Portugal: Becoming resident in Portugal:

Hello from Ireland, fellow retirees! We're finalising our plans for becoming resident in Portugal - not only for financial reasons but also to avail of its good, Mediterranean weather. Two obvious options for us would have been Malta and Portugal, but, seeing as we lived in Portugal before while motorhoming through it, we'd have a definite preference for it - and especially Lagos, which seems to have everything. It's interesting that so many retirees have pets, like dogs. We're in the "same boat" and, while we'd love to bring our dog we're in the happy position that we can leave him behind with friends. I suppose another fundamental question for retirees in these circumstances is "How long every year will we be resident in Portugal?" I'm guessing many retirees will live in Portugal for approximately 6 months, in order to qualify for Portuguese residency, and then return home, probably in the summer months. Ye, Lagos has everything e.g. long and short sandy beaches, city living, promenade, good golf courses, proximity to other Algarve resorts and about an hour from Faro, the main Algarve airport. I'm wondering what are the English-language newspapers and are there any English-speaking expat groupings in, or around, Lagos.
