Unaffordable

Residents should not become victims of speculation and mass tourism

Lisbon’s housing crisis has escalated into a political nightmare. House prices as well as rents for new leases have more than doubled over the last ten years. And prices are still climbing. Idealista – a real estate marketplace and the largest property portal on the Iberian Peninsula – put the average sale price in the capital at more than 6100 euros per m2, with ongoing rises in every part of the city.

Rents from about 15 euros per m2 in outer districts (e.g. Santa Clara) up to double in the city centre ( e.g. Santo António). Essential workers, like teachers and nurses, are being pushed out of the centres of the  major European capitals, with Lisbon among the most extreme cases. In a country, where the minimum wage is less than 1,000 euros, a monthly rent of 1200 euros for an apartment represents an unaffordable burden for most people.

Causes are many. Conversion of apartments into Airbnb, demand for property from foreign residents – including that linked to golden visas – fast rising rents, and the displacement of residents from the city centres, alongside a structural housing shortage. Current construction meets just over a third of demand and public housing offers little buffer, since social housing makes up only 2% of the country’s stock; one of the lowest in Europe! A Banco de Portugal study argues that social housing reduces demand pressure and helps moderate rents.

The frustration is growing and visible on the streets. In October, tens of thousands marched through Central Lisbon, adding pressure on the centre-right government, whilst thousands rallied outside parliament on October 27 against the government proposals and brutal police action against activists.

This month, housing activists set up tents in the heart of Lisbon and Porto and are refusing to go away until their demands are met. For residents’ associations, the crisis is not only reflected in rising rents, but also in a decline in the resident population and the transformation of traditional neighbourhoods into areas increasingly geared toward visitors.

The government is of the opinion that progress takes time, and blames the previous Socialist government for rent and price rises between 2015 and 2023.

Critics are not convinced and emphasize that the housing package of the government failed to curb an 18% rise in house prices in Lisbon this year.

Vhils

Carving portraits out of walls

Vhils – Alexandre Manuel Dias Farto – is a Portuguese street artist born in 1987 near Lisbon.
He studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London and nowadays lives and works between London and Lisbon. He is best known for his unique technique in urban art: carving portraits out of the city.

He began as a teenager with conventional graffiti and around 2011 developed the low-relief carving method that made his name. Using chisels, drills and jigsaws, he strips layers of plaster and paint on aging walls to reveal striking human portraits hidden beneath the surface.

The result looks almost archaeological, as if the face had always been there, waiting to be discovered rather than added. His subjects are typically ordinary and anonymous people rather than celebrities, reflecting his fascination with the neglected lives embedded in a city.

He gained international attention when his work of a face carved into a wall appeared alongside a piece by Banksy at the Cans Festival in London in 2008. Since then he has taken his art global, working across Europe, Asia and the Americas. He treats destruction as a creative process rather than an act of vandalism.

Vhils’ art engages with themes of urbanisation and globalisation, often responding to the specific history of a place. In Brussels, he created a mural blending imaginary from several European democratic revolutions, including Portugal’s Carnation Revolution, as a response to the far right. He has also expanded beyond walls into new materials – in a 2022 solo exhibition in Seville, he presented tile-based pieces for the first time, and more recently produced large sculptural works.

His achievements have been widely recognized in Portugal and abroad. A major retrospective – ‘Strata’ – at Munich’s Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (Strata) traced his artistic evolution from 2005 to 2025 across a range of materials and techniques. In 2023, the Boutique Hotel ‘Artsy Cascais’ was inaugurated with a facade designed by the artist.

This year, Lisbon’s MUDE Design museum marked 20 years of his career with an exhibition of his most famous editions. His work also appeared in institutional spaces once considered untouchable by street art, including a mural for UNESCO headquarters in Paris.

Today, Vhils stands as one of the most distinctive figures in urban art, an artist who doesn’t add to the city’s surface – like his contemporary Bordalo II – but excavates it.

By the way, do you know that Lusolobo is turning 10 this month?
The first blog – in Dutch – was published on October 28, 2016 and called ‘ huurders’ (tenants).
An issue that is even more relevant today as it was ten years ago.

Offal

Portuguese consume twice the recommended calories !

Some foods in Portugal still feature a ‘snout-to-tail’ culinary tradition, a practise of cooking that utilizes every edible part of the animal. Organ meats like liver, heart, kidney, tongue, tripe (stomach) are often hidden in sausages or served in specific regional varieties.

Iscas com Elas is iconic to Lisbon, where it was brought by the Galicians, who arrived in the 18th century to work in the capital. A traditional dish consisting of thinly sliced liver marinated in garlic and wine and cooked with onions. They are served with boiled potatoes (referred to as ‘elas’, meaning ‘them’).

Arroz de Cabidela – rabbit or chicken rice cooked with the animals blood and vinegar -is a traditional speciality from the northern Minho region of the country and documented since the 16th century. 

Tripas à Moda do Porto is a thick stew of white beans, sausages and pork stomach, famously associated with the city of Porto but widely known across the country, where it is called Dobrada.

Sarrabulho, a traditional northern Portuguese stew or thick soup – when thickened with flour called Papas de Sarrabulho – made from pork offal (liver, heart and kidney), and seasoned with cumin and animal blood.

Chicken feet is a traditional ingredient in the Portuguese cuisine, used to make rich broth for soups,  such as canja de galinha (chicken soup) or stewed with garlic, onion and spices.

Moelas is a spicy dish made with tender chicken stomachs, slow cooked in a rich sauce made of tomato, onion, garlic, white wine and piri-piri peppers.

—>The perfect accompaniment to Portuguese meals are cheese and bread.

According to the Taste Atlas the Alentejo bread is part of the Top 10 best breads in the world. Its ‘rustic and thick crust that contrasts with the soft and airy crumb inside’ earned it 7th place on that gastronomic platform last year.

The top cheese from Portugal – Queijo da Estrela – was two years ago called the best sheep cheese in the world. A semi-soft cheese made from the milk of Bordaleira Serra da Estrela and Churra Mondegueira breed of sheep. Milking is done by hand, after which the milk is heated, salted and curled using thistle extract.

The cheese has a creamy interior, yellowish-white in color, while its flavor is sweet and slightly sour. It is the country’s oldest traditional food product with international acclaim. In the 13th century, the king of Portugal opened the first cheese market in Celorico da Beira, in the Serra da Estrela mountain range, where the cheese is still produced today.

 The Portuguese are among those, who spend the most on food in the EU. Eurostat data – reported by the weekly newspaper Expresso – show that the country ranks 1st among  the 27 member states, if the costs of living were the same all over Europe. 

 One wonders if all that eating has any relation with the fact that 6 in every 10 Portuguese are missing teeth?

Dogs

Dogs have owners, cats have staff

Besides Fado, Football and Fatima, Portugal is well-known for its native dogs.
Certainly no lap dogs, but rather working dogs with specific roles in hunting, guarding or herding livestock.

Estrela Mountain Dogs are large hairy dogs, bred as livestock guardians, and indigenous to the Serra da Estrela mountain range in central Portugal They are surprisingly good housedogs, and believed to be one of Portugal’s oldest breeds. Estrelas (‘Stars’) are intelligent, alert and possess a strong sense of duty. In the past these dogs have been used to protect flocks from Iberian wolves, which are themselves a protective species.

Portuguese Sheepdogs are a medium-sized breed of dog of the herding type and one of the indigenous regional dogs of the country. The breed is nicknamed ‘cao macaco’ (monkey dog) for its furry appearance and lively attitude. Their lack of undercoat makes them less resistant to extreme weather as a working dog. In the past the breed was used for herding cows, sheep, goats, and horses in the Serra de Aires in the Alentejo region.

The Portuguese Water Dog, also known as the Algarvian Water Dog, or Portuguese Fishing Dog is a breed originating from the Algarve. They were taught to herd fish into fishermen’s nets, retrieve lost tackle or broken nets, or act as couriers from ship to ship, or ship to shore. In general, they are black but some are brown or white. An intelligent breed, obedient and brave. They have a single-layered coat that doesn’t shed, perfect for those with allergies. The dog was the chosen breed of US President Barack Obama, who had two of them.

Castro Laboreiro dogs – also known as Portuguese Cattle or Watch dogs – were bred for livestock guarding and originate from Castro Laboreiro, a small townin the northern mountains of the country, near the Peneda-Geres National Park. It is a loyal and courageous guard dog. Although devoted and intelligent, it possesses a strong territorial personality. The modern breed is descended from a very old livestock guardians, which worked with livestock herders in the mountains, defending against wolves.

The Podengo or Portuguese Warren Hound – the national sighthound – is a bat-eared dog with almond-shaped eyes and an affinity for game. As a breed, the Podengo is divided into three size categories: small, medium and large. The coat is either short and smooth or long and wiry. They are the result of selective breeding for hunting , particularly rabbits.
In the Middle Ages, hunting dogs in Portugal were collectively known as Podengos de Mostra (‘pointers’) and used to kill rats in sea-going sailing ships.

Rafeiro Alentejano – also known as the Portuguese Mastiff – is a powerfull flock guardian dog originating from the Alentejo region. They come in many colours, but always with white markings. In southern Portugal, they were used as livestock and estate guardian, especially at night. They are calm, protective and independent. A Portuguese dog of this breed – named Bobi – was initially confirmed by Guiness World Records to be the oldest dog ever (nearly 32 years) but after further investigation by veterinary surgeons, the records were annulled.

Words

Trade routes disappear but words remain.

Over the centuries, Portuguese explorers, traders, and colonists have left marks on words used around the world.

Take the word Albino that comes from the Portuguese word albino (‘whitish’). Portuguese explorers coined this term in the 17th-18th centuries to describe persons with an unusually white skin they encountered in Africa. The word spread from Portuguese into Spanish, English and other languages to describe the genetic condition of albinism – the lack of melanin pigmentation in skin, hair, and eyes – in people or animals. 

Cashew comes from the Portuguese caju, which itself was borrowed from the Tupi (the indigenous Brazilian language) word ‘acajú’, referring to the cashew tree and nuts. The tree itself was later introduced by the Portuguese to parts of Africa and Asia.

Caste derives from the Portuguese word casta. Meaning ‘lineage, race or breed’. Portuguese traders used casta in the 16thy century to describe the social divisions they observed in India (particularly in the Hindu community), applying the term already in use for breeds/lineages of animals. The word caste, became the standard term for describing India’s hereditary social hierarchy.

Cobra comes directly from the Portuguese word cobra, which is derived from the Latin ‘colubra’ (meaning snake). The full Portuguese term is actually cobra the capelo – literally ‘snake with a hood’- referring to the spread of the snake’s neck ribs into a broad hood when threatened. The Portuguese encountered these snakes in India and other parts of Asia during their colonial expansions.

Coconut doesn’t sound very exotic until you know where it comes from.  In the past Portuguese sailors called it coco, a word for ‘skull’. Once you notice the three dark holes in the shell, it is difficult to ignore.

The word Dodo is commonly traced to Portuguese doido, meaning ‘fool, silly or stupid’. Portuguese sailors, who were amongst the first Europeans to encounter the flightless bird on the island of Mauritius in the early 1500s, reportedly gave it its name because the dodo showed no fear of humans and seemed clumsy or foolish – it had evolved with no natural predators, so it’s didn’t flee. 

And what about the word Fetish? It derives from the Portugues word feitiço (meaning spell) which traders used to describe sacred or symbolic objects – believed to possess spiritual or magical powers – they encountered in West Africa during the Age of Discovery in the 15th century.

Flamingo comes from the Portuguese flamengo, which traces back to the Provençal word ‘flamenc’ which meant both ‘flame-colored’ and ‘Fleming’ ( a person from Flanders). Flemish people were stereotyped as having ruddy or fair, flame-like complexions, so the word played on both meanings at once. Portuguese sailors encountering the bright pink birds in Africa and the Americas, adopted this name because of their flame-like colouring.

Many people associate Marmalade with Britain but the word comes from the Portuguese word marmelada, a preserve originally made from ‘marmelo’ (quince). The name survived, even as the recipe evolved over time.

Molasses has a similar story. It comes from melaço (‘honey-sweet’) and carried along the trade routes that moved sugar, spices, and slaves along the Atlantic.

In several languages, the word Oranges points back to Portugal.
In Greek ‘portokali’, in Turkish ‘portakal’ and in Arab ‘burtuqāl’.
When oranges began to circulate widely, they were associated with Portuguese traders. For many people the orange fruit was quite simply called ‘Portugal.’

Portuguese tanque means ‘reservoir’, used for water storage. Portuguese colonizers in India used tanque (cistern) to describe large water reservoirs. This usage was picked up by English speakers in colonial India, eventually entering English as Tank, referring to a container for holding liquid.   

Even further away, in Japan, there is Tempura, introduced in the 16th century by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries who abstained from eating beef, pork and poultry during Catholic fasting days in each of the four seasons of the year. Instead, they ate fried vegetables and fish. This was the first contact of the  Japanese with fried food. The name is probably derived from the Portuguese ‘tempero’ (act of seasoning, of adding spice to food).

And finally – as a closing remark – a word pointing to a remarkable phenomenon but without any connection to the Portuguese language whatsoever.
Nüshu – meaning ‘women’s script’ in Chinese – is the only exclusively female writing system in the world that emerged from the marginalisation of women in southern China, passing exclusively between mothers and daughters, and between sisters in Jiangyong, a remote mountainous region in the Hunan province.

Calçada

Portuguese artistic pavement under threat

In almost every village, town and city in Portugal you will find parts of the unique traditional Calçada Portuguesa pavement made up of black and white decorative cobblestones.
This masonry art craft is unique to Portugal – mainland, islands and former colonies – and an iconic part of its cultural craftmanship.

It has its first origins from the Romans who used stoned and mosaics to make roads. Later, the Moors – during their time on the Iberian Peninsula between the 8th and 12th century – added to the craft by making geometric patterns on their floors.
However, it was in the 19th century that the art developed further as the first large calçada area was created in 1842 at St. George Castle in Lisbon.

Over time, the Calçada Portuguesa has consolidated itself as a fundamental element of the urban landscape, contributing to the Portuguese history and culture whereas the Portuguese Calçada Association is bidding for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status for the art and knowledge of how to lay Portuguese cobblestones.

In the meantime, the Lisbon Paver’s school – which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year – is ‘virtually defunct,’ argues Nuno Almeida, President of the Municipal Workers Union (STML).

The trade union leader points out that in the past the school fostered a great deal of knowledge and helped recruit workers – called mestres calceteiros (paving masters) – but ‘over the last 15 years there has been a dramatic reduction in the provision of comprehensive training courses, which is also why the school has failed to attract the attention of young people.’

He further emphasises, that there is a trend towards outsourcing these services with private contractors being hired instead of recruiting staff onto Lisbon’s City Council permanent staff. ‘We strongly urge the Council to reinstate the school not only as a training initiative, but also as a means to attract workers. At present, apprentices are thrown straight into practical work without any prior training and have to learn from their colleagues.’

With only 20 paving masters nowadays, most already of advanced age, ‘the profession of paver is at risk of disappearing from the city, not solely due to the threatening closure of the school but also because of the lack of recognition and appreciation of the workers within the public sector and the issue of low wages’, he explains.

Joana Baptista – the councillor responsible for Public Spaces at Lisbon City Council – takes a different view, declaring that the Council has been strengthening its training programme and is recruiting new staff. ‘There is even an ongoing recruitment initiative for 20 vacancies to double the number of professionals specialising in Portuguese paving, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year’, she declared.

Rabbits

Recognition of the Iberian rabbit as a ‘distinct species’ prevents its extinction

International research from Portugal and the UK say the European rabbit is in fact two species split two million years ago, the Iberian one now being in decline.
Until recently, scientists took it for granted that only a single species of rabbit lived on the Iberian Peninsula.
A study – ‘When taxonomy lags behind evolution’- published in Biological Conservation now calls that into question.

According to the Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO) of the University of Porto, it is in fact a case of two species with separate evolutionary histories: the Iberian rabbit (Oryctolagus algirus) and European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

The former occurs naturally in Portugal and south-western Spain, while the latter dominates the eastern part of the Peninsula and is the source of the populations introduced in Europe, Oceania and the Americas, where it often behaves as an invasive species.


The two animals diverged roughly two million years ago, when they became isolated in different refuges during the Quaternary glaciation: one in the Ebro Valley, the other in the Gulf of Cádiz. Since then they have barely interbred to any significant extent, despite looking very similar at first glance.

The differences are not confined to genetics. There are profound biological differences. The Iberian rabbit is smaller, with darker fur, smaller litters with lower population densities  and earlier sexual maturity than the European species. They also differ in their gut microbiome and the parasites they harbour.
The authors point to precedents: giraffes long grouped as a single species until genomics revealed that there are in fact four.

While the European rabbit populations remain stable – or are even increasing to the point of causing agricultural damage – the Iberian rabbit is in marked decline in Portugal and western Spain and meets the criteria ’endangered species.’ The problem is not just statistic. Game restocking usually releases European rabbits – which are more abundant and prolific – into areas where only the Iberian species previously lived. That can accelerate its replacement through competition.  

The issue goes well beyond the animal itself.
Rabbits are prey for the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle, so its conservation status shapes that of much Mediterranean wildlife.

‘It is no longer possible to manage rabbit populations in the Iberian Peninsula as if they constituted a single biological entity. Recognising these two species is fundamental to developing appropriate and tailor-made conservation measures and preventing a single evolutionary lineage from continuing its decline’, emphasis Nuno Ferrand, director at CIBIO and one of the authors of the study.

Politics

Increase in number of immigrants from other Portuguese-speaking countries

At the inauguration of his centre-right government in May 2024, Portugal’s prime minister Luis Montenegro, promised that all Portuguese citizens would have a family doctor by the end of 2025, but this promise seems increasingly out of reach. This year there were over 1,6 million patients without a GP, 60,000 more than two years ago.


In June, the National Statistics Institute (INE) revised the Portuguese population figure upwards. There are in fact 11,4 million people in the country, of whom 14% (1,6 million) are foreign residents; more than a third of them Brazilians. Particularly the shift in recent years has been significant: between 2021 and 2025, the number of foreign residents doubled, with an crease of 850,000.


The data also show that the growth of the South Asian population is slowing down and the Indian community was overtaken in 2025 by the Angolan community – which now outnumbers 100,000 citizens. The growth in the number of citizens from other Portuguese-speaking countries (PALOP) has been significant over the past five years.

As had already been the case in 2025, the Portuguese economy began 2026 at a considerably slower pace than seen in the previous quarters. In the first three months of this year, growth was virtually zero, with the positive contribution from domestic demand ( increase in investment) being offset by a negative contribution from external trade (increase in imports)


The government’s 2% growth target is therefore becoming more difficult to achieve, requiring an average quarterly growth of around 0.5% until the end of the year. It will be necessary to regain market share in exports and hope that the inflation does not spiral out of control and the European Central Bank does not raise interest rates any further.  

House prices continue to rise at a much faster rate than the European Union  average. The House Price Index rose by 17.6% in 2025, compared with 9.1% in 2024.The EU average last year stood at 5.5% (3.3% in 2024). And growth in the first half of 2026 remains strong (17.8%), although slightly below the record high in the 4th quarter of last year( 18.9%).

The limited supply of housing (for purchase and rent) – despite an estimated 250,000 vacant properties – the shortage of new construction and the rise in demand from young people as well as foreigners, account for much of this.

The marking of secondary school exams – which determine entry to higher education – is under fire. There are 166,000 pupils and their families, as well as thousands of teachers, who now harbour doubts about how marks were being awarded. But there is more, such as the structural shortage of teachers and the ministry’s top-to-bottom reform in higher education


But there is also some good news in a country where educational qualifications are still not as high as should be: there has been a slight increase in the proportion of young people intending to apply to university. It helps that the entry requirements are less stringent this year – just one exam, rather than the two required last year.

Concern

Worldwide there is a ‘silent majority’ in favour of action on climate change

The world is on fire and climate action very popular. So why is it not realised?
Research shows that the vast majority of people around the world want more to be done to fight the climate crisis but mistakenly assume their peers do not. Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed.

The data comes from a global survey – published in the journal Nature Climate Change – that interviewed people across 125 countries and found that 89% were of the opinion that their national government ‘should do more to fight global warming.’ People in China – the world’s biggest polluter – were among the most concerned.

It also asked people if they would ‘contribute 1% of their household income to fight global warming’. In almost all countries, people believed only a minority of their fellow citizens would be willing to contribute. In reality the opposite was true: more than 50% of citizens were willing to give 1% of their income, including Portugal, where eight out of ten Portugues prioritise the environment above the economy.

Further analysis of the data for the British newspaper The Guardian showed that public backing for climate action was as strong among the G20 member countries as in the rest of the world. These states, including the US, China, Saudi Arabia, the UK and Australia, are responsible for three-quarters of the global carbon emissions.

‘Worrying about climate change is something people are doing largely in privacy of their own minds – we  are locked in a self-fulfilling ‘spiral of silence’, states prof Cynthia Frantz, at Oberlin College in the US.
A decades-long campaign of misinformation by the fossil fuel industry is a key reason the climate majority has been suppressed.

To unite the ‘silent majority’ and allow the collective voice to become more audible in the political arena, we should focus the climate debate more on intergenerational issues – such as legacy passed from grandparents to grandchildren – and less on individual contributions, says Anabela Carvalho, professor in the Department of Communication Sciences at the University of Minho.

But youngsters can also do their bit as shown in Sweden, where participant-led young planetary stewards perform paid summer jobs ‘inspiring hope for their future.’ Ideas come from the young people themselves and comprise projects such creating habitats (frog ponds) or a new stretch of hiking trail, building bird boxes and insect hotels, and running community workshops in local libraries.

‘I have a pretty pessimistic world view’, 18-year-ola Oona Verveld – one of the stewards – explains. ‘But through this initiative I feel I can contribute in ways that will have an impact. I don’t just watch climate change happening, I’m somehow active in improving it later on.’

Portugal fined for environmental failings

Portugal has been fined 10 million euro’s by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for failing to comply with the Habitats Directive (adopted in 1992), that aims to protect over a thousand species, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and plants. It also has been ordered to pay a compulsory fine of 41,250 euro’s a day until it complies with a previous court order from 2019.

The daily fine corresponds to a penalty of 750 euros for each of the sites, that the court stated had ‘still not be been protected’ despite the Portuguese Government having been ordered seven years ago to comply with EU laws. The fine will be reduced once a site is brought into compliance.

The court said in a statement that ‘these are particularly serious breaches of EU environmental law, in which Portugal has persisted’, whereas ‘its territory hosts rich biodiversity – including 99 habitat types and 335 species covered by the Habitats Directive .´

The European Commission has battled for years to try to force Portugal to conserve and protect habitats and species in areas that should have been designated for conservation under the EU Habitats Directive, that established Natura 2000– the world’s largest ecological network .


Under EU law, sites of community importance include Peneda-Geres – Portugal’s only National park – the natural park Lithoral Norte and the Minho and Lima rivers. Also included are Valongo, home to rare fern species and an important site for the golden-striped salamander, the Serra D’Arga mountain and Corno do Bico, a protected landscape.

The Government was ordered by court to comply with the EU Habitats Directive  in a case brought by the European Commission in 2019 after allegations it had failed to designate sites of community importance as special areas of conservation (SAC).

Under the directive, countries had to designate sac sites that needed protection within six years, with accompanying measures to protect rare habitats and species. In 2019 the court found that Portugal had failed to fulfil its obligations to designate 61 areas under the Atlantic and Mediterranean biodiversity classification.

Although a spokesman of the government declared that ‘’very little remains to be done for the work to be completed and to fully comply with the obligations arising from the Habitats Directive’, environmental NGO ZERO (Association for a Sustainable Terrestrial System) criticised the government for not taking the implementation of environmental projects seriously.
