Why Did We Move to the Centre of Portugal?

- We get lots of questions about where we live in Portugal. What location? What's the local area like? How many people are there? Where are all the cars?
We live in the interior of Portugal - pretty much right in the center (and we'll take you to the actual geographic center in this video). But the best way to explain what it's like here and why we moved to the interior of central Portugal is to show you.
Join us for a kind of travel-in-our-local-area travel video and let us show you a small part of this beautiful country.

Muito bom ver o meu Portugal pelos olhos de gente boa❤
What a profound and poetic reply to “Why did you move to Portugal?”
Thank you for showing some beautiful places in Portugal. Even for a Portuguese like me, it's a new look.
Me, too! I am from the island of São Miguel & Sertã is idyllic
It was strange immediately recognizing the town I grew up in. Guess one good thing is that it will never change, so you're all set. Enjoy it, guys! 😉
im 44 born in 1977, my dad was born in hawaii in 1929 so it wasnt a state yet. My grandparents are from Portugal Inever met them but i always wanted to vist Portugal. Any way. I found the newbys and from there i cam upon your videos. I love watch video from Portugal . I may not speak the lanaguage but i love renevation and seeing the land and the towns .S o thank you. Your video are great.
My wife and I lived in the Algarve for more than 30 years, I've been watching you guys for a couple of years now, and just had to visit central Portugal, Tomar was our first interest, however we moved close to Ferreira do Zezere, last year. This video is a perfect reflection of this beautiful place....
I think if we’d not found our wonderful farmhouse we would have ended up somewhere close to Tomar. We love quick overnight trips there, and the views near FdZ are amazing
These series of videos where you go explore the country are just so lovely. Thanks for doing them and sharing. I am from Portugal and we try to go back every year. It is what fulfills my being and helps me get through another year in Canada. Retirement is looming and we will be spending more time there. You’re calling me to what I still consider home. Thank you for all you do.
made me reflect, that draw to move to a rural, quiet place was to Ireland in the 70s,80s. Cottages and smallholdings were affordable, life was uncomplicated and quiet. What happened since? Hardly anybody can afford to buy a house, people everywhere, cost of living crisis is as bad as mainland Europe. So glad that I can shut out the hustle and bustle of modern Irish life and my little cottage serves me well. I still get ideas from your projects, especially gardening. Lets hope that Portugal doesn't go the Irish way, but I suspect the larger towns have already
I imagine there’s some of that happening across Portugal, but here there is a lot of available rundown / affordable property, and not too many people wanting to take on the work required to bring them back to a liveable state. As that changes, or the population increases, the prices and availability will change
A beautiful splash of culture never hurts.
Great vid! Traditional Portuguese meals always include soup, most often vegetable. In my parents day, hearty soups were the meal, and fish and homemade cheese or sausage the main sources of protein. I still have soup daily. It’s overlooked as ‘peasant food’ but I guarantee that once you start incorporating Portuguese soups into your diet you will feel healthier.
Beautiful area. Forty years ago my husband and I did the N2 all the way to Faro on a motorcycle. Best honeymoon. Stunning views all the way. It always amazes me that such a small country has so much diversity in scenery, food, customs. We now live one hour north of Lisbon in a small village 25:47 and are loving it. Always look forward to Saturday mornings to see what you two have been up to. ❤❤
You have discovered a truly beautiful place and a wonderful lifestyle.
I made the move to Panama 5 years ago and have NO regrets!! The pace of life is so much better here, and I built a natural home from scratch using similar methods as you have like lime plaster. It is a rewarding way of life 🍃
We are almost neighbours in Portuguese terms. Near Pedrogao Grande, also in a small village. All of the reasons you moved here resonate with us. We feel so lucky to be here as you probably do. We are only just over 6 months into our adventures. Thanks for your videos.
Same here. Also living in a small village near Pedrógão Grande. We have been here for 2 1/2 years now. Every time I drive through the mountains I realize how lucky I am that we came to live here.
Hoping to follow all of you soon from South Africa 😊
@@celiasnyman2885 Go for it. You are not going to regret it.
Thanks for the tour. Enjoy your enjoying your new home.
If you both aren't being paid by Tourism Portugal, you should be. Your relaxed and simple stroll, sip, and eat video has made me want to book a trip just to see that magnificent scenery around that huge lake. wow!
😍
Amen to this!
I really miss your beautiful vlogs, watching your relationship and have often wondered about life beyond your gorgeous home. I have loved every minute of your renovation. But this video has been amazing thank you to both of you xxxx from Australia 🇦🇺
Your warm, respectful and loving relation towards each other makes me believe in marriage
The spanking happens off camera 😂
It’s less about marriage and more about being respectful humans 😃
Having a bit of paper doesn't bring anything automatically by way of a loving relationship.
I totally agree
A respectful, productive partnership I daresay
Saludos desde Chiapas, México. 8 totally get why you live where you live. It's beautiful and serenely quiet. Bendiciones desde Chiapas.
What a lovely lovely video. So great to see the vast views and that beautiful blue blue water.
🚙Even though I have been travelling and 'living' all over Portugal for nearly two years I really enjoy this kind of video.
😍 I just can't get enough of the country.
😬 Sometimes the lack of people is really eerie... I feel like there's been an apocalypse and I'm the only survivor!!!
👀The view points everywhere are one of my FAVOURITE things. Sometimes they are on the map and sometimes they are a delightful surprise.
T H A N K S for sharing...the drone shots were stunning :)
Greatly appreciate the wider view. I couldn't have imagined such he beauty and old world charm.
I live in a small town in the USA. No Vinyards here...so I buy my wine (which is a 30 minute drive because my county is dry...no liquor except restaurants). My wine is in a box...with a tap. You are in paradise. Very beautiful! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸
Alcohol ban but plenty guns permitted. Illogical.
You must come to visit Portugal!! I think you will love the weather, the places, the food, the wine.. we have hundreds of types and made of many many casts... 😁🍷🍷And personally the people!
Come to visit us, you will not be sorrow!! 🙏❤️
Wow, beautiful video. I follow you from the beginning. I adopt your plantations, and the reconstruction of the house👏. Thank you for taking me with you on this wonderful tour. The view of the lake from the viewpoint is delicious and incredible 🥰. The city is very quiet 😊. Here in Brazil we also eat everything with rice 😊, vegetables, greens, tubers, grains and meats. Our agriculture is very varied and complete. My son lives there, in Porto, in the north, you need to know it, it's a fascinating city, by day and wonderful by night, you have to spend 2 days there 😉😊. It's very busy, it has restaurants from all over the world, Arabic, Japanese, Mexican, Vietnamese, vegetarian on every corner 😄. I wish you all the best. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 🥰 Thank you.❤😊
hahahahaha, the importance of the yarn store was noted
So lucky to have a good one on my doorstep 😃
What a beautiful magical place. Thank you for sharing the beauty and wonderful people so worth the watch
Yes the drone footage was awesome. Beautiful spot. Loved this episode ❤
*Kylie & Guy, thank you for showing us the surrounding areas of where you are... a very beautiful and lovely scenery.*
Thank you for sharing. I have taken two scouting trips and realize now I need to check out the central part of Portugal. 😼
It's so quiet and peaceful !
I can totally comprehend how that both of you enjoy this country’s tranquility and spectacular scenery after living and working in big cities .. Excellent video !! Durban SA 🇿🇦
Beautiful country, gracious people, great food, peace and quiet, what more can you ask for.
This was wonderful. Thank you. I’m living vicariously through your videos.
My last real vacation, pre-pandemic, was to Portugal and this has me pining to go back. We did make sure one of our stops was in a small town in the interior, but clearly missed out on lots.
Thanks for sharing! We’re loving Central Portugal too, so much heritage and an astounding amount of lovely places. And as you say…the VIEWS! So amazing to see and admire. 💕
Loved seeing part of where you live with food and wine of the area.
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Thank You.
BEAUTIFUL . It looks like a great place to do some kayaking .
Loved seeing your corner of paradise!
Thank you so much! That was lovely! I can see why you’re so drawn by this way of life and why you’re working so hard on your homestead.
Guy, Kyle. 😍 one of the best videos you have done ❤ 👍🏴
Last summer, me and my family, we took a week to travel the all N2 North to South, and one of the those days we stopped at Vila de Rei for lunch and we did it at that very same restaurant named "COBRA" we became fans, excellent service with excellent food. Enjoy
Great camera work and editing. Just lovely. Thanks for the look see and explaining just where you are.
Now get back to work!

What a beautiful place and the video was fantastic! Loved watching and really enjoyed seeing this area!
WOW! you guys this is beautiful I never seen this in Portugal and I was leaving there close to Viseu, Mangualde my Country is peaceful thank you God.Thank you so much 💗☮️
From CHAVES to FARO the N2 is the most important route in Portugal. Enjoy this beautiful country!👍
Portugal is so beautiful! Thank you for the tour. I so enjoyed your visit to the winery as well.
We really enjoyed this episode Kylie and Guy! Thank you for providing a little tour of your paradise. We'll be over in our own later this summer in the Tomar/Ferreira do Zêzere area. The nature around Castelo de Bode is a such major draw for us. Peace of mind.
I've never been to Portugal, but is so funny how familiar all this is to me, being Brazilian myself.
In the Northeast of Brazil we have a dish called Buchada, that came from the Maranho and Bucho.
Great video! Very nice to see you guys enjoying Portugal.
OMG you two did good choosing the area you did to live. Astonishingly beautiful, all of it - scenery, villages/towns, food, people. I haven't oo'ed and aah'ed my way through a video like this in a very long time. What a heavenly place on Earth.
OMG...pastel de nata ice cream. Amazing!
It’s great that you have stopped to smell the roses. I really enjoyed this vlog.
Its so beautiful there! Living in a big city for ten years I can totally understand why you moved there. Still I hope that southern Europe will quickly adapt strategies to cope with water scarcity. Climate change is really taking off in Portugal and Spain and water will be the most important resource from now on. Droughts and bushfires wont be anomalies so the area will most likely change. Its really good to see you guys being aware of this and taking it into account when planning your house renovation and gardening projects.
Edit: Oh my god the vineyard is such an amazing place. Even though it was in a totally different country it brought up many good memories to my grandpa who was a winemaker and me helping out at the harvest. I just love vineyards and this has to be one of the most beautiful. Vegan options in such a place and pastel de nata ice cream? This sounds like heaven to me 😀
Hello, how about you? Do not believe in climate change, that is a strategy of the globalist elites in conjunction with the satanic governments of the European Union and other governments such as the USA, Australia, Canada, among others, in order to control humanity, they tried it with the covid Now they are focusing on climate change, for example the Spanish government is destroying many water dams that has a plan to cause drought and deprive farmers of water in Portugal there are large fires that are provoked by the Portuguese government behind it, to go on destroying the areas of the interior of the country, in addition the DARRP makes climatic changes causes droughts or floods with its climate control, investigate more do not be a sheep more than the lot
Great video. Nice to see how creative Kylie is when she's having a 🍷✌️. Lovely interesting patterns and soo well done. ❤
When you walked on the scenic bridge the view was breath taking. Loved the video!
I commented a couple of months ago how your videos make me feel homesick. You have a very very good approach. Ok, just to clear it up, the main difference is: maranho, cooked inside a goat's stomach lining while bucho is cooked inside pig's stomach lining. For the lack of a better option, go to Talho Simões in Sertã or Oleiros and buy already cooked, vacuum preserved maranho. Imagine it as a luxury preserved food :) As I grew older I realized how "wealthy" I was for having 100% home made maranho every holiday. Last tip, maranho is also delicious if you cut some slices of it, as you would with a ham, about 1 cm thick, and just re-heat it with a bit of olive oil on a sauté which is, just to close the circle, the french word for sertã.
Awesome video! Always happy to chill with you in our restaurant Guy & Kylie. Big hug from us
Absolutely stunning..

Kylie scrubs up nicely for a meal out! Lucky man.
You live at a very, very amazing place and thank you so much for showing us so many beautiful places. Good idea to take a brake once in a while and visit good friends as well. All the best to you both.
Quiet, lovely food og sunny weather. It sounds like paradise❤
How lovely this was! Thank you. The 'local' looks so good too. And HURRRAH for slow food and drinks made with love and care. 🌻🥰
