Coworking in Portugal About Portugal

Think of grilled sardines and salted cod, a beach culture and one of the world's biggest tourist destinations and you have Portugal the land that flows into the Atlantic Ocean perched on the Iberian Peninsula bordering Spain. The border of Spain and Portugal is considered to be the longest uninterrupted border in the European Union. The country includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Madeira and Azores. The warm client, wonderful food, world class wine, and creative spirit lends well to the coworking scene with spaces dotted across the entire country.

Historically rich (dating back to pre-historic times) with a maritime empire that was invaded and fought over, much of its architecture dates back to the 1500s. Once a global empire and the first empire in the world, the country monopolized the spice trade, it was left crippled from war and lost its world dominance. A developed country with a high-income economy and a high standard of living, Portugal is the 5th most peaceful country in the world. Despite being the first country to decriminalize the use of common drugs in 2001, the sale and distribution is still illegal, but you can buy the ingredients to grow them at home from many quirky shops dotted around towns.

With a population of 10,374,822, 67.6% are connected to the Internet with 54% of them playing on Facebook. Portugal may not be racing ahead in the technical stakes of digital startups, but it is happening. The country is touted as being the perfect place for digital professionals to hang out, where it is easy to connect with likeminded souls at networking venues and coworking spaces. With its plethora of beaches to either devote some sun worshipping time on, or to grace some of the biggest waves in the world at Nazare on your surfboard, Portugal is a playground. You can go diving or snorkeling and for the adventurous soul cliff diving may appeal. It is easy to pig out at one of the food festivals held annually or just meander around stuffing custard tarts in your mouth in between tapping on your laptop, any time of the year.
