Hi,

I am new to this site and I am an British Resident who has just bought a house in Cascais Portugal where we shall be spending the majority of our retirement in about 7 years. We bought early so as to get to know the area and people and are starting a Rosetta Stone Portuguese language course.

Any information on inexpensive furnishings would be great as we bought a larger property then we originally intended.

Also anyone with recommendations on restaurants etc in the area would be useful. We have been frequent visitors to Lisbon/Caiscais over the past decade but are always keen to try new place.

Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.

Hi Margaret

Welcome to BE.

We have our own forum especially for Portugal, where you can chat with expats already living and working there. I am sure those folks will be only too happy to offer you useful advice and tips - along with the best places to buy goods like furniture.
You will find this forum b double clicking the 'forum index' tab on the top left of thispage. Scroll down the list of countries until you see Europe - double cick on Portugal under that and you;re in.
Just pop a post on there asking your question about buying furniture and I am sure you will get plenty of replies.

All the very best
