My hubby and I are considering moving to Portugal and have several questions: We would like to make contact with British expats who are already retired and living in Portugal. We want to know about British pensions in Portugal; Health Services; cost of living and importantly, about buying a place to live there, for example a "good" area with facilities on hand but also easy to enjoy. Happy to give email address on request.
