Awwww will miss you so much, all three of you. But don’t tell Denise you are my fav! It was so nice to run into you guys walking around the neighborhood. My friends and son loved meeting you and enjoyed your hospitality. We visited each other without any formality. You have always been kind with any questions I have had, Denise was always happy to give me golf tips, as I am getting into the groove. It’s very hard to say good bye, to such special people like you guys. I have already checked out your new neighborhood which is beautiful in many ways, but not Cascais and very soon we will meet again. Me casa es Su casa. ♥️
You showed us around Caiscas and we found it so beautiful and charming! We aren’t going to end up there, ourselves, but I am so glad that you introduced us to it. With the friends you have made there, maybe occasional getaways back will be on your agenda…
What a nice tribute to your past year of people you made friends with. I can only imagine that your new home will bring in more great experiences. In just 1 year, your lives were enriched beyond compare and memories you will always look back on. Good luck on the next chapter. Bom viagem!
O you almost have me tears! Thinking of our friendships - and those we left behind. Promising this year to reach out to old and new more frequently Good wishes on the move!
Thanks for your lovely ode to Cascais. I moved from Florida and arrived here on December 29. I am loving it so far and am having dreams of buying here but I am nowhere near the budget that you mentioned so I guess I’ll have to give up on that dream! I love walking along the ocean and also meandering around the streets. The walk to the waterfall that you mentioned by the Mercado sounds great. I’d love to give it a try. Would you please give me some more information about how to get to it?
I’ve heard that VRSA is also a lovely area & I hope you will love your new home. It will be different but will hopefully soon become home. Congratulations and enjoy.!
As you look down on the Mercado from Ave. Abril 25 you will see a parking lot to the left, and white condos . Go through that parking lot and you will see the path
Hello. I so enjoy your writing. Would you be willing to share the name of your realto? My husband and I will soon be scouting for a property in Cascais and are anxious to find a good real estate professional who can help us. Good luck in the Algarve!
thanks so much for this - loving it. for a newbie - considering Portugal as retirement home - Cascais or Algarve - i live in Europe and know a bit from some past trips to Lisbon, Porto, Algarve - but have never lived there - your description of Cascais makes it seem a real option - why are you moving? with BEST wishes in the journey!
Love the article and can feel the connections made to the community which will be continued! Curious if you made an exploratory trip and found your condo, found it virtually or after you were onsite renting? We will be moving in September and could use a realtor referral. Feel free to message me on Facebook 😉or email ljegier@gmail.com
Maybe one of the best places in Portugal but you will also enjoy VRSA, although it will be completely different as you have already realized.
Lively in the Summer and calmer in the Winter. In the Summer you will have to have the air conditioning on most of the time (something I hardly ever use in Porto).
But you will meet lots of nice and friendly people and also make good friends.
Golf in the Algarve is great. I love Quinta da Ria.
So enjoy your future home VRSA.
Maybe in the Summer I will knock at your door to go out for a drink 🥃

You’ve made me fall n love with Cascais too! Can’t wait to visit it and experience much of what you’ve taught us about the city. Thanks so much!

We wanted to own a home with a yard in town which was more affordable in VRSA.
