Thanks for embellishing Portugal. As a local, I'm not as bullish as you. Portugal is nowadays a paradox: it has 2 contrarian political systems. One for locals (pro-socialist) and another (raw liberal) to attract foreign money. E.g: Foreign pensionists don't have to pay taxes, €500k 'investment' (buying an house is enough) will grant you citizenship, Websummit (and consequently raw capitalism) was seen as the Truth by government. All this done while rising taxes for local middle class (freelancer's taxes are a joke), advocating a rigid job market and other ideologic measures that promoted a brain drain like never before. Yes, Portugal is a great contry for hollydays and retirement, but, sadly, it stops there. However, if you afford to live as a semi-retired (like many remote devs) it might worth it: sun, sea, food and safety (on the places where you'll be at least).
