In Covilhã, there are rooms for rent for 700 euros and, in Funchal, a studio costs more than 200 thousand euros
Protests organized by the Movimento Porta a Porta took place in Covilhã and Funchal this Saturday 14 November 2026 as part of a national demonstration for the "right to housing." Residents highlighted that high-end student housing and speculative real estate prices are making rentals unaffordable for both students and families in these cities.
