An Expat Talks about Living in The Algarve, Portugal

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

The Algarve

If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.

If there is any area in Portugal where English IS widely spoken, it's the Algarve, because of all the tourists. We have lived here for a year and as yet speak very little Portuguese but have never had any problems communicating with anyone. In fact if you try in your broken Portuguese they often reply to you in English, as their English is probably going to be a lot better than your Portuguese! Translation apps help also.
