I lived there for 2 years and agree with almost everything. A Portuguese once told me: "We have a cold climate with a hot sun". From 5pm onwards, a cool wind blows every day, sweeping your wine bottle off the table. My biggest problem was finding an apartment for long-term rent at a reasonable price (under 1000 euros). Most of the apartments and houses are vacation homes, reserved for the summer months. Once I found an apartment, I was surrounded by a plethora of dogs barking 24/7. They drove me crazy and made me leave.

Misleading - $1200 per month for rent is not living in the Algarve for $1200 per month

In Chicago, $1200 gets you a studio in an old building with no view. In NY, forget about it. So, $1200 doesn't seem too bad to live in a hoppin town with nice beaches and great weather

Is it in Albufeira. You can get much cheaper one bedrooms all over Portugal, but Albufeira is a coveted haven for expats, and priced accordingly. Thanks for watching. Glenda

All depends on the location ! if you want cheap go inland, but if you want sea views / walking distance, then break the bank.

This title is very misleading..... it should at least put in small letters that's for rent only ..... what about utilities, food, transportation, etc? I'd like to hear from a person actually doing this. I have a friend who retired to a cheaper in land town (in mid Portugal ) and she's having a hard time on her $1500. USA Social Security for her monthly expenses.....

Hi Steph, Glenda actually owns her home (you can watch a full tour here - kzitem.info/news/bejne/x6WZ1IaKqml6n6g&ab_channel=InternationalLiving) and pays less than $1,400 a month for her mortgage. The costs she mentions above in the video are all-in costs, such as her mortgage, health insurance, having a gardener and someone to maintain her pool.

All this propaganda to live " cheap" in Algarve doesn't existe...plus it brings huge pressure to the ones born and raised here.. All you care is about you and your pocket...which results not having consideration for other residents.
