 'Mexican' does not go far in Madrid either.
