Reply To: What are the cons of moving to Portugal?

Hi Tillie,

I’ve been living out here in Lagos for almost 15 years. Here are my thoughts…

PROS

• people are really friendly
• lovely weather – summer or winter
• spectacular beaches
• Good transport network and traffic isn’t too bad at busiest times
• Generally much more affortable compared to the UK
• Short flights between the UK and Portugal. Flight prices are’nt too bad either

CONS

• Driving can be a bit dangerous
• Property prices had remained steady so a bit more expensive than Spain
• Compared to the UK a much slower pace to life

I hope this helps in some way with your decision.
