If you have decided that you would like to live in Portugal even if it is just a trial basis, there are various factors you need to consider in terms of everyday life as a local and this is the cost of living in the area.

Like any area, the prices can rise drastically depending on the popularity of a particular area and there are other important factors to remember such as eating out in sought after locations will definitely cost more than going further inland.

There are many local markets scattered throughout the country where you can buy local produce for a good price but it has been said if you are on a tight budget then you need to consider living in the northern part of Portugal.

Top Tip: If you search carefully then you may be able to purchase a building that may be slightly run down but you will be able to get an excellent price and potentially turn this into your dream home and maybe even a profit further down the line.
