May! Go to Portugal first, goto the council office, get a fiscal number, half an hour, then go to the general office and ask for a five year temporary residence, 15 euros, a few simple questions, the marina address suffices, and you are then a temporary resident of Portugal for the next five years.
But all the information posted here so far says the 90 day restriction in other States will still apply. Even worse, it was suggested on one camper van forum that the time spent in EU country of residence e.g. Portugal, could count as time spent in Schengen, leaving zero time in the other States. Having done various searches, I can't find anything to back that up.
