Cost of Living in Ericeira

We play hopscotch with the dog turds on the streets and sidewalks. Ericeira is amazing, and beautiful, our favorite place, but they need more grassy patches for dogs, with baggies and trash. They also need a cleanup crew like in downtown Lisbon to wash the poo and poo streaks off the cobblestone. It's very dangerous to walk your own shoes into your home, especially if you have kids who will then contract flesh-eating bacterias from feces, such as Staphylococcus Aureus. Too many people will just let their dogs defecate right in the middle of the walkways, and just walk away not even batting an eye. Even those who do pick up after their dogs, it leaves a nice streak, which then hardens into the ground for weeks, eventually turning into a layer of brown dust that covers the sidewalks.

Other than this, I highly recommend Ericeira. It's one of the best places to live in Portugal. They just need to start being responsible with da poo.

Ericeira will be the Canggu of Europe, I think.

It's the surf capital of Europe, so it has the surfers. It has the hipster cafes with nice coffee, although they are quite tiny and need to be bigger.

It has amazing restaurants, especially sea food but also typical hipster food.

It has the same type of people you'll see in Canggu and Bali.

Right now there's a coworking space called Salt but it's small, cramped and insufficient. What Ericeira needs is a big moder well designed coworking space (like Tropical Nomad in Canggu).

It also needs slightly more nomads to come and stay, as they're mostly in Lisbon now and probably Ericeira isn't on their radar yet. Once Corona ends in 2021 and millions realize they can work remotely I think Portugal's coasts will flood with remote workers.

And Ericeira will be the main spot.
