Foreigners buying land there are because it gives them a path to European passport or at very least nearly instant permanent residency. Not because they want to live in Portugal. Portugal requirement is "just" €280,000 which is extremely low - their neighbor's, Spain, requirement is €500,000. Whichever country has "good" real-estate prices and golden visa requirements to match will have foreigners buyers.
