You’re definitely not alone—Portugal is becoming a hotspot for retirees for good reason. It’s relatively affordable, has great healthcare, and the tax incentives for foreign pensioners can be really appealing. The regions vary a lot, though: the Algarve is great for beaches and expat communities, while the north (like Braga or Porto) offers charm and cooler weather. The legal process is a bit different than in North America, so having a proper walkthrough is key. I’d highly recommend this resource on how to buy property in Portugal. It covers not only the legal side, but also the lifestyle and financial planning aspects retirees need to think about. With the right help, buying a home there can be surprisingly smooth and rewarding.
