With lexical movement or locative verbs such as "go to", "take to", "live" or "stay", the locative argument tends to be used after the verb when there are no special non-manual accompanying markers. Typically the argument indicating place is accompanied by an index.

    "I've always lived in Santa Coloma."
    "Next month I'll go to Portugal."
