Based on Faro's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:

This city has everything you could possibly want in a city (besides a beach of course).

Restaurant and nightlife scenes are unparalleled as someone else said in another comment. Did you know Madrid has more bars per capita than anywhere in the world?
