welcome we been going for over 20 years and it has changed but we even got a Villa now so it carnt be all bad, does have a few bad points, but better points outway, some people like a good moan.
Welcome! We have had a house here for over 20 years and finally took the plunge and moved out here in June this year. Our daughter absolutely loves it at school and wouldnt go back to the UK, which to say this time last year, she was absolutely NOT coming to live here. It is the best thing we have ever done, we have met some lovely people so far, quite a few of them through the Forum. We are learning the language, albeit slowly, but at least we are making the effort. We are also joining a number of social and networking groups because we want to be a part of the community as a whole. So, when you do come out to live, embrace this beautiful place and the lovely people that live in and around here. There is far too much negativity in the world and just to wake up to sunshine most mornings makes such a difference.
Youre very welcome, keep in touch and we will meet up with you when you come out. If you want any advice or helpwith anything, I will help you as much as I can. In fact there are a few of us meeting up tomorrow night in Carvoeiro, so I am looking forward to that.
I know I am! BUT, we didnt manage to get out last night as we had 6 teenage girls staying over - all friends of my daughters, what with them and the thunderstorm am ready for an early night tonight!!!
As I am about to holiday there next year for the first time, can anyone point out the supposed negatives just so that I can be aware of them n advance and thereby enjoy the holiday as much as I hoped to.
There aren't any disco's.
Most of the restaurants serve Portuguese food.
There aren't any high rise building from which to get a wide view.
I haven't yet found any slot machine arcades.
Hiya and welcome to the site from me, hope you have a great time when you move to cvo. Lucky you, we will be in the area from 2010/11.
