My googling tells me that if you list Europe's largest cities the only ones in the top 30 on the Mediterranean are Rome and Barcelona. Barcelona was founded by the Romans in the first century B.C.

not Portugal.
Although not really a football (soccer: the one where you actually use your feet) superpower, this nation did embarrassingly eat Portugal for breakfast.

yeah I guess my clue was not specific enough there.
I'm referring to the greater population of the city, not the specific municipal boundary.
as an example Paris (not the answer) is 2.1m only, but actually is about 8m plus.

to help you out, it is neither Rome nor Barcelona either.

My googling tells me that Portugal's biggest defeat in real football was by England in 1947. But England was not on the Mediterranean last time I was there.
More recently Serbia beat Portugal 2-1 last year in something of a surprise. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...d-serbia-uefa-world-cup-qualifier/8619986002/
But is Serbia on the Mediterranean? My googling tells me that Serbia does not have a coastline on the Mediterranean but it is often included on lists of Mediterranean countries. Huh?

if you can work out the team in white you are basically 90% of the way to the answer

My googling of this image suggests that it comes from UEFA Euro 2004, hosted by Portugal, in which Greece beat Portugal 1-0 in the final. Angelos Charisteas scored the winning goal.

Yikes! I will have to take more pictures. There must be some dinghies somewhere in this shot:

looks like Camden Harbour, viewed from Mt Battie.
sometimes google image search is too smart, and local knowledge or experience can be superceded by a click.

In honor of Maine’s 200th anniversary as a state this month, I offer up something a little different than my usual natural history, mixing it up a bit with Maine’s literary history. In February I participated in a poetry reading to mark the 128th...
while I love exploring my own country, this thread has reminded me how wide, vast and varied the world is. Just from dinghy sailing spots here my bucketlist is ever expanding

Shebeen is correct! You can see the indent for Rockport and to the distant right the Owl's Head peninsula. To the left, Vinalhaven. Great view from up there.
