Well done..thanks! Lived for a time in Rota, Spain and later Comillas, Spain (Cantabria)..spent many weekends and weeks Costa del Luz and into Algarve...Yes, perhaps one of the best places in Europe for outdoor fun to include surfing. One of the differences between south of Cadiz..Costa del Luz (el Palmar Beach) is the water on the west coast of Portugal.Sagres, etc is "cold"..hence why one sees wet suits even in summer. Have not been back since 2019 (Crete three months); 2018 (walked the Camino)..other years after 2010...lots of Croatia and Slovenia. I do miss it and hope to get back..but now with Aussie Shepherd..hard to get away. To all travellers..stay on the roads..RH/Florida-USA
Thanks for sharing RH. All the best.
Nick, I only discovered your channel a week ago and it's absolutely fantastic! It's so well organised. Thank you for all your efforts!
Thank you 😎👍🏼
Love to move over one day. And start living instead of existing frome UK.
Living life instead of existing is key. Good luck, it's a tough move but so worth it in the end.
@@AlgarveAddicts i believe it will be a tough move but I'm up for it. I will be needing your expertise when I move over with family finding a home and your wife's expertise in law ect.
Your videos are inspiring and informative keep up the great work for us all.
Another great video. Brought back great memories of a coastal drive I took in the Carrapateira area 3 years ago. Felt like I had the entire place to myself. One majestic view after another. It was well captured in your video. Well done.
Thanks Martin, it really is a special area.
Thank you. I was wondering about the west coast of the Algarve, and why it seems to be so sparsely populated. Looks like the wind is pretty strong there. Still, another place to explore. For sure am interested in why living there is different.
Absolutely, I think the weather is a component, but also because it's so far from the rest of the Algarve with no MAJOR transport connections. The highway stops near Lagos as does the train.
u should do audio books, your voice is amazing
Thank you.
Inspirational stuff Nick 😎
Cheers Ryan 🤙🏼
Thanks, I didn’t know the Algarve has so much surf 🏄♂️ possibilities!! Great, thanks for the video😁
It sure does, Lagos is a proper surf town and is home to over 30 sort companies taking people out for day surf trips. Good to see on the comments mate!
Thanks Nick! Brilliant content as usual!! Looks like it will be next year now until we can visit beautiful Portugal. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Tony 👍🏼
Love your videos. Footage and information is always brilliant and so professional.
Thanks Hilary, great to see your comment again 👋🏻
Another Great Video from Nick & the team. 👍🏼
Thanks Iain 👍🏼
Great overview! Looking forward to the livability video(s), especially Aljezur.
I'm looking forward to getting out there and making those videos!
Congrats on 10K 👏
Hey Gary, thank you so much. Exciting times!
Love the beaches in that area
Hey Frank, me too! If only it was closer to me, 230km round trip for a surf is a bit much...
Hi I would like to thank you for your channel and the contents you post. Thanks to it me and my girlfriend are coming to spend our holidays this July in Algarve sleeping in a lovely aribnb house in Quarteira that is actually not so faraway from you! cheers Man! :D
Fantastic, I hope you have a great holiday!
Awesome thanks
You're welcome John, thanks for watching 👍🏼
Great vlog, it brought back lovely memories of walking the Rota Vicentina with my son a few years ago.
Oh wow, that's sounds amazing, did you do the whole thing?
@@AlgarveAddicts No, couldn’t take enough leave from work so we only walked from Aljezur down to Sagres. I wonder what Aljezur and surrounding area would have to offer as a place to live?
Peace, quiet, tranquility and a solid connection to the earth. People are very natural around there (in a good way).
Awesome, What are your favorite 3 cities in the Algarve.
Hi Alan, probably Lagos, Loule and Tavira.
cant wait for the Aljezur one! Very curios about this
Me too! Hopefully I'll get a solid surf in after I'm filming 🤣
@@AlgarveAddicts good luck brother!! I’ve been wondering for a long time if Aljezur is a great place to live or is it too remote? One cool tip that you can tell us is that if Amazon can deliver there? I think this is a great reference on how remote is the place. Thanks again
I'm sure if you have an address you'll get deliveries. If not you can get a post box and they can deliver to the local post office for you (Caixa Postal).
3:26 Province (província) is a term that isn't currently used as a subdivision of Portugal. The Algarve region has only one district: Faro. The Alentejo region has several districts: Beja, Évora, Portalegre. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_and_sub-regions_of_Portugal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_Portugal
I'm old enough to remember when the country was subdivided into provinces, which were then in turn subdivided into districts, municipalities, parishes, and "freguesias".
Quaint times...
Thanks for sharing guys. We used to call them provinces in South Africa, however in Portugal it's tough to keep up as there appear to have been so many changes to the geographical denominations in the last 50 years.
Nice job Nick, Holly and Tom. Does everyone wear wet suits because the water is cold? Or that's a surf thing?
How's the scuba diving in the Algarve?
Yes Larry, the suits are because the water is cold. You can swim without one, bit if you're sitting in the water for two hours or so, you need a suit. Scuba diving is ok, there area couple of wrecks around and lots of reefs. People also snorkel for octopus and things.
What about Villanova de milfontes??
That's north of the Algarve in the Alentejo. I was just doing the Algarve beaches on the west coast. Someday I'll get up there.
Hi Nich, Is The Silver Coast same as the Algarve?
Not at all, it's cooler and the ocean is wilder. It's less touristy though. One day I'll get up there to make a video comparison.
Hi I saw you said it would be o.k if viewers asked questions on living in Portugal, I plan on moving there in Dec 2022 is there any areas in Portugal considered undesirable & are older homes a bad investment or should i go with a new apt ?
Hi Mi, it depends on if you want or have the ability to fix something up. Generally if you fix an old property up yourself you can create a better investment but you'll need to have local knowledge and building skills.
