My parents retired to the Algarve Portugal - they love it there.
Best of luck with your plans.

We're off to the Sintra Hills for a week this Saturday. Never been to Portugal before. Many of my work mates have and most say I won't want to buy or live anywhere else once I've seen the interior. Been advised to keep away from the Algarve though. Good win over Pompey wannit?
Any advice?

Been advised to keep away from the Algarve though. QUOTE]
Why would you keep away from the Algarve?
My Mum and Dad retired there and it is beautiful.
They are in a very small Portuguese village with a lovely view, and wonderful neighbours. It's quiet and peaceful, yet just a 15 minute car ride to a major town / beach and Faro airport is only 35 mins away. Perfect.
They love it. The cost of living is low, the weather is very temperate (although it does get very hot in the summer sometimes - what a bummer )
My Dad recently bought a telescope as the skies are so clear there, he's taken up star / planet gazing as a hobby.
They have lots of ex-pat activities ie: car boot sales, BBQ';s, Portuguese classes etc etc. Give it a try, but I would stay away from the major towns and visit the smaller towns and villages that still have all the olde worlde Portuguese charm.
There are loads of great little authentic restaurants (cheap), good supermarkets, nice bars, great walks / hiking trails, world class golf (if you're into that) and even an English radio station.
What a lot of people do who move there is buy a home/villa that comes with a 'granny flat' or apartment and then rent that out during the summer for extra income.
One last thing - do yourself a favour and at least try to learn some Portuguese - they will respect you for that.
Just my tuppence.
