Lifestyle and Climate
It’s no secret that Portugal has a wonderful climate,
stunning beaches and incredible golf courses, but did you know
that it has an abundance of hidden gems? Stone age relics, roman
temples and outstanding vineyards and of course the mild mannered
easy going Portuguese people. The natural advantages of a sunny
country with diverse geographic features have turned Portugal
into an ideal destination for water sports and playing golf,
so once you have identified your needs it will be easier to
select the region in which you want to live.
The cost of living is relatively lower than in the UK, particularly
for food, drink and travel, and even in city areas you’ll
enjoy the slower approach to everyday life.
Before you go to Portugal, it’s really essential to try
and learn the basics of Portuguese, even if you are heading
for a mainly ex-pat area. Many Portuguese people speak very
good English, but you ought to be aware of what is going on
around you. By learning basic Portuguese, you’ll find a
whole new world opens up to you, from conversing at the market
to understanding legal documents and socialising with new Portuguese
friends.
