I realized hahaha, I know it is very rare that the temperature drops below zero só I think it is more a 10a then a 9b 

It is 10A hands down, while my climate is between 10A and 9B. Actually it is nominally 10A but plants do not care about average temp min every decade, because they get killed by absolute min every 20 or thirty years, unless climate has changed meanwhile.

Check local weather stations. I think I found one near where you live on Weather Underground, see here.  You can look up temperatures from previous years in the “Weather History” section. It’s possible you have a microclimate there with no frost, but I checked several stations in your area and all of them show temperatures below freezing every winter.

USDA map of Portugal here, take it with a pinch of salt. USDA zones don’t translate very well to other countries. In fact, they’re not always that reliable even within the United States.

Strange when I look at accuweather and search for January 2024 and 2025 is the coldest temperature in these two years 3°C and the warmest even 22°C
