I'm new on here and looking at Portgual also. My sister and I are making arrangements for our first visit. I would be the one moving. I' bought the Portgual Bundle but can't access it yet. What are some good Ex-Pat cities? I am an artist, (Painter/Sculptor) here in the states, that also has retirement income. We want to visit this summer, what cities (outer cities) would you all reccomend. Thanks Ted Gillespie
