Valongo, Portugal

With a population of just over 101,000, Valongo is a small Portuguese town that offers little to excite the average expat. The local roller hockey club may be a source of pride, having won the Portuguese First Division in 2013-14 and the Super Cup in 2014, but the town's limited domestic and international accolades provide little indication of broader appeal. Bureaucracy appears to be a persistent headache, with the club's B-team having won the Portuguese Third Division as recently as 2018-19. Overall, Valongo seems best suited for those content with a sleepy, provincial existence - hardly the glamorous European lifestyle many imagine when moving abroad.
