We play hopscotch with the dog turds on the streets and sidewalks. Ericeira is amazing and beautiful, our favorite place, but they need more grassy patches for dogs, with baggies and trash. They also need a cleanup crew like in downtown Lisbon to wash the poo and poo streaks off the cobblestone. It's very dangerous to walk your own shoes into your home, especially if you have kids who will then contract flesh-eating bacterias from feces, such as Staphylococcus Aureus. Too many people will just let their dogs defecate right in the middle of the walkways, and just walk away not even batting an eye. Even those who do pick up after their dogs, it leaves a nice streak, which then hardens into the ground for weeks, eventually turning into a layer of brown dust that covers the sidewalks. Other than this, I highly recommend Ericeira. It's one of the best places to live in Portugal. They just need to start being responsible with da poo.

Good nightlife a lot of young people too. Cozy old town center. Avoid clubs with credit card scams, avoid any invites to extravagant clubs

Was recently in POZNAN and saw there was a huge pro-abortion movement in the old town + outer parts of it. My first impression was that the city ressembles a lot with PRAGUE and WARSAW. Hills + big squares with covered tram tracks. The pedestrian area is really nice. 1 or 2 days would be enough to check the city.

Not safe for women? I feel very safe here and walk late at night from the train station. Like any town there are the gypsies and drunks but no, no real problems.
