As far as food and drink you've got to be a little on your guard otherwise reasonable enough but accommodation-wise can't say as was staying at friends but don't think it's too excessive.
To live there though you've got to belong to the yachting club or somesuch with homes in the millions-range although the atmosphere's far from snooty and with every second person either a Portugeses or Polish immigrant it has a distinctly cosmopolitan feel!

On our flight we were effectively taking off over their equivalent of lands- end (a lone lighthouse on a rocky pinnacle) but luckily had comfy seats to distract us from any of the dangers of reality.
