Moving from Porto to Serpa

Hi,

My wife and I are moving from Porto to a farm near Serpa, Alentejo. This is something we have been wanting to do for the last 3 years. We have been living partly in Goa and Porto since 2011 and have absolutely loved our stay here in Portugal. We have a few good friends here in Porto and hope to make some good friends in Serpa too. My wife speaks Portuguese, French & English fluently, unfortunately I only speak English fluently. Looking forward to hearing from anyone in the region and hope to meet up sometime soon.

Regards and best wishes

Carmelino

Hi Carmelino,
Welcome

I would suggest these 2 youtube channels about expats that bought farms in Portugal. I hope this will help in your new farm.
Best regards.

Channel "OK Portugal"
Uk couple who bought a farm near Castelo Branco. They have done a really good work in the pre-existing house and on the farm itself.

Channel "CindyVine"
In her youtube channel, you can see all the process involved she has passed through to realise her project. This may help anyone who is searching answers in subjects like this one.

Hi All

I am looking at some farms in the Serpa area next week. I am looking all around Portugal but like the idea of being close to Spain.

I have a very international life and I like the idea of not sitting on top of everyone else who has moved to Portugal from over seas. I work with artist of different genres and believe a home in that part of the world might be of interest.

How are you liking your choice .

I would love to hear your impressions ....
