In areas where this has happened as part of government-sponsored anti-pollution initiatives, the number of older people admitted to hospital has dropped by as much as 11 per cent, and winter death rates have dropped by a similar amount.

Around 90 minutes’ drive from Lisbon, you’ll find the small town of Fatima – home to the luxury eco-hotel, Luz Houses. Set amongst a wild garden filled with trees and flowers, this 15 – bedroom hideaway has all the charm you’d expect to find at a boutique hotel. Built using sustainable materials, the rooms are rustic and chic – a mix of industrial and continental styles in an open plan setting that feels serene and haven-like. It’s the kind of place you could come for a few days of uninterrupted sunbathing or to finish off the book you’ve been meaning to write. Aromatherapy and herbal medicine is available in The Cave and tours run by locals and horseback riding is available on request. The hotel uses low-consumption lighting and solar panels to keep itself going, as well as recycled rainwater and cisterns to reduce water waste.
