Hi, we are a couple just turned 60. Planning to move to Portugal for our retirement, and thinking of the algarve mainly for the weather. We are non golfers, but like walking, cycling etc. We can't speak Portuguese and are unlikely candidates to learn it very well either. Will be travelling over in May to check a few places out, and would appreciate advice and opinions from anyone who has made the move and can offer any recommendations.
We would like to be close to amenities, hospital, shopping, transport etc, but not in a city. A smaller place, preferably on the coast with most importantly a good and nice safe community of people who enjoy good food, restaurants wine and company. Somewhere that has a good all year round lively but not rowdy atmosphere.
