Retiring & moving to Portugal
Hi, we are Bob & Bernie, we reside in Belfast and hope to move to Portugal next year (2015) or at least seriously look for somewhere to move to.
We have friends in Pera, not far from Albufeira, they are an English woman married to a Portuguese man from Madeira and hope to move to somewhere that will be within under 1/2 hour drive from Pera.
So looking for anyone living in Portugal in the above area if possible who may be able to gude us in what type of property to look for and any pitfalls to look out for.
We don't like modern too much and love the traditional style Algarvian type property.
