Expert Info

on 25 Feb 2015

Hello Portuguese expats!
I'm interested to know about the best areas to live in Portugal as an expat. It appears that many people either move to one of the small villages in central Portgual (around the lake Castelo do Bode is popular) or the Algarve. I imagine the life style varied wildely between the different areas, and no doubt there are other places too that we have not considered? What are the pros and cons of moving to Portugal and these different regions, either as a young family or as a retiree. Many thanks.
