What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"Life for expats and digital nomads in Portimao is generally relaxed and enjoyable. The city offers a warm climate, beautiful beaches, and a laid-back lifestyle that many find appealing. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other European cities, making it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. The local community is friendly and welcoming to foreigners, and there is a growing expat community. English is widely spoken, especially in the service industry, making it easier for expats and digital nomads to navigate daily life. Portimao is also known for its vibrant food scene, with a plethora of restaurants serving local and international cuisine. The city has a good infrastructure, with reliable internet, making it suitable for digital nomads. There are plenty of leisure activities to enjoy, from water sports to hiking and golfing. The city's rich history and culture also provide plenty of opportunities for exploration and learning. However, it's worth noting that while the pace of life is slower, so too can be official processes. Things like setting up bank accounts or dealing with bureaucracy can take longer than expats might be used to. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in Portimao offers a good balance of work and leisure, with the opportunity to enjoy a high quality of life at a relatively low cost," wrote a member who made the move to Portimao, Portugal.
