I'm an expat living in the Algarve (for over 20 years) and know every nook and cranny of the place. In this video I give you an overview of the main towns along with some great drone footage. I can dig deep into each place, just let me know which towns you'd prefer to investigate and I'll make a video about them and I can talk all about international schools, quality of life, the healthcare system, internet connections, proximity to airports with international flights, cost of living, active expat community and the low crime rate.

Silves is a hidden gem. Calm, peaceful, quiet, we live a few kilometres outside the town. Lovely castle, cathedral, quaint side streets, super weekend food market...couldn't be happier...perfect if you're after a more rural lifestyle ten minutes inland from the coast...

Hello .. thank you for reminding me of the Algarve, where I lived from 1987 to 2004. .We left Algarve in 2004, when we relocated to Madeira. I am still living in Madeira, and at the age of 80 , will not be moving away. So, almost 35 years . Thanks for all the memories. ❤️ Valerie Farrington.

Algarve Addicts ... this is great! Thanks you! My sister and family live near Castro Marim, they moved from the U.K. over 21 years ago now and love It, they have land too so grow most of their fruit and veg. Dad bought a small place in Monte Gordo for his holidays as he loves the beach and sun, but I mush prefer Vila for its atmosphere, architecture and somehow more traditional vibe.

Thank you for the very informative and interesting video. I fell in love with Portugal a few years ago on a trip to Portugal and Spain. We flew into Lisbon and after a few days rented a car for a drive to Evora. After a two night stay we drove to Lagos where we had a wonderful stay exploring the beautiful coast. I got hooked on Portuguese Wine and the food we had in all areas was some of the best we have eaten in all of our European trips. I often thought The Algarve would be an amazing place for retirement.

We'll definitely return to Portugal, our favourite of the many countries and continents to which we've travelled in the past ten years. Portugal is an affordable retirement refuge from countries like mine (Canada) that are rapidly becoming too expensive in which to grow old.

@@AlgarveAddicts That's so lovely - thank you very much! We're sure you're going to do so well with your channel - your videos are excellent and so informative... we've learnt more from you than from numerous blogs and other channels! We're going to hike the Seven Hanging Valleys trail tomorrow, thanks to your recommendation! We'll give you a shout out in our vlog :)

It would be beneficial if you relocate to Algarve under a foreign contract. This usually pays better. Minimum wage in Portugal for Portuguese is 705 euros per month. A nurse makes about 1200 per month. Don't know what you do for a living, so, do your research. Best of luck.

I love the Algarve, went there on holidays every summer on a road trip with my family. but Lisbon will always be the place for me. Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra were all the places I grew up in and in my opinion are the best places to live.

Yup, the Lisbon area is a special place. So much going on up there!

Im a portuguese expat living in Europe and I've just come across your vids a few days ago. I have to say this is probably the most comprehensive, authentic, interesting, fun to watch yet rigorous video I've seen about the Algarve. You've made me start thiking about relocating back to Portugal, who knows, even to the Algarve - who knows - although being originaly from Porto i enjoy a bit of cold, rainy days and mountains nearby (not that we have many in Portugal that you can call true mountains). You're probably the best advocate for Algarve tourism and economy right now. Loved the SA accent, btw. Take care. Looking fwd to check out some of your other vids. 👍😉
