that explains a lot!  

rural Portugal (for me, having grown up in Lisbon, everywhere else in P  is "rural")  has got lots of interesting facettes

Eu gosta de campo. E vide rural e bem. But my Portguese sucks. I have been ill most of these ten years so I wasn't really up to the challenge learning the language well. I think now it's slowly improving but PT is now out of my reach. Very sad as life there was for me far supperior then up here in the North.

I take that for granted. The beaches, the sun, the vegetables, the wine, ...

And thats something I have never done there, I have enjoyed everyday. And I have been sad many days to see how the influence of Brussel destroys more and more of that Portugal that I love most.

I just loved my chicken on the market from a nice little fire between a few stones. And now? Where have the markets gone? Nobody goes there anymore. Brussels has destroyed so much of Portugal that won't even be seen till in the next 2 or 3 decades its almost criminal.

yeahhh...instead of pursuing VW  and the like for their life-destroying cars, they chose to pursue the last independent agriculture. LIDL & aldi & tesco and the like don't want to ever hear of nice poultry grown on a field without having been fed tons of chemicals, and the lobby did a fine work in Brussels

someday they'll manage to forbid azulejos, inventing some anti-hazard rules, so that everyone must buy plastic shit...

I am more afraid that they will further institutionalise the eucalitus industry and turn Portugal in a wasteland.
