Study places Portugal in 4th place, tied with Croatia
With the increasing stresses of everyday life, people’s holiday priorities these days centre on places where they can relax – and according to a new study, Portugal is one of the most relaxed countries to go to…
The study created a system in which the number of walking trails, spas, meditation centres, yoga, pilates and national parks per 100,000 people were evaluated, says SIC Notícas today.
Iceland and ireland came out tops in the ranking due to their “abundance of nature, with diverse landscape”, followed by Malta and then Portugal and Croatia both in 4th position.
Portugal’s score of 7.33 out of 10, shows it has “almost 33% more walking trails and 15% more parks” than neighbouring Spain, which came in 9th position.
The study set out to present Europe’s 15 most relaxing countries. The list is as follows:
Iceland
Ireland
Malta
Croatia / Portugal
Norway
Andorra
Denmark
Greece / Switzerland
Spain
Finland
United Kingdom
Latvia
Slovenia
The only moot point is that the study is attributed to a … gaming site, that more habitually focuses on the world of gambling. Why Slot Tracker has diverted from the norm, and presented this study is not explained, but it could be to guide followers whose habits have sent them into such a state of frenzy that they really need to find a place in which to relax.
