I lived in Portugal for 9 months. Never again
When I announced on the British expat site that I was leaving, some other people asked me why. I gave them a list of 10 points.
It turned out that I was far from the only one leaving for those reasons - 21 others were as well.
One guy said that he and his wife were leaving for all those reasons and more.
Of course, it was Brits saying this.
For myself, I was very disappointed. Lisbon had some beautiful spots, but Cape Town has been repeatedly voted the most beautiful city in the world.
I infinitely prefer Spain to Portugal. I hated the food in Portugal.
