Oooh heading there this fall to scout as a potential place to retire. I hear it’s been discovered and that lots of expats are moving there and things are getting more expensive.

I spent some time in Spain in Catalonia a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I’ve been to Holland a few times, but only to Rotterdam and Amsterdam. I absolutely loved Holland and its people.
The weather in the winter can be bleak, gray and damp with only about 6 hours of light per day… but the summers lately are lovely… light from 6am to 11pm and temps in mid-high 70s. I’ve been a US expat for 26 years and it’s the best thing I ever did!
I’m going to spend a few days in Lisbon but more interested in other parts of the country. The Algarve coast is beautiful and I want to visit but with climate change I’m concerned it’s getting too hot
Portugal is beautiful, lots of history and many small towns.Don’t visit during July/August as it’s very busy in Algarve. If moving there go with the mindset that it’s an old country and treat locals with respect as it’s their country.
