Hi everyone. My wife and I are looking to retire in Europe, via the Golden Visa Program, and we have narrowed it down to Lisbon, Valencia and Barcelona. While we have been to, and love each place, living in a place is very different from being there for 1-2 weeks on holiday. Our favorite currently is probably Lisbon.
My biggest question is that of language barrier. We do not currently speak Portuguese, although we plan to learn. English is always better spoken in more touristy locations, obviously, but what is it like to live here if you only speak English? From our time there we were very impressed by how many people spoke very good English.
I am curious as to others' experiences regarding English speaking and how easy it is to live in Lisbon if you ONLY speak English?
Thanks.
