I can be in another country, on foot, in around 90 minutes, 20 minutes with the car (and I live in the historical center of the city, from where I work it's 5 minutes). And not only that, crossing the border means it's one hour earlier!

Actually, it's quite normal for people around here to go to Portugal to have lunch or dinner.

The truth is crossing the border and crossing the whole of Portugal to reach the beach is much much shorter than crossing my country to go to Barcelona, or even just go to Madrid, which is in the middle of the country, more or less.
