Start near the middle of Portugal and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 39.5108° S, 171.6321° E, in Tasman Sea 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is New Zealand 🇳🇿, roughly 144 km (89 miles) north-west.
The closest settlement of any size is Blenheim, New Zealand, about 297 km (185 miles) from the point.
