== Paldea simply isn't correct right now ==
Porto Marinada is most definitely not Porto except in name. It seems to be a mix of Costa Nova (Aveiro) and Nazaré (the lighthouse matches) or Ponta do Sol (The layout matches).
At most, a parallel can be made with Mercado do Bolhão, a very popular traditional market in Porto, but such place is not exclusive to that city.
So, if anything, Porto Marinada is a mix of all of these.
Cascarrafa, as an (ironically) Spanish person pointed out to me, very much resembles Porto Côvo, Portugal, despite the discrepancy with the location.
Mainly the white and blue houses and sidewalk patterns, but also small details like the bridges seeming to have what looks like calçada portuguesa.
The square patterns also use the dark and white color scheme of calçada portuguesa.
I just compiled some of these comparisons here: https://imgur.com/a/gWg3bF7
Medali is most likely Mérida, famous for its roman theater and, yes also has traditional yellow and white buildings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9rida,_Spain)
Cascarrafa not matching isn't as bad when you consider how Mérida was placed so much to the north, not to mention, of course, Barcelona.
Also, I'll add that the small islands on the West Paldean Sea could very well be the Berlengas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlengas)
