Re: Want to move to Portugal
It is one of the world's oldest unies 
Study at a university founded in 1285.
Attend the Portuguese Language and Culture program for international students at the Universidade de Coimbra. King Dinis founded the Universidade de Coimbra in 1285. After moving back and forth between Lisbon and Coimbra, the university settled permanently in Coimbra in 1537 in the Alcacoba Palace. Today, approximately 17,000 students take classes at the university’s hill-top campus overlooking the Mondego River.

If one could find something within reasonable driving distance of a large town - then it would be a proposition.
The wealthy expats wouldnt understand my thinking though, but somebody out there will have done it!!! Where are you???

, here is one for you to look at www.princesa-tamega.pt (local estate agents) used to be a lot of cheap ones on there, I had a look today and did not see much in Amarante but it covers different towns around here.(which I did not look at) Was one at 46000 euros, house did not look up to much but had 2000m2 for you to grow your own grub! Site is in Portuguese, once you choose the town/area you will see on right hand side "VENDAS" choose Moradias(houses) or Quintas/Quintinhas (farms/little farms). You may not find anything for you but its worth a look to give you an idea. good luck! Ged

Hmm... take it you were joking about 5000 for a house, if not your pushing the boat out a bit far with that plan! But it could get you a bit land with a fresh water well,get yourself a caravan and a honda generator and hey... your sorted!!
