Christmas in Portugal
14th December 2011 - 09:26The holiday “season” begins early in Portugal, helped by bank holidays on the 1st December (the Restoration of Independence), and 8th December (The Feast of the Immaculate Conception). By the time these dates arrive, most Portuguese towns are already decked out with trees and sparkly lights. Although the mild weather in much of Portugal means that it may not quite deliver on “bleak and crisp and even,” the country is still a wonderful place to spend more...

When it comes to pets, most people would consider theirs to be a part of the family, which means there is no way that they will get left behind. Every year hundreds of cats, dogs and horses make their way to Portugal more...

29th June 2011 - 08:21Deciding to move to Portugal to live should be a decision that the family makes as a whole, and every family member should be happy about it. The Portuguese are famous for their love of children, and will always be welcoming to a new family if there are children in tow. This could easily work to your advantage as you will; be more likely to find yourself invited to social events and to neighbours houses. Once the move has been decided, a big concern will be the education more...
