I totally adore living in Portugal. My original plan was to go to Spain to start my new life there, but the taxes and bureaucracy seemed hard to navigate even with two years of Spanish studies under my belt. At the last minute before BREXIT I decided to take the leap and make the move to Portugal. It was absolutely the best decision and looking back I feel that I would much prefer living here to Spain.
There are so many reasons why so many people are relocating to Portugal. Amongst the top include the weather and the healthy diet which both lead to an increase in quality-of-life. It’s also still reasonably priced. Portugal has a much lower cost of living than the UK or US. Here are my top reasons to move to Portugal…
1. Weather
The weather was my main reason for making the move to Portugal. I literally could not get through one more British winter with freezing temperatures and depressed people walking round like zombies! When I finally made my move, I literally felt like I was on holiday all the time! Average daily temperatures my hit 30° in the summer and rarely drop below 16° in the winter months.
