Great vídeo❣️ you really know and feel Portugal as it is, and that is só special. It means you give your selfs to the places you visit and those places and it's people give themselfs back to you 💖💖
I'm Portuguese and I feel grateful for the amazing work you are doing showing my country. You deserve an award of the best promoters 🙏😍😍😍Keep up the excellent work.
Para mim, o Portugal é o pais mais belo de Europa. Greetings from Mexico.
I want to visit Portugal ❤❤
Hi, I'm a Londoner who's retired to Porto and I must say that whilst you're right, the weather is perhaps more doubtful here than it is in Lisbon or the Algarve, it has never ever presented a problem for me. Perhaps for a tourist, who has arrived for a few days visit, an overcast or rainy day may be a major disaster but for me it's obviosly just part of life's rich pattern.
An advantage of living here are the regular and cheap flights between Porto and London Stansted, subject to global pandemics of course, and for nearly four years I commuted on a weekly basis between here and Essex, England, for my work.
Another really nice thing is that many years ago, long before you were both born, I lived in Denmark for my sins and the cultural and social standing in Porto today reminds me very much of those formative days spent on Jutland all those years ago!
Take care both of you and enjoy your lives.
Oh really? What kind of similarities could you mention between that city in Denmark and Porto?
@@LHollan Hi, I'm not referring to any city in particular in Denmark, in fact I lived in what would have been considered a village all those years ago, but I'm referring to a certain relaxed atmosphere of the people within the entire country.
There was respect for each other and for the establishment both of which had already been lost back in Britain which was growing rapidly at the time.
The people of Denmark were still in touch with their cultures, their traditions and their arts and were all very proud of them. It was just like Denmark was not so much a country but a giant village with everybody working together to maintain a peaceful but efficient environment.
I've always had that same relaxed feeling about Porto, although sometimes I do wish things could happen a bit faster, but approximately a quarter of the population of Portugal live in the city and districts but everywhere you look there are remnants of cultures from hundreds of years ago mixed in with the latest technology and trends.
A good example would be the city buses, powered by natural gas and offering free wifi driving past the open sided wash houses with the noisy elderly women rubbing their clothes over the corrugated iron washboards just the same as their mothers and grandmothers did.
Sadly the main market in the centre of the city is being rebuilt, probably not before time many would argue but whilst the structure of the building would renew its integrity the atmosphere and character will never be the same but I suppose then need for a more clinical environment is the order of the day.
As far as a relaxed slow paced retirement is concerned I can certainly recommend Porto which must be one of the friendliest cities in the world!
James , good points !
@roberto lang well you can't be speaking for all 'Lusitanians' because over the years I've found the Portuguese to be amongst the kindest and respective nations in the world and I'm sure most fellow 'Anglo Saxons' would agree with that!
@roberto lang I think your opinion of the UK is totally misled, nobody is deserting the UK, everything in the UK does cost a lot more than perhaps Portugal but probably less than France, but then again the the wages are much higher so it's not really noticeable.
With regards to property, nobody is deserting them, they are never deserted but sold for considerable profit and in fact there is an acute shortage of property to purchase in the UK helping to keep property values high.
The British Government's are not good but they are not good in any country, wherever you look but sadly that is a fact of life and always will be.
According to the Portuguese financial papers Portugal has the highest GDP of all countries within the European block which is good for such a small country but I can assure you that the UK GDP is far higher and climbing!
The UK is going into recession at the moment, like the European block and therefore finances are quite unstable for every country but unlike countries that accepted the Euro, which obviously includes Portugal, the UK will not be pulled down by Germany and France in the coming months when energy, which was being purchased from not only one supplier but an unstable supplier, is in peak demand.
The British have a history of travelling and living in other countries, paying taxes in those countries through their eating, sleeping and purchases made so surely we are contributing our British money into your Portuguese coffers.
We could go on all night like this but just ask yourself two things;
1) Why are thousands of illegal economic immigrants risking their lives each week crossing the English Channel from France to England if the country is as bad as you say?
2) Why is Portugal, once the richest country in the world now listed amongst the poorest?
And just as a footnote, we probably wouldn't be discussing this subject at all if it wasn't for the British army, a couple of hundred years ago, protecting your 'Lusitainia' from both the French and the Spanish! 😉

The BEST place to retire for toy poodles in Portugal is where mommy and daddy are! me luvs u 🐶
YESSSSS LARA ❤️ ❤️ You are are actually the attention grabber!! LOve U and also love Mommy and Daddy!❤️
💕🐶
🐕 Lara you're da best
Lara good to see you
We've been watching your videos since we first started thinking about moving to PT. We've been in Lisboa for 3 months now and love it. This video is forcing us to start car shopping. 🥳
Best video yet!!! I live in Canada but my parents were born in Tras os Montes, Miranda do Douro district, less than 10 minutes walk to Spain from their backyard... Some of the best food, and real portuguese culture! However I’ve been to all your other places but Madeira... now I need to go there too... thank you both!
"And there's nothing I can doooo for youuuu, but to come here and comment for the algorithmoooo" 🥂
I would choose Silver Coast. Im a bit biased bc thats where my family lives but you get a good variety. You can live the quiet small village life with your quinta, be 5 minutes from a beautiful beach like Foz do Arelho among many, 5 minutes from a small city and less than an hour from Lisbon. But basically anywhere in Portugal is perfect for me !
Guys love the fact you`re enjoying Madeira... Portugal has pretty much all.. and you guys are FABULOUS as always ! Lots of LOve ❤️
You are so lucky to be able to travel to so many places in Portugal. Love to travel like you.
The Portuguese government should pay you guys for the fabulous promotion
I basically agree with almost all of what you mentioned. I also would like to confirm what another comment said: Braga is a very nice, lively city. In the Douro valley, apart from the hotels you quoted, in our opinion a special mention should go to Vintage House hotel in Pinhão, right at the bank of the Douro river. We have been living on Madeira now for 7 years (coming from Beligum), and still enjoying every day of it (even if it is raining hard just at this moment...). Special mention also to Madeira's Orquestra Clássica, we go to most of their concerts and hope they will be able to play again very soon after the curfew is lifted.
Do you fly from Porto or Lisbon to Belgium? Average RT airfare? Thanks!
From Tucson, AZ USA
You missed Viseu! An amazing medium size city in the center of Portugal, with very beautiful Quintas of Dão wine. Viseu is a vibrant city it has everything with extraordinary food. Try "Vitela assada à moda de Lefões" (Roasted veal Lafões way). Lefões is an area near Viseu. Visit and try.
I haven’t spent alot of time there but i was pleasantly surprised with how nice Braga is. I could see myself living there too
I'm sure they would have mentioned Guimarães (in Braga) if they knew the place better.
Thank you for showing the grand tour of Portugal, you certainly gave me a lot of food for thought.
This is the kind of videos I love from you guys. Indeed, we are going to Lisbon in July and moving to Portugal at the end of 2021. Um abraco forte desde o Mexico.
I Like this video. Might be worth delving deeper into the cost of living for each area you touched on.
And Amalie, you hair in this video is gorgeous.
My husband and I just completed the video we absolutely loved it!!! Awesome job you two y’all provided fantastic information in detail and the drone footage was beautiful!!
By far the best summary of ‘top 10’ locations. you 2 have earned your accolades. May you continue living a charmed life for many years!
I've been following your journey in Portugal. I think that you still haven't found the small corner of Paradise that Ponte de Lima is. Not a large metropolitan place but near to everything that you may need. Do visit. ;)
wow I just looked on google maps...very beautiful.....how is the weather there? Similar to Porto?
Great overview - I think Porto is the top of my list, but all of Portugal is so beautiful, it’s difficult. I have several years before I can make the move though, so I’ll be coming back to scout locations.
Great video, but this old person does not sit around reading a book or playing golf. 🤔😂🤣 I need the beach, bars and restaurants , night life and live among the locals.
I love your channel❤ Retired in Spain and can hardly wait to visit Portugal especially to your recommendations.
Haha.. well then you are not old 😅😘 you would probably like the algarve coast the. It’s a super cool area
Would like to see something more specific, ie, comparing towns in the algarve, towns along the silver coast, etc
I would like to see a comparison between towns in algarve...
Wow, that was beautiful. Thank you.
Lovely vídeo. Waiting for you to show us the beaches at Porto Santo island.
Eating alheira while I’m watching this video might bring some memories
Adorável casal fazem mais por Portugal do que muitos canais públicos portugueses. Felicidades
Parabéns meus amigos estou sem palavras, simplesmente fantástico, obrigado bjs 😘
So, Best place to retire in Portugal is: Anywhere in Portugal!;) thank you guys:)
Hi, you did a great job identifying some great places to retire. Having watched your videos for over a year I know you have visited these places and gone in-depth on what each place has to offer. Covid, unfortunately, put our plans to retire in Portugal on hold. But we can't wait to go! I have learned so much about the country watching your videos! Enjoy - your lanai looks gorgeous.
Great video guys can’t wait till this goes back to normal and travel again.
Excellent Video Summary ! So, would you guys spend the rest of your lives in Portugal? Is it one of the most diverse, compact and can be affordable countries in Europe?
Love this video my beautiful Portugal 🇵🇹
I noticed that Portugal is always sunny 🌞.
Would love to see you visit Arouca 516. The world's largest suspension bridge right in the heart of northern Portugal.
Hey Joen and Amelie. Love the video. You gave me a lot to consider when it´s time to buy my apartment or house in PT. Take care guys!!!!
Obrigada por escolher este pedaçinho de Paraíso para viver e dar a conhecer ao Mundo.
Felicidades
You guys still need to visit Viseu and the surrounding area. Fairly close to Porto and the Serra da Estrela mountain, heart of the Dão/Lafões wine region and considered best city to live in Portugal for many times. Also my village Canas de Senhorim, which is 25 km from Viseu has probably the most traditional carnival in Portugal.
High Quality Video and super informative. One of the best the last few weeks. Thanks
Great video. Thanks for sharing your personal perspective. Visiting in 2022. Appreciate the accommodations recommendations. Have you considered putting links in the comments for your favorite restaurants/accommodations?
I was never into Margem Sul because I always tought all they have there we had better in Lisbon but my girlfriend lived closed to Lagoa de Albufeira, 30 mins from lisbon, walking distance to infinite beach, maybe it could work
Enjoyed this overview very much. Well done! Thank you!!
Absolutely one of the best videos showing and explaining all the beauty and diversity of PT! Thank you. Will definitely share. 👏
An important factor is access to services, some remote places require you to drive 30 minutes + for basic stuff. A town that has everything from bakeries, butcher shops, groceries etc within walking distance are the best. I've got an eye on a flat town but I'm keeping that town a secret.
A flat town has to be Aveiro! Am I right?
@@insertname8451 I would like it to be but Aveiro is getting a bit expensive now. It's rising in popularity
setubal?
WE ALL LOVE PORTUGAL, INDEED BECAUSE IT S SO BEAUTIFUL... A BIG HUG TO YOU
Really nice, appreciate your thoughts on all the regions.
I cannot help being drawn by your balcony furnishing. Can you do a video to share how you decorate your place
Great video, really enjoyed the info. You might want to consider using the phrase "old people" so much.
Wow! Your pronounciation of "Madeira" is great - it sounds like the pronounciation in my region's accent! 😁
We like to refer to ourselves as matured with knowledge, to go appreciate what we couldn’t when we were younger...stop referring to anyone not young as Old
Still love ya though
Thanks for sharing this amazing video about Portugal 🇵🇹❤️
Aveiro is my choice ;)
A great overview of the options. Portugal gives soo many! I would add the Estoril/Cascais area. For retirees or digital nomads, it is worth mentioning the tax benefits of the Non Habitual Residence Tax regime which can give fab tax savings for the first 10 years of residence. Ate logo.
Excellent.
Thank you both. Very informative. 👍👍
All of these places look amazing. Beautiful drone shots too
@Prince London lol, I would love to... But I can't bring myself to watch one of those house wife shows. Can I just rewatch all joen and amelia's Madeira videos to get my Madeira fix 🙏🏽
In this episode: Quite a marriage of airborne eye candy & well articulated destination thoughts!
😂🤣😂🤣
I enjoyed this video for the compilation of places you've visited and informative content...I can't wait for you to travel again and something just seems a little off! Not near retiring nor are you, but I did like your knowledge and appreciation of 10 places in Portugal...Why I follow you! Thanks for your effort!!!
Portugal experts, you really are!
Amazing people, friendly food 🇵🇹
Fantastic, thorough account of different regions. Thank you.
Love your videos - any chance you can do a segment on Madeira speciality shops
Love your video. When i arrived back home from living in South Africa Idid a tour from Algarve South of Portugal to the North as far as Viana do Castelo where I have many cousins🤣 and found that it was the voted by the Portuguese in Portugal obe of the most beautiful cities, cleanest, safest and cheapest to live in Portugal. Luved there for 1 yr then to Alentejo which is drier but cheaper than Algarve hot in summer 43° and nights cooler. But I landed up living in Algarve as the weather and language for my South African born family was the better cjoice. The whole of Portugal it os a treasure to explore!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! Lovely couple and great content!
Thoroughly enjoyed that! Thanks!
Thanks Brian!
Why did you settle on Madeira versus for example the Algarve? I personally would have chosen the Algarve to remain on the mainland. Island living can get claustrophobic.... (island fever).
Madeira has it all, tunnels everywhere, cultural events, big shopping malls, restaurants, excellent infrastructures. 40 years ago we could say that but not now.
Porto has a lot of industrial and technical muscle. Lisbon is just services people, they cant tight a bolt. Coimbra was the old Capital city and has the 9th oldest universities in Europe.
Great vídeo. Congrats
I have enjoyed every minute of the video.Thank you for sharing
Just discovered you! Amazingly helpful video!!! xxx
Great video. Congratulations!
I lived in a lot of countries for a short time, including USA. But in Hamburg I had my home as a child. The closest I came to DK was in a visit to Sylt for some days. I totally disguise myself including different accents in german, english, and spanish. I´m fluent in a lot more, but for example in french I don´t recognise accents easily. I write the four main languages, going to the extreme of reading fluently gothic old german. I know the city of Buenos Aires and Argentina in great detail and lived in Buenos Aires for 47 years, 42 with my wife, who passed away in 2017. Now I live 35 km away from Buenos Aires in beautiful Tigre. I stumbled on your nice RUclips channel searching Portugal. I´m planning a possible relocation to Portugal or the south of Italy. In Portugal I selected the town by streetview, Malveira da Serra, between Sintra and the atlantic ocean, but I have to live there for at least a year to get a valid opinion. Last time I was in Lisbon was in 1966. I like your channel, I subscribed. Language is a barrier, but not for me. Greetings from Tigre.
Thanks for doing this! Loved it!! Your photos are so inspiring.
Thank you for your video and I am Portuguese living in the US and want to retire in my beautiful country.💕 Haven't been to Madeira or Acores can't wait to go!
Nice video! Been watching this channel couple days ago.
I'm in love with Portugal ❤️ we planning to move there to, destination is ilha do Faial 🥰 it's paradise.
9 more years! Returning to my birth country to live for the rest of my life.
But not yet, 9 more years of work left to go
Que esses nove anos passem depressa.
Love this video!! Great overview!!
A great, practical, first-hand assessment of potential destinations. Thanks.
It's worth considering!
Nice video guys. I always like them very much. Seeeyyyaaa son, my boys.
Il be in Funchal end of this month. would be cool to meet for a drink.
Nice video , thanks .
So Silver coast and Azores can be grey and overcast I'm glad this was pointed out honestly.
Fabulous video! Thank You for these highlights.
We need for the alcorythm merch 😁🍻🥃🍷
Very nice. Lovely place on the planet.
Came to north center of Portugal, Viseu
I agree that food in Madeira is amazing. But the best place to retire is the Algarve were I live. Lisbon and Seville are at the same distance, international Airport and of course the beaches...
I agree. A great location.
Love your videos!
Thx so much
Awesome video and thank you for sharing ❤👍
I love your apartment and your puppy! What is expected cost to buy such apartment?
Great review 🇵🇹,enjoyed every second🍾🥂até lego.
You forgot Minho ☀️
I am interested to find out more about the convertible white mini that you are driving. can you give me more info on that
I just did subscribe while ur saying
Your video content is really a lot to hear and thank u keep vlogging its really awesome watching you two
It actually goes like this:
Braga prays
Porto works
Coimbra studies
and
Lisbon parties 😉
Haha! You dont happen to be a Lisboeta? 🤣🤣
I heard it was
Lisbon plays
Braga prays
Porto pays
but it all sums up to the same thing!
@@joenandamalie My dear Amalie & Joen by now both of you should know that Lisboetas are also called "Alfacinhas" and yes I am an Alfacinha; now, what brought you to this conclusion?! 😉
@@jamesjeffries8281 Yours is by far the best lol
@@FranciscoSmirsley I thought calling Lisboetas Alfacinhas was almost like a racial slur ahahahah cool that you're fine with it!
I think I am now watching this video 2x ahah in my personal laptop and now at the work laptop
All ten of your suggestions sound perfect to me. But here's the thing... I'm an "old person" ( a phrase you used three times, BTW) who just turned 60, is retired and have 1/3 of my life in front of me. What I'm looking for most of all is a place, a magical place where people treat one another with respect. Where courtesy, manners and civics are still alive and lived on a daily basis. Most of all I want a place where neighbors follow the "Golden Rule," (Treat one another as you yourself would like to be treated.} It seems to me in my current location, that wanting these things is inappropriate to express an appreciation for these values. And when BTW did respect for "law and order" become a bad thing?
So the beach and sunshine are added bonuses. Strolling through pretty villages and meeting new friends at a lovely cafe would be ideal. But I'd trade it all for a place where courtesy was the order of the day and the belief that all citizens mattered. Point me in the direction of genuinely nice people who welcome "outsiders" and I'm ready to pack! Thanks for allowing me to vent and I welcome suggestions.
Love your videos (for the algorithm)
Obrigadinhooo!
Have you thought about re-doing this video in light of the recent changes to Golden Visa qualifications?
Thanks for all the cool info
