Good, I live near Porto!
Some people dont now that a small country like Portugal exist in the peninsula simply becouse we have been wining wars cince the Romans came (2000 years).
In Aljubarrota (near Batalha) we killed a complete generation of Spanish nobles during a cavalry scharge by the Spanish. They went against Portuguese Pikeman covered by British Longbowman. There is many blood from British brothers on my land too. We will be forever greatfull to them.
Did you like wine and food?

For me Portugals sweet stuff were the best part. Pastel de Nata was a particular highlight! Yes Portugal is usually off the radar, people here in Sweden prefer going to Spain. We stayed at Nazare though mostly so it was nice being away from the main tourist route (Costa del Sol and the Canaries are the main popular destionations for tourists from here).

The point is friend, would you be needing it ever? You are probably the most peaceful country today in Europe; tucked away facing the Atlantic Ocean and having no issues at all with your only neighbour Spain.

Many countries with big defence budgets would kill to be in your position of having no need to have a military at all.

Honestly, you could enter into an agreement with Spain & France to defend you and completely focus on just a modern police force.

G-A-A-S-S-P-P-P!!? Did you really just say that? Seriously?

portugal is least expensive country of europe and also has moderate temperature which reduces high cost for heating in winters

Countries have been at each others' throats for centuries in Europe. With the advent of EU, it is very much possible to make that happen.

If Switzerland can do it, not impossible for Portugal.

Besides, almost all European armies today are outward looking rather than looking to fight each other.
