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.

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.

Thank you very much for your informative video about the Algarve area. My wife and I have been thinking of living in Portugal. However, our main focus is on the Azores as they offers a more quiet and removed

Hi Stephanie, yes I am sure the Azores is much quieter. I'm looking forward to getting over there some day.

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. 👍😉
