I'm Portuguese, born and raised in the Algarve and I still watched this 😅 Great video, well done 👍🏼

Silves is a hidden gem. Calm, peaceful, quiet, we live a few kilometres outside the town. Lovely castle, cathedral, quaint side streets, super weekend food market...couldn't be happier...perfect if you're after a more rural lifestyle ten minutes inland from the coast...

Nick, I’m Brazilian-Portuguese and let me tell you, this video was LEKKER BRU!!

Hello .. thank you for reminding me of the Algarve, where I lived from 1987 to 2004. .We left Algarve in 2004, when we relocated to Madeira. I am still living in Madeira, and at the age of 80 , will not be moving away. So, almost 35 years . Thanks for all the memories. ❤️ Valerie Farrington.

Your’s is the single best overview of the region we’ve seen. Thank you.

Great video Nick. Thank you. Nicely laid out and really informative.

Beautiful Video Nick as always. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place of Algarve.

Thanks, Nick, It was good to see again all the great places that we have visited over the years and be reminded of, what a wonderful region the Algarve really is. Looking forward to seeing more of your in-depth videos on the places of interest. Keep up the good work.

Thank you; this is so helpful and informative! I'm planning to visit the Algarve later in the year.

Hi and thanks for an interesting video, living in the Algarve for the last few years and now stuck in the uk watching the grey sky and rain it has cheered me up. Ameixial on the N2 and surrounding area might make a good video when COVID goes away. Take care and stay safe.

Thanks Nick. We are planning a move to the Algarve with a search visit this March. All of your information was of great help to us.

A well presented and informative video, really helpful...thanks, Nick!

Great overview Nick, thanks. Hope to buy there soon!

Hi Nick! Great to see new videos from Algarve Addicts. This is a terrific video and and most helpful and timely for our plans. Your passion for the Algarve is fantastic.

Such a great video!! Thank you for all the information provided. I follow you and Ken and dreaming to visiting Portugal.

Thank you Nick! So helpful. I will be in touch with you. Catherine, from the US

Thank you. Very authentic, informative and useful.

Thanks for these videos, Nick! I love how it feels like we just met you in a bar and we asked what it is like to live there. So natural and conversational.

Hi Nick, thank you very much for sharing the excellent information. You give a great overview and local tips!

Excellent overview of the Algarve. Thank you so much for your effort here, Nick. We've ended up in the Algarve for winter and this has been a great introduction to the region for us. Looking forward to exploring it all now. Great job! 👍👍

Great video! Thank you for the information, my family and I are hoping to be in Faro in 2021.

Super well done. Was looking for someone to explain the Algarve to me like this! Subbed

Outstanding video! Very practical, down to earth presentation including the vibe of each of the areas.

I really enjoyed your video, it was very informative and fun. You tell it like it is, and I appreciate that.

Im so glad I found your channel! Thank you so much for this video. I'm hoping to move to Portugal this year. I was pretty much set on the Algarve because of the weather, but I wasn't sure where to begin to look. Your video has really helped me narrow down my choices. Thanks again!

Bom dia Nick, being here for 20 years now too I really enjoyed your well presented overview of this stunning place packed with these kind of information only a local could give. Thank you very much for this, muito obrigada x

Thank you so much, Nick, for a wonderful tour of the Algarve from Albufeira to Lagos! You were a terrific guide and you are SO full of useful knowledge. Cheers to you and your assistance. You certainly "know your stuff"!

Excellent video. Very informative. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. I'm looking at the D7 Visa and researching various places in Portugal. Your knowledge and insight was super helpful. 🙏

Retiring in a year, this video was very helpful! Will surely be one of my first destinations to explore! Merci ☺️

Very Informative, we are going in January, so we appreciate the info, great video.

Wow awesome job! I live in the Algarve all my life. Very accurate and a lot of beautiful work done here! Well done Nick!

Great job, Nick. Very informative.

Such a useful video. It’s helped us come up with a short list of potential places to settle. We’re moving to PT without a preTrip so couldn’t do it without this kind of info. Thanks!

Hi Nick, the family and I are moving to the Algarve soon. We have already done loads of research, but this video was extremely informative and helpful. Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for the great information. I loved how you have a slide show of every place that you spoke of. It gave me an idea of what that place looks like. You gave great explanations of each place. Sailing,tours walking,fishing partying,shops. I loved this video obrigada 😁

Amazing amount of great information... you sure know Algarve well! Algarve has been my playground since the early 80’s until recently... Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Algarve! 👍😘👏

Excellent narration nick with perfect explanations of how wonderful the whole algarve is , after 40 years experience of all these areas we can assure people this is the very best video they could watch, well done.

Very good video! You did it like no other so far! Greetings from another Algarve addict, missing it.

Awesome video - perfect overview of the the Algarve. Thanks!

This is such a helpful video! I'm planning a trip in 2022 and really wanted to know more about the different areas. Thank you!

Thanks Nick for insight. We had to postpone our golf trip but reviewing 2021 options. August time frame.

Thank you so much for the great video! I loved the air footage of the different councils. Great work! And wow you answer most comments! Inspiration 😄

Great introductory video to the region. My husband and I are researching a move to the Algarve in the next 2 years. I have many questions and will certainly be emailing you! Thank you, Nick!

i appreciated very much the honesty!

👏👏👏👏. This is the best video I have seen about Portugal and I have watched 100s of videos. Bravo 👏 and many thanks for the nice tour of Algarve 🙏 🙏🙏😄.

really nice video!!i am living in the Algarve,Lagos area,(originally from Greece)almost a year now and nice to hear about it from a local

Thank you so much!!! So informative 👍👍 we need this!!!!

Thank you for all of that wonderful information.

Hi Nick, fellow South African and new subscriber here, so good to hear a familiar accent! ❤️ We’re considering retiring to the Algarve so your channel is just what we need. Looking forward to watching a lot more of your helpful information!

Well Done Nick! 👏❤You promoted the Algarve and the region really well

Hi Nick, just met you and it was a pleasure...I really enjoyed your version of showing the Algarve and I'll be watching all your videos in hope of finding my future place. Thank you!

I just subscribed. I was so impressed by your quick and informative presentation. I don’t know this area but now I have a much clearer idea. I would love to go there. Thank you.

Thank you for the very informative and interesting video. I fell in love with Portugal a few years ago on a trip to Portugal and Spain. We flew into Lisbon and after a few days rented a car for a drive to Evora. After a two night stay we drove to Lagos where we had a wonderful stay exploring the beautiful coast. I got hooked on Portuguese Wine and the food we had in all areas was some of the best we have eaten in all of our European trips. I often thought The Algarve would be an amazing place for retirement.

Thanks Nick! Clear English 👌👌

Awesome video Nick. Love it & great intro to the Algarve. Just so interesting 🤔 with lovely cultural mix. Greetings from Saudi and Somerset (West)

Hi Nick, thanks for this amazing video packed with great information. I am Portuguese but from Porto. I know a few towns in Algarve but only from the tourist point of view. I try to go down off peak season but still I end up only experiencing more of the tourist side. I have been thinking about moving to Algarve for awhile now and I was doing some research and found your video. I subscribed so I can see more amazing videos about life in Algarve to help me decide on a town. I had my heart set in Tavira for awhile but there’s so much culture in so many other towns that I fell like I need to do more research. Also I guess Algarve is quite accessible to allow people to enjoy all that each city has to offer. I didn’t know there was a market in Loulé. That’s totally my vibe. I grew up on a farm and know what real produce tastes like. I will make sure to look up at all these factors. Again, thank you so much for this video. I grew up thinking other countries were better. And I even lived abroad a few years and traveled around and then I realized we have it pretty good here. Since I like coastal life and sunshine so much I realized the best move would be Algarve. And more and more I see it has potential for full time living. I guess that’s a misconception we Portuguese people have that Algarve is a dead place only livable in summer.

This is fabulous!!! Thank you for the west to East!!! Now I have to go East to West on a video but stop at Faro.

Super charming walk through of the Algarve. Thanks so much. We were fortunate enough to be in the Algarve in January just before lock down. We'll definitely return to Portugal, our favourite of the many countries and continents to which we've travelled in the past ten years. Portugal is an affordable retirement refuge from countries like mine (Canada) that are rapidly becoming too expensive in which to grow old.

Thanks so much for this informative overview. Well presented, to the point and detailed with helpful points of interest that nicely gave the feel of each specific location. My wife and I are thinking of moving to Portugal from the US and appreciated this very much.

Just subscribed. SAfrican here too looking to retire in Portugal from New Zealand. Thanks for your generous sharing of knowledge and thorough coverage. Love you style of presentation. Looking forward to watch them all.

Hi Nick, this was the most useful video about Algarve I have seen so far. II heave plans to buy an apartment in Algarve once this virus situation is over. I'm an American citizen and as you know Portugal borders rare closed for American tourists . I'll get in touch when I'm ready to go. Thank you very much for taking the time to tell us all absolutely it the little cities in the Algarve.

Great informational video. This was incredibly helpful. I love Algarve. I am Portuguese. Born in Portugal and immigrated to the United States. I plan on moving back to Portugal someday.

Great to come across your channel, thanks for the info!

Really Great Video! Saving this One! Thank You!

What an awesome video from a fellow SAFFA! You are definitely cementing my decision to move. I just need to find out what my job options are now lol.. Thanks again Nick! Keep on posting!

Mate I just loved your video, I am from Chile, but I lived in London England, Brisbane Australia and now living in Dubai and everything you say makes so much sense to me, I am so bored in Dubai, only malls everywhere, but that place in your video with all the history, diversity and genuine people and culture just makes me want to move there right now, I´ll keep watching your channel mate, cheers!!

Great list Nick. Obrigada! I quite like Lagos and area... Sagres is my favourite spot in the the Algarve... I like the wildness of it.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience of Algarve. You are a true expert.

I am Portuguese born and I must say, this is a very well composed video. Very informative 👏 Well done.

Great overview!

Thank you for this. Great info!

Hi Nick, I'm also from Cape Town and looking to move to Algarve at the end of the year! So happy I found your channel for very valuable info :)

Hi Nick, we are from Durbanville Capetown and looking at Portugal. Great video!

Have been holidaying in Armacao de Pera for the last 25years, same aparthotel, same room and same two weeks. Love the place.

Thanks Nick! You were a wealth of knowledge! I just moved from the US a month ago and am in Setubal for now. Trying to decide where I want to land. This sheds some light on some potentials!

Very descriptive ‼️ I really appreciate it. Thank you 😊

Thank you very much for your informative video about the Algarve area. My wife and I have been thinking of living in Portugal. However, our main focus is on the Azores as they offers a more quiet and removed

Can not wait to get back the lovely Algarve thanks

I've watched your video 3 times now in order to research my move to Portugal . The most informative video I have watched. Brilliant, thankyou.

Brilliant video, you always give such good information.

Wow. This video was so awesome. I'm American, my wife is South African/Portuguese with some family still in cape town. We are moving to Portugal from Atlanta, Georgia USA within a year. This vid was perfect. Thank you.

Anywhere and everywhere is great if it's in algarve! I found a great cheap beautiful property in alcantarilha! It's quite near the beach but not in the middle of the chaotic housing by the beach!

Excellent video Nick with masses of useful info....Many thanks.

Wonderful video, your knowledge and enthusiasm makes me want to vist. Was thinking about Lanzarote to move to , need to investigate the Algarve now.

The best overview's Algarve I’ve seen.

There's a couple of things not mentioned in this video : unemployment raising at crazy numbers 60% more this past years, there's no diversity of jobs, because the Algarve is a place to serve Germans, Brits, Dutch and French so if you want to work in the Algarve get ready to embrace (HOSPITALITY) with low salaries and a lot of work! Do to the fact that the minimum wage in Portugal is 665 euros, PLEASE Keep buying our houses at high prices so the young generation of people that actually live and work here will never be able to afford a house! I live in Carvoeiro for many years and my grandfather changed the name of our house from (Carvalho) to (Oaks) so we would feet in, do to the fact Portuguese people are a minority in a lot of this places aboved mentioned. So to the viewers of this video and comment section, if you planning to move to the Algarve, Please! Bring work, bring ideas and projects because the Algarve needs it!

Fantastic insight to the area, I appreciate your effort.

This is a fantastic overview for people considering where to live - thanks!!

Im a portuguese expat living in Europe and I've just come across your vids a few days ago. I have to say this is probably the most comprehensive, authentic, interesting, fun to watch yet rigorous video I've seen about the Algarve. You've made me start thiking about relocating back to Portugal, who knows, even to the Algarve - who knows - although being originaly from Porto i enjoy a bit of cold, rainy days and mountains nearby (not that we have many in Portugal that you can call true mountains). You're probably the best advocate for Algarve tourism and economy right now. Loved the SA accent, btw. Take care. Looking fwd to check out some of your other vids. 👍😉

Great video. Keep it the way you are doing it, informative, nitty gritty, boots on the ground. No need for 4k drone videos or videos about dinners like many of those other vloggers do, that is just tiring to watch. Thanks and best of luck !

Lekker video! You made the best video of the Algarve, it's a perfect overview of the region. Thank you very much, I should be there in about 5 weeks to check out some of the towns on your list. Greetings from beautiful Scarborough /Cape Town.

Thanks so much..so lovely to hear the familiar accent! Will be writing perso for some advice, thank you! So hard to move when you're in lockdown!!!

I love the Algarve, went there on holidays every summer on a road trip with my family. but Lisbon will always be the place for me. Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra were all the places I grew up in and in my opinion are the best places to live.

When I came to live here thirty years ago, whatever you needed you just headed for the 125 road and drive along there and you would find it, d

Good stuff, very informative . Thank you

Thank you! This video was very helpful.
