    I lived there for 2 years and agree with almost everything. A Portuguese once told me: "We have a cold climate with a hot sun". From 5pm onwards, a cool wind blows every day, sweeping your wine bottle off the table. My biggest problem was finding an apartment for long-term rent at a reasonable price (under 1000 euros). Most of the apartments and houses are vacation homes, reserved for the summer months. Once I found an apartment, I was surrounded by a plethora of dogs barking 24/7. They drove me crazy and made me leave.

    Misleading - $1200 per month for rent is not living in the Algarve for $1200 per month

      She lives in a big house with a pool that cost like 800,000 euros to buy; so yes she meant 7,300 a month. Note she always says dollars when the numbers are actually in euros. so if something is 1,200 euros she will say 1,200 dollars.

      This title is very misleading..... it should at least put in small letters that's for rent only ..... what about utilities, food, transportation, etc? I'd like to hear from a person actually doing this. I have a friend who retired to a cheaper in land town (in mid Portugal ) and she's having a hard time on her $1500. USA Social Security for her monthly expenses.....

      In Chicago, $1200 gets you a studio in an old building with no view. In NY, forget about it. So, $1200 doesn't seem too bad to live in a hoppin town with nice beaches and great weather

      Is it in Albufeira. You can get much cheaper one bedrooms all over Portugal, but Albufeira is a coveted haven for expats, and priced accordingly. Thanks for watching. Glenda

      All depends on the location ! if you want cheap go inland, but if you want sea views / walking distance, then break the bank.

      LOL. I never lived in Hawaii, although I was in and out of Waikiki for work for a couple of years. I actually was a dancer years ago, owned a dance studio and taught all kinds of dance, including Hawaiian. Thanks for watching. Glenda

      Oh ok I’m from Hawaii, born and partially raised but now in California and do have part Portuguese so I thought you taught hula because you must be Portuguese and originally from Hawaii lol.
