O M G, you really cant imagine how rural this place is! We have a higher than average carbon footprint just from all the oxen carts in the street. We have a great internet infrastructure because no one connects to the internet, so its tops like 5 people online per day and you have the whole country’s internet just for you. /s The only reason at this point i dont say to visit Portugal is because we already have enough tourists to the point it disrupts normal day to day life in all the the major cities. Portugal is still on the poorer side of Europe but even so way ahead in terms of services and IT/Tech. Every one has to submit their taxes online so i don’t know how this map came to be. You see old folk quite active with their cellphones doing all sorts of stuff.
Its all about the what and where. I cant stand city traffic, but an empty winding road feels like freedom. The car you are driving also makes a lot of difference. I personally only buy cars that are fun to drive. I had a smart roadster and now i drive a miata (mx5 where i am from).
