Not assessed for accuracy.
“There’s no contradiction in loving Portugal at a very young age and being more interested in abroad than in Britain.”
The claim is not asserting a concrete event or cause; it is assessing the compatibility of two attitudes and saying they are not inconsistent. That is a value/coherence judgment rather than a factual state of the world.

From article
Though you recall that you fell in love with Portugal at a very young age and for many years were more interested in ‘abroad’ than in Britain.
Well, there’s no contradiction in that. Remember that 1960s and ’70s England was very different to now, wasn’t it? I remember going to France when I was 13 or 14 and somebody putting a bottle of Perrier on the table. Fizzy water? We didn’t do things like that. So, I think you can like and celebrate differences between peoples whilst understanding what you are yourself. Differences are wonderful. All my life I’ve been fascinated by people of different countries, people of different classes. You know, I like people. I’m a naturally pretty gregarious sort of person.
