Anyone who is interested about living in Central Portugal and getting around without a car should enjoy this weeks vlog. I see just how easy it is to go from our farm in Central Portugal to our nearest city using public transport, bicycles, and trains. The local city of Castelo Branco looks very different by bicycle and I had a load of fun sightseeing around on this new DYU D3F mini ebike.

It's nice to see so many different kinds of Portugal. Please don't stop. After a hard day of work, it's nice to see Portugal and all of her different sides. It's relaxing. And a happy birthday to you.

Enjoyed the episode Ken. Looks like a great way to explore the "city." I love Decathlon. We have it in the US, but as of about a year ago, it became online only. Also, they seem to only do outdoor sports now. Too bad, they have pretty good tennis gear if you get the 9XX lines (at least they used to tier their goods, 1XX, 5XX, and 9XX). Enjoy that steak. Happy Birthday.

It would be a concern of mine that a possible move to another country and living a simple life out in the but not having access t o the things a big town/city would have.. So really it would be best to locate near a rail route such as you have

When I was in Porto it was almost impossible to find a restaurant/bar that served Sagres, they all had Super Bock or even Spanish beers... so my question: is Sagres served around Castelo Branco? I found it so strange that there was this North/South split between the two main domestic beers in such a small country, would love to know what goes on in Castelo Branco!

@OKportugal 5 месяцев назад

in my local village they only drink sagres... i think its a regional thing as i actually enjoy both of them and alternate often!

@OKportugal 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, the traffic here is very minimal but the driving can be a bit bad so im cautious when entering or leaving roundabouts. These bikes have a warranty in case anything goes wrong but if you get a flat type or need a service there's a couple of bike shops around central Portugal and the prices for work is very good.

@AnnaAdventuring 5 месяцев назад

Hi Ken. Hope you had a lovely birthday & enjoyed your steak 🍻 There’s something I’m curious about and I wonder if you have an answer? I follow a lot of homesteaders and the majority seem to be in the Castelo Branco region. I’ve also looked into the climatic zones of Portugal, and the Castelo Branco region is classified as having the harshest winters AND the harshest summers (and most prone to fires) so why do so many people buy their property there? The north might have wetter cooler winters but it’s much greener and less oven-like in summer, and the area spanning out from Coimbra seems to have the most equitable climate. Is it down to the relative prices of land/property, or is there another reason? This question has been bugging me for a while 😂

@OKportugal 5 месяцев назад

Hi Anna, when we moved here 5 years ago we focused on this region due to the fact that it was the cheapest place where we could afford the house and land we were after. Since we moved here and started vlogging, a lot of other people have moved here and the prices have gone up due to the demand. The North is cooler (in winter and summer) but for the last 5 years they seem to have had more fires than us, so I'm not sure why that is. I love central portugal as I'm inly 2-5 hours away from Porto, Lisbon, the Algarve or France. And I have wonderful neighbours too 😊 To answer your question quickly, I think a lot of people chose this area due to the prices and the types of properties available.

@AnnaAdventuring 5 месяцев назад

@@OKportugal Thank you Ken for your comprehensive reply 🙏🏻 I thought it might be mainly to do with the price of land/property 👍🏻 It’s another 18 months - 2 years until I can seriously start looking at buying, so let’s see where prices are then 🤔 It is the major factor for most of us looking to move.

@kelliewoolley4962 5 месяцев назад

@OKportugal 5 месяцев назад

Sure we got ours from Leroy Merlin. They are called Aire+ 2 way multi splits. We got 2 of them to cover 4 rooms. The installation worked out at 900 for both splits and they work fantasticly. I'm looking forward to testing their cooling function in summer. They are a+++ rated for cooling and A++ for heating. Try to get efficient ones like this or your electricity bills can be crazy
