Thanks Nick looking forward for the next Video .
Thanks Nick for all the work you put into this. Really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll be able to love to Portugal in the coming years
You're welcome T.Ta I really enjoy it, although it's a lot of work 😎
Thanks Nick, your videos are very interisting and informative, looking forward to part two.
Thanks for watching João 👍🏼
I love the overhead terrain videos and maps, for the directional orientation regarding borders and coastlines!
Thanks Ruth, I've always enjoyed geography. A good map puts everything in its place ☺️
You never fail Nick, great video. Looking forward to part 2. What a spectacular sunrise and the countryside is beautiful.
Hi Hilary 🖐🏼 Thanks, I love those sunrises!
Thanks, Nick! This is exactly the video I wanted. I can’t wait to move to a country home in the Algarve, and will be working with you and Pedro when I do. I just love your channel and appreciate you so much!
Thanks Karin, we should try and get Pedro to come onto the videos. He's a bit shy 🤣
Nick, thanks for the info. You are really dialing in the quality of your videos. Each new one bests the former. Cheers mate
That's awesome to hear! Cheers 🍻
Really looking forward to part 2. Thank you!
Coming soon (how long can I keep saying that for 😎)
Thanks Nick, fantastic video, it really speaks to my heart. I can confirm everything presented as I bought a house just a few minutes away from Salir in Querenca right in the middle of Nature. The silence here is only interrupted by birds, humbling bees 🐝 and sometimes wind and (of course) barking dogs….
Looking so much forward to part 2!
Keep on your amazing work!
Ralph
Thanks Ralph! Great to hear from you again. 🖐🏼
Great job Nick! Actually a good idea to be a short drive from the coast. Especially if there's a small town with a few restaurants and such. Looking forward to part 2.
Coming soon! Thanks for watching Larry. 👍🏼
Great info! Looking forward to part 2! 👍
That lunch in part 2 makes my mouth water (just thinking about it)!
Great Nick, loved it, looking forward to part 2……Portugal is so beautiful, feel blessed to live here …👍😎
I fully agree Sheena. Glad you enjoyed it!👍🏼
It’s really good to show all aspects of Portugal. I’m sure people wanting to make the move will find this really helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, how's your RUclips channel going?
@@AlgarveAddicts Great! Far exceeding anything I expected. Loving doing it.
Thank you Nick - great video! I am not yet ready to move to Portugal, but am looking for mountains, hiking trails and being closer to authentic Portuguese culture. Looking forward to seeing the full house! Thank you again.
Thanks for watching Yvonne, I'll get onto that edit asap. 👍🏼
Lovely and can’t wait for you to release the video tour of the actual HOUSE …!!!! :)
It's coming soon!
Hey Nick great video. Can't wait to see the house. Hope someday you can also show us a bit more of the inland Algarve regional, especially Boliqurime, Tor, Querenca, Alterna, Monchique, Ameixial, and the likes. Basically bits drivable from the Faro airport, markets, beaches but still not as busy, just like Salir here.
Hi Amit, have a look at my video on the "back roads of the Algarve". It covers Querença, Salir, Alte and Paderne.
Dear Nick… We love it! But we bought it before seeing this video!
What a surprise to see our new home selected !
Maybe we will get to meet you guys too. Eager to see next show with a walk through.
Jay
Congratulations Jay, we'd love to chat!
Hi, Nick! Randy here from the Philippines. Nice video. I haven't had a glimpse of the Part-2 yet.
Hey Randy, check it out, it's fun.
All that beauty and cheaper! You did good. Really enjoyed this, eye opening.
Thanks Vyvien, it's crazy isn't it? #nobrainer
I like the Algarve. When l holidayed in Portugal from 2009 onwards, l decided to learn the basic language, so I'm able to get by. I need to learn more but it helps to know some in order to ask for things etc.
Can't wait to come to Algarve again!
It's a great place to live too!☺️
Excellent stuff Nick. Well done, waaayy better than the Algarve Tourism official info
Cheers Gus
Thanks to Nick and the realtor for a great video which really gave me the atmosphere of Salir and its environs. I'm looking forward to viewing the rest of the house. You would need a car. On the plus side the accommodation you showed is far more suitable for year-round living rather than a small apartment on a complex, which though having some advantages would drive me personally up the wall.
Glad it worked for you, Steve. 👍🏼
I moved to salir nearly 30 years ago! Those were the days
Hanging on for this one!!
Let's hope it doesn't disappoint, Hector!
@@AlgarveAddicts just left me anxious to see the house inside. I was curious as to why to video was shorter, nice one!
It's because I did a rough edit and it came out to 27 minutes long and thought that might be too much. So I sliced it in two and wanted to keep you hanging for the next one, Hector 🤣
Great info of rural living in Algarve part 1 much appreciated for your efforts and great quality video specially the scenery clips and explanation looking forward for part 2. love your videos
cheers
Tony
Thanks Tony, I appreciate your watching them 👍🏼
Thanks, Nick. Great views and perspective on the countryside! BTW, is there a story behind the broken paddle on your wall?
Thanks Howard, yes I fought off a shark with it. Hehehe, just kidding, I'm a big guy and the cheaper paddles break pretty easily in the surf. I've learnt to invest wisely in good quality paddles.
Part 2? Can't find it. 🥰 love your channel.
Here you go ruclips.net/video/U2rBLVEzcPg/видео.html RUclips sucks a bit like that, doesn't it?
Great vlog nick lovely to see Fiona featuring, ATB to you both
Thanks Charlie, did you do a bike tour with her?
@@AlgarveAddicts I did indeed 🇵🇹👍
Fantastic!
Torrada com um galão escurinho my favorite love it.💞 miss this so much.💞 😢😢
Sim! "Galão escuro" is what I wanted to ask for but forgot 😓
me too! Can't beat it!
I do have “saudades” of a galão e torradas in a café early in the morning.
Thanks Nick for this, upcoming and past videos. As an EU citizen, I’m not effected by changes (effective January 2022) in the Golden Visa geographic requirements but would think the area of Salir would remain under the new Golden Visa rules. Correct? Thanks again.
Hey Luccheese20 I recognize your profile image. 🖐🏼 If you're an EU citizen you don't need a Golden Visa...
Thanks for all your videos, I definitely learn a lot. I'm sure this is probably not the best way to ask for some advise. My sister and I are planning a trip to the Algarve the first of May 2022. There are so many areas to choose from so hoping for some advise what area you would suggest to stay. We are planning to rent a vacation home hopefully close enough to city center to walk, but do plan on renting a car to try to see as much as possible. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks Annie
Hi Annie, thanks for the kind words and enjoy your trip. Just pick a central place and travel around a lot. If you'd like some in depth advice on where to live I do paid calls www.algarveaddicts.com/chat
Finally got to Rocha. Looks like you nearly stumbled into the small Cauldron cave.. the big cave is roughly in the middle , east of the wall. Its fenced off thoufh to protect the bats.
The northern end of the wall is still standing in several places to the North edge.
Oh, so the caves are in the walls?
@@AlgarveAddicts The small cave, called the Cauldron, is right near the cliff edge and path.
But the big cave, is in the middle of the top flat area about 30 metres East of the wall.
Cheers, I'll go on a mission next time I'm up there.
@@AlgarveAddicts keep an eye out for the natural iron people sized pellets which can be found on top and are quite specific to the area.
Theres also a much bigger open Cave 3km north of loule, just south of the river. Pretty worn out but you can get a local to give you a tour...
And the Loule Salt Mine tour of course.
It's sad but we have to keep the good stuff secret, since the stallictites get robbed out and sold as lamps and candlesticks .

We are now living in the Algarve after a helluva process to get here and we are looking to move to the rural algarve too eventually
Congratulations, each person's story is different. I'd love to hear yours, it sounds like it could fit a movie!
@@AlgarveAddicts Perhaps we can, let me know. It sure has been an epic!!
Sure, get in touch if you'd like to share www.algarveaddicts.com/contact
Looking forward to seeing the house!
Keep your eyes on my channel 😎 Coming soon.
Nick, would be good to explain in the second part the restrictions on the land, this has a large plot but most of it is rustic land except the walled and fenced bit by the house so unless you want to farm it the rustic land isnt any use to anybody other than to look at and the downside maintaining it. we have looked at a few recently and sought advice the rustic classification makes it impossible for any rural tourism from what we have been told.
You're spot on. The only thing you can do with it really is grow an orchard.
My soul longs for me to live in the country.
Best place in portugal. ALGARVE!
I have a house near salir......well its closer to Loulé than salir😁. Enjoy the true algarve.
Yes!!! Truly Algarvian.
Hey Nick thanks so much for the great vids! We are considering moving to Portugal from SA with our two young children but after watching other vids we are concerned what activities there are for children. Maybe a great vid would be on what Portugal has to offer children :) Just an idea..thank you for all the content!
Hi Chad, it's very much an outdoor environment down here, so sport and other outdoor activities abound. What facilities are you expecting?
I think with us being JHB based we always looking for ways to entertain the kids and don’t realize how much the ocean and coast has to offer. We are wanting to know if there are facilities like play parks, trampoline parks, skate parks, aquariums, zoo’s, fairs etc that we can take the kids to if it’s not a beach day.
Yes, lots of play parks (just about every town has a few), there are water parks (Google Aquashow, Slide and Splash, The Big One and Zoomarine) and zoos for the summer (Zoomarine again and Lagos Zoo and Krazy World). Also a fair bit of mini golf in Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura and other areas I'm sure.
Thanks so much for confirming, we were concerned after watching another channel. Like most young families leaving SA we are just trying to find the best place to get our children settled and give them a good future. Thanks once again for the great channel.
You're welcome Chad.
Have you posted part 2 showing the house? Thank you
I have Wendy, it's here ruclips.net/video/U2rBLVEzcPg/видео.html
@@AlgarveAddicts thank you!
Obrigado for this good look at the interior, but what about the eastern coast? Borderia? Carrapatiera? Coastal, but near huge nature preserves.
The West Coast? Yeah, I'm getting there. To be honest I can't wait as I love that area so much. Maybe your comment has just prioritized my video of that area. I need to film Aljezur, Monchique, Sagres and all the stunning little hideaways in-between.
@@AlgarveAddicts Good gawd, I don't know my west from my east. Yes the west coast of course. Thanks Nick for all the info. Looking forward to the WEST coast coverage.
Nick, are there any motocross Tracks inland?
There sure are, check this out for example Cortelha Motocross Circuit

Good job
I’m moving to Portugal in March from Montreal Canada
Planning to buy a house in eastern Algarve not sure if it’s going to be the coast or rural
You think you can talk about closing fees and taxes when we buy a house there?
Or maybe you already have a video about it and I haven’t checked it out yet
Thanks
Richard
See you in March
Hi Richard, I haven't done a video about all the real estate details. I may do one in the future. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
👍👏
Ok,. don't forget to also give som rent prices to, thanks form Egil. Norway.
Alright, I'll contemplate putting those in. Actually I was planning on making a rentals video. So many people really struggle with that.
I loved the video. What time did you wake up in order to climb the mountain in time for the sunrise? You are a wild man! Thanks for making the video. I would rather live in Quarteira and visit Salir but I understand why people do it the other way around. Muito obrigado. Ate a proxima.
Hehe, yup, I woke up pretty early. Probably about 5am. You're right, some people would choose to do it the other way around, different strokes for different folks ☺️
💯
Thanks guys 🖐🏼
I think anywhere you go in Portugal you should be fine with just English. And in the cities you'll thrive.
Can you please tell me what is the cost of small house in this areas you had shown in the video?
Thanks alot.
It's sold now, but if I recall correctly it was €244,000
One reads much recently about lots of Brits abandoning their retirements in Spain - "leaving in droves" maybe hyperbolic, I don't know. Do you see a similar trend in Portugal?
No. People are moving here in droves. We have three new neighbours, two Dutch families escaping Amsterdam, and a US couple from Silicon Valley. We ourselves came over from Spain after enduring the Franco-esque lockdown where the State bared its fangs via the Guardia Civil. I wouldn't return there to live. Portugal on the other hand has been wonderful for the 13 months we've been here and we (my family) loves it.
Yes, the expat newspapers echo that sentiment: www.portugalresident.com/number-of-brits-living-in-portugal-soars-over-34-from-2019-to-2020/ There are more articles as well.
The barking dogs is a problem for me. It’s the 1st thing on my list, to tell a real estate agent, it’s a deal breaker.
The dog situation has dramatically improved over the years, as a result of Govt intervention, but you're right to look into it when buying. Deal breaker for me too...
Yup, it's tough to get away from the dogs in the country. Luckily we've never had a problem where I live.
@@jedw9983 Hello, the barking would bother me too, a lot. I like peace and quiet. Please explain how this intervention works. Thanks.
When I was a kid, in the 70’s, most people kept their dogs outside, and the sound of barking was normal. Over time, people keep their dogs inside more, in my part of California, so I hear it less. Plus, the cat craze, and I live in a condo (barkers not allowed).
@@Tuber_Dog 28 years ago I lived in the very north of Portugal for a short while, in a small village near Viano Do Castelo. My abiding memory were the pack dogs roaming the villages, barking all night. I hated it. I mentioned to my Portuguese friend that the situation had improved dramatically and he replied that the Gov't "intervened and sorted out the situation". Make of that what you will, but I guess it'll be a somewhat sad story.
I'm in the hills of the Algarve and I can hear dogs bark as I write. But not pack dogs. It's part of life here. If you don't like dogs, choose your house carefully, be mindful, that's all.
The land is so, so dry. Not nearly as lush and lovely as farther north.
Yup, more rain, more green.
Here are a few things you might be lucky enough to avoid : the hunters who tramp all over your land as if they own it ; the hunters who put poison down to kill anything that might interfere with the artificial rabbit warren they've just built ; the poison season ( January ) when your dog or cat might get poisoned by anyone who has a disagreement with you ; the local who still traps little birds ( I once caught ours with half a bucket full of dead robins ; the abandoned dogs ; the puppies or kittens in the rubbish bins ; the builders who dump their rubble wherever they can get way with it..... I'm sure there's more.
I don't really have the energy right now to respond to all of these points but if you don't have a fence, people are allowed to walk through your land. Come to think of it, if you haven't picked your fruit within 30 days of harvest time anyone else is welcome to help themselves to it (or something pretty close to that).
@@AlgarveAddicts I think someone is puling your leg. Try nicking people's crops where I live and you'll get shot. And all the orchards and plantations are putting fencing up to stop theft. Carobs in particular have become the target of thieves recently.
It's an old traditional law. Ask any of the older generation of locals about it.
Disappointing that you never got to the home and price that you talked about so much at the start of the video.
Hi Kirk, there's a part 2 that I did a week later. It's probably not apparent now (which is a problem) check here ruclips.net/video/U2rBLVEzcPg/видео.html
Nice Flat earth views.
😉
