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.

I wonder could one do that in Portugal. I mean all I need is a place with a good roof; one good room to keep warm in and the restoration can be done in situ.
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???
