My partner and I are coming to Portugal in March for five weeks to explore with the intention or relocating in the next couple of years. We will be in Lisboa, Tavira, Sintra, Coimbra and Evora. We are hoping to connect with expats in these regions/towns who would be willing to have coffee with us and perhaps help us get acquainted with each of these locations as a possible places to retire to. Can anyone direct us to how we might connect with folks open to chatting with us. Would be greatly appreciated. We are from Vashon Island, Washington. Thank you so much for any assistance or guidance.

To Francesca122's question about how to reach others who are now living in Portugal: Post on the Facebook groups "Expats Cascais" and "Americans in Portugal-AmP" (NOT the group Americans in Portugal~amp...it is horrendous!). Many people post on these sites, stating when they'll be in which cities, and people reach out to them to arrange coffee, lunches and chats.

Hi, croonerjim,
I will be in Tavira between January 8-17. And then in other locations in the Algarve for 2 months. Any chance for a visit? I would appreciate!
