: Olá! Welcome to Portugalist, your guidebook to Portugal. I grew up in Portugal and, although I’ve lived all over the world, Portugal has always managed to draw me back. I created Portugalist so that others could get helpful and accurate information about Portugal, and so that I could share my love for this great country with others.
: I am in my early sixties and having been made redundant after a career in education, find myself retired and living with my husband in the Algarve.We bought a just built house here with an undeveloped garden and this blog is the story of our transition to a different way of life and the development of a garden from scratch.
: I’m a Canadian who traded corporate Toronto for a slower life in Northern Portugal in late 2013. I started this blog in 2002 and it’s since grown to more than 6,000 posts, covering a lifetime of topics.
: Renovating a house in Portugal
: In 2014 we followed our dream and bought a house in the sun. This blog follows our journey through decision making process, buying, running a holiday let and preparing to retire and live permanently in our dream home. Join us as we experience the highs and the lows. We hope it will inspire others take the plunge...

: My husband and I first discovered the wonderful Portuguese approach to food and life in 2004 on Madeira. After many Madeirian holidays, we decided in 2013 it was about time we discovered mainland Portugal.
: Much as I enjoy Portuguese cities, I get a real kick from searching out the hidden treasures and try to avoid touristy places and experiences.

the buyer is liable for all the purchase costs. In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, you need to have a good understanding and be able to budget for
