Portugal: Expat communities in the Algarve:

As you can see, their are many rude people who think that it is their place to educate people about their plans. Just because one person is rude doesn't mean that all are rude. The old saying is " if you don't have anything nice to say keep quite. For what it is worth, many third world nations have expat communities for safety and many will swear by it.Portugal is not a third world nation and thus much safer and to most their isn't a need to stick together.

Portugal: Daily costs seem high:

I will be moving to Portugal for the first time prior to visiting. In talking to expats that live in Coimbra Portugal, the two live on 1800.00 a month without a car and they don't want for anything. Like everyone is saying, it depends on what life style you want to live. They use public transportation and it is cheap. I hope you find what you are looking for .

Portugal: which town to live in.:

I will be coming to Portugal to live for a couple of months to see if I want to retire there. I am 62 years of age and very active. I have 1700.00 a month to use for my living expenses. I want to keep my rent in the 250.00 to 300.00 range. I need to be able to walk every where I go. I like what a big town offers without the big town. Close to the ocean would be cool. I forgot to mention I have to be close to a hospital as well. Any help will be appreciated. I don't speak the language yet but will put in the time to learn.

Portugal: Town hunting:

I am 62 years old and ready to call Peru my home for 3 months to see if I like it . I am moving from Eugene Oregon. I get rain from about oct/nov to about mar/apr. I want to live somewhere that has minimal rain, clear skys and a town close enough to walk to to shop, eat ect... I love art shows, film, music and food. A town with festivals ,parks natural beauty,and so on and so on. I have 1800.00 a month to budget but want to stay in the 200.00 a month rent range. Thanks. Matt

Portugal: peace of mind.:

I am a retired man of 63 and i have decided to live my life out in another country. I have been looking for quite sometime. My focus is on Portugal right now. If I moved to South America I think we can all say that prices are low and will stay that way for awhile. But when i think about living in Portugal, what scares me is when will Portugal catch up with the rest of Europe. Can I enjoy myself on 1500.00 a month. Thanks .Matt
