Thank you for sharing!! Very informative!! Would love to hear more about the prefab companies.. possible the name of a couple the companies.. more about the rules of the islands for the prefabs.. thank you!!!
I the case of paint peeling, we were told it is the salts in the sand when it is not flushed out properly, since it comes from the sea, and not in the cement. When they mix the cement with the sand it becomes one and then it blisters like that. We did a new build in manhenha and have had no blistering. Then again it was built by my brother, a master at his trade. Enjoy your stay.
That is exactly correct, Lucilia. I think the people/workers have the option to use higher quality sands, but decide against it in order to save money. It's good if you not only have an expert doing the job, but an expert that cares. Take acre!
Hey, could you make a video about local people mentality, values, relation between local - foreigners, integration, as for example how to get accepted to the local community and stuff like that
Hi Carlos thanks for the great videos I'm from the Azores Terceira, but current living in California I bought a house last year Planning to move back when retired Cheers to your channel keep up the good work buddy 👍 😊
There are budgets for everyone. The less expensive properties will need a lot more work. The island of Sao Miguel would have more to choose from. Not easy finding properties ready to move in for under 150,000. Cheers!
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed them. The houses that have a lot of humidity problems are the older houses built with thick lava stones or the newer block houses built by low quality workers. All this can be controlled & fixed with heating units, dehumidifiers, fire places and the most important top quality insulation. I hope this helps. Cheers!
Great video Carlos thank you, 😢I just got back to Toronto and I already miss it can’t wait to go back. I just spent 3 1/2 weeks there and loved every second of it.
I live in Fiji. One of the costly parts of island living is travel cost. From Fiji it costs $700-2000 to get anywhere off the islands. What does it cost to reach the azores?
Hello Carlos, I'm Paulo born in the Azores but living in the US for many years and I'm thinking of moving back for retirement. Would you share the price of each property you filmed? Thank you 🙏
Mr Carlos please do you know someone willing to rent a house with 2 bedrooms nas Lages, Roque o Madalena? I'm retired 65 years old born in Terceira Island lived in Massachusetts.Thank you for your time and patience.
Hi Gina! Yes, we did give the prices. It was at the end of the video, we used 2 big titles with the location and price. Here on the islands, it's simplicity at its best. Take care!
Here they are, the 7 amazing regions of Portugal. The Northern region, the Center region, the Lisbon region, the Alentejo region, the Algarve region, and the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira. It would be great to visit all of them on 1 single trip! I hope this helped you! Cheers!
Can’t believe it’s been 3 years! I’ve been watching from the beginning and before we had even gone to Portugal. We’d love to visit the Azores next.
Time is flying by, especially here on the island. Thanks for being part of our journey from the beginning. Take care!

We do touch on these subjects throughout some of our videos. We are planning on doing more. Take care!

Thanks for the video!! Pico is a paradise!
Do you find your price assessments for what to expect for 70k, 150k, 250k are the same for Sau Miguel as well? Thanks!

Thanks for the good videos. Do you know if houses usually have a lot of indoor air problems? Some houses look moldy in the pictures.

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it. You start missing the island, even before you leave. Weird, but true! Take care, Sergio.

Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the house tours. To be honest, it might be better to tear down and build new houses - except for the adegas.
Thank you for watching. I guess it will depend on who buys it, some might do just that. Take care!
Great video Carlos!
Thank you, Maria! Cheers!
Excellent video, Carlos!! Thank you!! 🙏🙏 I just need to convince my wife 🤣
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. After a visit, she will be hooked. Take care Mathew!

Hi, thanks for reaching out.
I would need more information; when, how long, and how many people. Here is my email. Cheers!

You didn’t give us the price of both properties. Thank you for the video. I’m from Serra Da Estrela and looking for a simple place by the sea.
Hi Gina! Yes, we did give the prices. It was at the end of the video, we used 2 big titles with the location and price. Here on the islands, it's simplicity at its best. Take care!
Hi
It's long time I didn't see your video
Hello 🤩
We do a video every week, a small taste of our island life. Cheers!
Tell me what are the seven regions of Portugal?
