For Tuesday 18th August 2026, Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news (recorded live in Almada) reports that Portugal has climbed to 8th place in the 2026 Expat Insider ranking for foreign residents, praised for quality of life and safety while bureaucracy and the job market remain challenges.
Other headlines include two Palestinian girls arriving in Portugal for prosthesis and medical care, the Valongo wildfire now dominated, a new €50,000 project to open an Alentejo Bronze Age settlement to visitors, more than 950 firefighters still mobilised on four northern wildfires, and the government preparing measures to crack down on “façade stores” used in illegal immigration.
