• Lisbon is the next remote work hub of Europe. There’s many reasons why I think that:
  1) it already has somewhat of a startup/tech scene because of the annual Web Summit conference
  2) which means internet is fast, and there’s lots of meetups and it’s easy to make friends
  3) it’s relatively affordable for foreigners compared to Spain and the rest of Europe
  4) Portuguese people are super friendly, a lot more friendly than in the rest of the Mediterranean and Europe
  5) Lisbon is ideal to go on day/w

• Ericeira will be the Canggu of Europe, I think.
  It’s the surf capital of Europe, so it has the surfers. It has the hipster cafes with nice coffee, although they are quite tiny and need to be bigger.
  It has amazing restaurants, especially sea food but also typical hipster food.
  It has the same type of people you’ll see in Canggu and Bali.
  Right now there’s a coworking space called Salt but it’s small, cramped and insufficient. What Ericeira needs is a big moder well designed coworking spac

• Better than Lisbon, much more cozy and welcoming. You can find cheaper places in the “other side of the bridge”, in the municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia. Public transports works and is pretty convenient, most part of the city is covered by tram stations. Beaches are freezing cold but nice for a running. Don’t miss the daily sunsets in the garden nearby the bridge, eating pastel de nata and drinking a bottle of Porto Wine. But please, don’t clap your hands to the sun — only Brazilian t

• Nice but also not nice. British normie tourist place with a few hipster/surfer cafes like Abigail’s, Coffee & Waves and Black and White. There’s not much else to do here and the town lacks class and nice hotels. I’d skip this and go to Ericeira instead.

• Spent 2 years living in Ponta Delgada, one of the loveliest locations I’ve lived in up to now. The island of Sao Miguel is stunning, and its warm, friendly people, fantastic gastronomy, English speaking (due to influence from the US in the islands) population, its low VAT (lower than in the Mainland) and cheap (comparing to Lisbon) cost of living make Ponta Delgada a city which is like no other

• One of the cheapest cities in Portugal to live, since it’s basically an university town. It’s definitely a gem, with not so many distractions and perfect to get the work done.
  Coimbra has all the qualities of Portugal cities such as food, wine, safety, cultural events etc, everything quite low-cost oriented, specially accomodation — you can find really good deals way cheaper than Lisbon or Porto. It’s a bit tourist but not a trap. Great green spaces to relax, however it’s a hill city and climb
