Gorgeous photos, Laura! And you’re so right about a holiday reinvigorating one – I’ve come back from holiday all fired up about my blog, my weight loss, getting stuff sorted around the house – fabulous! I must go on hols more often!!

Oh Laura, it is soooo beautiful! Wow!!! Boy do I need the sun. I feel like I have scurvy, which I know has nothing to do with the sun

Those are gorgeous pictures! I can see why you are working to move there. And i bet the trip makes for good continuous inspiration.

I did a blogging hiatus and still catching up…

Ahh..I see you had a good time visiting Vale Tejo and Óbidos region. Óbidos is such a cute little village. And you´re right, sea water in that region is so cold!
Much, much better here in Algarve
I think you´re doing well in looking around our country before you decide where to move but if you like city and littoral there´s 3 options to check: Porto, Lisbon and Faro.
The cost of living (and properties) in Porto region is the less expensive of the 3 but the downturn is the weather, colder & rainy.
Lisbon, as capital, is for sure the most expensive and polluted of the 3, specially in the city. If you look around, in the interior, Vale Tejo region has some nice, less expensive villages worth checking.
Faro, you know the trend, tourism in summer and too calm in winter. Prices vary, “barlavento” is more expensive than “sotavento”. The best about Algarve is really the sunny weather, beaches, seafood, lower prices in winter and being close to Spain.
Whatever place you pick, my country is a great place to live!
Hugs xx
