How many of you read the bi monthly magazine called Portugal ? I have just bought issue 4 and as always it has some good articles and features.
For those of you looking to make a new life in Portugal they have a feature on businesses for sale in the Algarve. How about buying your own garden centre or dental practice?!!
By the way I dont work for the publisher, I just enjoy the magazine!!

Yes Ive enjoyed reading a couple of issues of this mag. Karen

I particularly liked the 'cooking pages'!
Actually it was Tricky who first brought it to my notice end of last year I think and it was our Maddi that sent me the online details.
portugalmagazine@merricksmedia.co.uk
think thats correct

and as you say lots of good info regarding property and business and peoples 'stories' of their new life there.Also advice with the legalities if I remember righly!
Think its bi-monthly?
Only critism I had of those I read..too much golf! lot of the pics seemed to be of properties on golf complexs
oohhh er what have I said/started

Its only available in large UK newsagents like WH Smiths.

Thought you migh be interested in the garden centre Ellie ?! Covers 4 acres of growing areas, a retail shop plus a 4 bed house. They are including all the stock plants,trees and shrubs. There are over 1000 palm trees at various stages of growth.

Of course it costs a fortune !!!!

You talking tel.numbers Karen?

Just out of interest (well you never know..lottery could come up!)

p.s thanks to Peter for link

Its called Quinta Do Medronal and is 5 KM north of Faro. Its situated in an area which has been designated a new retail park. It seems more interesting to own a garden centre than a bar or restaurant especially under the present climate.
Hope your lottery numbers come up !!!
