Lisbon is pretty nice!

[Whatsthenews]

Portugal, although mainly the coastal areas, is very popular with the British for holidays and also moving there to work or to retire.
It's a very poor country- has the highest poverty levels of any western European country- and like other European countries it's not getting any better unfortunately. Beautiful country.

I would put it this way, it is a relatively poor country, by European standards at least. Still, I think most foreigners have the wrong image of this country.

And Portugal is getting better, it is not Greece.
