Once you have moved to Portugal then comes the reality of actually living here. Most of us will have only ever spent holidays in Portugal before making the move and it soon becomes clear that life in Portugal is not all about lazy days by the pool and barbecues on the terrace.
There is still plenty of time for the pool and the barbecues but there are also many other aspects of day-to-day life that you need to get to grips with to make sure you get the most out of life in Portugal.
There is no need to feel daunted by new challenges that you may face when you are living in Portugal as we have probably been through them too and are happy to help with advice and information. Read about the truths, realities and benefits of living in Portugal on our blog Click Here.
Hello, my name is
Samantha Milner and I moved to the beautiful Algarve
