Yes, but the COL is dramatically lower (and lower than other major city centers in Europe), its comparatively low crime, and the quality of life for the price is quite competitive.

I'd move out there in a heartbeat...although it does help that I have some passable Portuguese comprehension :)

Agree, if I ever become fully remote and leave the UK I'd definitely consider Portugal, the quality of food, beauty of the cities & countryside, people are all great, costs are ultimately incredibly low for living in a European capital, and the public transport is pretty good if you're not walkable to wherever you're going already.
