Re: Looking to move to Portugal for spring/summers

Loads of centennial records have gone in the last few years. Last summer here in the centro was lovely, manageable temps but the trend is more heat and more heat waves. If you are sensitive to that...

Re: Portugal's New President

Unusual to see an informed post! When Portugal voted for a government, they went to sleep with a narrow margin between centrists and woke up with the hard left promising to take the country out of...

Re: Fish for food

The economics aren't there. There is fly fishing on the Alva and Ceira though, probably an hour north for you. Bass as well. Ask in your local hunting shop. Locals eat barbel and zander (invasive...

Re: Taking my Car to Portugal then buying a car there

Can you still get a 13 month UK MoT? No need to wait until current expiry. Nip round to your local centre and ask. You will also need UK insurance that covers 12 months in Europe, the AA sells this. ...

Re: Auto matriculation.... I know....again!

French plate, and you are legally resident in Portugal? I would not risk driving it. Get the daughter to fly in and take it back.

Trituradora. But you don't want one for making chips for smoking food as they require oil and this will inevitably contain chemicals you really don't want near your food. For family amounts, get...

Go to the Câmara, there will be a water section, ask about tests done local to you. Take a Portuguese speaker for best results. This might be a frustrating exercise.

Re: Another "Considering taking the plunge!" threads

It seems a reasonable plan, but definately stick to renting to keep yourself agile. Portugal is in economic chaos, no end in sight. Median age of Brits in the Algarve might also be a problem!

Coimbra good on paper, disappointing in reality. It's a mediocre small city with just a few gems.

In your position I would move to Lisbon. Good quality of life, employment exists, culture and food...
