Mercearia Portuguesa is a daily Portugal news publication and lifestyle magazine written for the people actually living here — expats, remote workers, retirees and new residents across the country.
Our name means “the Portuguese grocery store” — the small, well-stocked shop where you find exactly what you need without the noise of a supermarket. That’s the idea behind the site: news you can actually use, delivered daily, without a wall of advertising getting in the way.
What we cover
Politics, business and finance, lifestyle and entertainment, education, and travel — the five areas that most affect life in Portugal for a foreign resident. We report on Portugal broadly, not just one city or coastline; we start with the news that’s easiest to get right from national sources, and we’re expanding into more local and regional coverage over time.
No advertising
We run without banner ads, ad networks, or sponsored placements dressed up as articles. If that ever changes, we’ll say so plainly, here.
How our news is made
Our news articles are original pieces written with the help of AI, based on reporting from named Portuguese and international outlets — never a copy of the source article. Our editorial team reviews articles before and after publication. Full detail on this process is on our Editorial Policy page.
Our editorial team
Each coverage area has a named editor responsible for it. You can see their full profile, background and every article they’ve published from their author page, linked on every article they write.
Corrections
We get things wrong sometimes. When we do, we fix it and say so — see our Corrections Policy for how to report an error.
