Saying Goodbye
Having now completed our 6 months' trial here on the Silver Coast, we have decided that Portugal is not right for us for a whole host of reasons. The last months have shown up what we do/don't want.
Whilst it is lovely that Portugal is unlike much of Western Europe, we feel we want a more modern and lively lifestyle with more facilities, amenities and activities. Without a doubt however, the people are very warm, hospitable and helpful.
So we are off to sample the Costa Del Sol next week, which we are hoping will fulfil our needs. We are initially going to an inland town, to be in Spain proper, away from UK- on -Sea but near enough to dip in and out of the razamataz as we wish. We know 6 months is not long enough to judge a country but gut instinct says it is. Anyway, what the hell, all good fun!
Thanks to everyone on the Forum for their help, guidance and advice and your the friendliness.
Good luck and best wishes.
