We love the country, even though we are city folk, and once our children came along we knew we had to show them what country life is all about. And we succeeded! One is hooked on fishing thanks to the lake right by us and the other loves wildlife - insects, bugs, animals so he has found his ideal playground!
We are not Portuguese but have lived here on and off for 20 years. We love the people, the country, the weather and the pace of life. It´s incredibly safe making it an ideal place to bring up children. We are a mixture ourselves, English- Italian brought up in South Africa and Irish-German brought up in Wales! It only seemed right to add yet another country and culture to our mixture...
