Pepini - what are your thoughts on Porto? I'm living here now, and half the city is abandoned/for sale. I tend to prefer second cities for personal reasons, although I haven't spent much time in Lisbon, and Porto, so far, is very cool. It's also quite a bit cheaper than what I've seen from Lisbon.
The same goes with Lisbon. Banks are foreclosing houses and they leave it empty until auctioning. Also some speculators let one or two building abandoned, so that the price of real estate continues high. This was told to me by a guy who owned several buildings.
Porto is cheaper than Lisbon, people are friendlier and girls are more feminine (prettier) and easy to get along. I had a friend in college who transfered to the Porto campus, he never came back to Lisbon. Worse is winter. For those who can stand bad weather I would recommend Porto over Lisbon. Still bearing in mind that after a while I must imagine it must get boring.
Wow, Porto half abondoned? that's quite surprising. Any reasons behind this? Porto is usually a very traditional and stronghold of Portuguese society/economy. Maybe Pepini can shed some lights on that...
[i]Good links man on investing in Portugual. I've been eyeing Portugal for a long time both for a vacation and for a possible mini retirement. It has IMO all the ingredients for a good time: in Europe, very easy access to the rest of the continent, decent prices, good party scene and lots of sexy Brasileiras (in comparisons, how are the brasileiras in Portugual compared to the ones in Brasil in terms of attitude? and equally, how do the Portuguesas compare to the Brasileiras in terms of hotness/sexyness and attitude overall?).
I've seen some very tantalising documentaries on Lisboa and it looks like THE place to be in Portugual. Is that true? Or is there another less talked city? Pepini, give us the scope on Portugal rapaiz. [/i]
I´ve travelled over 23 countries in Europe. You don´t get better than Lisbon to rest and have peace of mind. To raise a family it´s probably the best city in Europe.
As for the rest:
