My name is helen p. I currently live in the USA, but am of Portuguese descent. I speak Portuguese but was born in USA. I am thinking of visiting/living in Portugal.
Firstly, the area that I am interested is Beja (Alentejo), however I would consider the Algarve area.
Secondly, I would truly like to live in an area that has British or Americans close by.
Thirdly, my son lives in the north of Portugal and is paying $200 euros monthly for rent. He is also considering moving south to where it is warmer and perhaps has an English speaking community. I bring up the rent here because on-line I might not get a cheap price and we are both looking for this price range. If it went to $300 we would be ok too. Someone who is living in these areas might be able to help or steer me in the right direction.
Are there major supermarkets in these areas? Any bookstores with English literature?
If anyone can give me some information regarding the above I would truly appreciate it.
Kindest regards, helen p.
I hope my questions are within bounds.
