I'm Portuguese. What distinguishes Portugal from other countries is not the cost of houses, it is not the supermarket products, it is not the price of cars and the weather is not as good as it is often said, especially because the temperature of the sea water is overall quite cold. What is not easily found in other countries like Portugal is the possibility of eating quality food and drinking affordably in restaurants and street stalls.
Debunking false information: 7:05 - Music played with balalaikas or Flamenco dancing are not portuguese. 8:55 - We certainly don't have czech buses. Let me add a few more misconceptions to your list: 10 - Pastéis de Nata and Pastéis de Belém are not the same. 11 - The Christ the Redeemer statue is not located in Lisbon. 12 - The south bank of the Douro River in front of Porto is not Porto, it's a different city.
@@Lisbobexpatsassistant - Well, now you know. Perhaps you learned something for future videos about Portugal. Knowing things that are common knowledge here in Portugal doesn't make me smart.
@@Lisbobexpatsassistant Keep an open mind and learn from your own mistakes. Your knowledge about Portugal is so low that you should stop making videos about realities you don't know. The way you mispronounce Portuguese words is embarrassing and try to show locals instead of random people you get from the Net. I don't understand how you can help expats who want to live in Portugal.
I am Portuguese and I living in London, London raining much more than Oporto, the city of Oporto is not sunny like Algarve but when is not raining the sky is complete blue, in London its very difficulty to have the sky blue and sunny. I having Osteoporosis and thinking to move to Oporto because there has more sun than here. London have 9 months of winter, in Oporto in 4 months.
As a native of Portugal, born and living in the Porto region, I can confirm that everything said in the video is true and therefore I approve, without any reservations, the message. I just have to add that the author of the video was too, let's say, sympathetic regarding bureaucratic issues in the relationship with the state and public services... bureaucracy can be extreme, despite the significant advances in digital services that have occurred in recent years . What I hate doing most in my country is having to go to a public service office. Good video. Greetings from Porto, Portugal.
This is so true, I have lived in many european countries and Portugal's weather is very ambiguous, its very cold at times and very warm at times, and very very veryyyyyyy rainy at times... I Live in Loures LISBON, and its has micro climate just like Sintra. So sometimes its very motivating, while on others its very Demotivating and gives off winter blue vibes... But most people are warm when you talk to them, but in recent days Crime rose sharply, so watch your back as Police don't even register most of the crimes...
Avarage annual rainfall: London: 585 mm Paris: 641 mm Lisbon: 774 mm Porto: 1340 mm In fact, the area comprising Northern Portugal and North west Spain can be counted among those where it rains more in the whole of Europe. Well.... fortunately I would say...😂
The letter J in Portuguese sounds exactly as in French.So, please say Alentejo (pronouncing the J as if you were saying Je suis in French) and not Alenterro, as if you were speaking Spanish.
Indeed, this year near the Serra de Estrela... Autumn until May... and snow on the Torre till may too. And the rural cuisine here... Hmm... Not always the finest. Cheap? Depends what you need. Lidl/Aldi is as expensive here, ikea even more (23 % VAT). And oler people speak... French, have worked in Switserland etc.
Im from Porto. We have average of 220 sunny days per year in Porto, while London only have 126. Suggesting to viewers that weather in Porto is similar to London is almost a lie. So you already start your video with a lie, debunking other lies 😂 But yes, i confirm that northern Portugal weather is very different from south, more rainy and cold
Stop using stock footage and bot voiceovers blindly; the time you need to edit them might as well be spent shooting and recording original work. You're hurting First Impressions with viewers.

Another lie about Portugal: an ignorant person commented in a video that Portugal is not a country but a city in Spain.
Really?!

These seem like it was done by an expat
By expat, for expats ;)

Stop saying stuff without knowing the reasons behind :)
So far this channel is doing very good, but thanks for the advice anyway
@@Lisbobexpatsassistant You didn't say I'm wrong.
You either ;)
"Expat" immigrant...
Endless debate...
@@pvaz - Exacto. Imigrante rico = expat, imigrante pobre = apenas imigrante.

Perfect Portugal?...
Expats? Immigrant with pedigree, that´s what you are.
Is it really the best comment you came up with Armindo?
