A pay cut might be on the cards, but the country has a lot to offer

The most westerly country in Europe, Portugal sits at the end of the Iberian peninsula, bordering Spain and the Atlantic Ocean (although, given its location, it is considered to have a Mediterranean climate). The republic is home to around 10 million people – including the Atlantic islands of the Azores and Madeira – with most living in capital Lisbon or northern powerhouse Porto.
