I have a real soft spot for Lisbon and Nazare - hoping to live there one day after I retire.

Lots of similarities with the last city I lived in - San Francisco: Big red suspension bridge that spans the gateway to the ocean (same vendor), cable cars running on impossibly hilly streets, cosmopolitan, diverse LGBTQ+ friendly people, amazing food, nearby vineyards, blossoming tech scene....

I lived in both San Francisco and Lisbon, and the only glaring similarities are the two bridges and the many hills. The Lisbon I love is much more charming, less money-oriented, less pretentious, and safer. The sad thing is that it's becoming much more like America. The more it tries to become like San Francisco, the sadder I become.

It cannot help that more and more Americans are moving there.
