Portugal
Portugal is the ideal destination for sun-worshippers. The country is famed for its long hot sunny days, boasting a temperate climate and average summer temperatures hovering in the high-twenties. For years Britons and holiday-makers from around Europe have favoured the beaches of the Algarve as a destination. Now Portugal’s (relatively) cheap lifestyle means permanent immigration is becoming more common.
With around half of the border formed of coastline moving to Portugal is a popular option for water sports enthusiasts. However, it is not just the active side of life which Portugal provides for settlers… A move to Portugal is a move to vineyards, rolling hills and natural heritage sites along with a fine cultural, especially musical, tradition. Fado is the most favoured example of the moving Portuguese singing style famed throughout the nation.
Europe’s most westerly country, you gain a whole new perspective of the continent by moving to Portugal. Lisbon is the only European capital from which you can watch the sun set over the sea. Not a bad way to spend an evening with a glass of port or three!
