Product Description

A sunny country with diverse geographical features, Portugal is a popular destination for those dreaming of a new life. Its fascinating history and culture combined with its leisure facilities - in particular its golf courses - make it an ideal place in which to settle, whether your plan is to work or retire. The steady economic growth that Portugal is enjoying and the warm hospitality of the Portuguese people have also helped it to become a top destination. This book will help to make your dream a reality by giving you all the advice and information you need to start your new life. Specifically it will tell you: how to get there and what to take, whether to buy or rent a home, where to work and how to organise your employment, how to set up your own business, how to deal with legal and financial issues, what education and health service provision there is, and how to live in the day-to-day.

This book would get a higher rating from me except for that feeling of having already read what it says somewhere else. It looks like a reworked version of what has gone before, which is strange because there is no acknowledge to it. Well, perhaps it is my imagination, but I was left with a feeling of uneasiness. It covers the same as the other books on the matter, but... it is not my favourite. It also appears to be a bit dismissive of some aspects of life in Portugal. It is a double edged job....
