I enjoyed this short read on sport evens in VRSA. Question, Nancy. Does this VRSA sports complex have a swimming pool? how much is the monthly or yearly membership? I'm in planning to the big move to PT in 2 years.....Million thanks for your time

Yes nearly every town has a community pool which is not only available for laps but also for water aerobics typically with an instructor. The fee for a resident is 25 euros/mo for unlimited use or 2.5 euros for 90 minutes. For a non-resident it is only slightly more.

Tô be honest I think we are only good at football (soccer) and mostly independent players.

Anyhow we have been lately earning gold, silver and bronze in other sports we normally didn’t do much. It is a small population….

True...though the Portuguese Rugby Club did well in the 7's tournament.
