Thanks, Nick. A week's holiday in Olhos de Agua, arriving this coming Friday 14th. Visiting Loule and the Market on Saturday 15th. You've given me some great tips for places to see, to eat and to grab a good coffee!

Thanks James, glad I could be of help 👍🏼

[@janyshendrickson3833]

One of my favourite annual vents held in Loulé during the month of February, is the Feira do Chocolate at the Market. It's a week long self-indulgent event of "everything chocolate". Chocolatiers from all over Portugal come to Loulé to demonstrate their craft and sell their wares. So tasty! Thank you for the tour of one of my favourite towns in the Algarve.

[@AlgarveAddicts]

Great point, my family try and keep me away from that as I'm a proper chocaholic!

[@vyvienvp3413]

Hello Nick, well you are spot on with this Loule clip. Very well produced, especially like the Google Earth map interspersed with driving/walking on the ground. Well done a fab job. Love Loule.

[@AlgarveAddicts]

Wow, thank you Sheila.

[@jdhjimbo]

Loule looks like a really lovely town - a great walking place, too. I liked your technique of doing the overhead shot, and then zooming in and giving us a ground view of things. Kind of strange the train station is so removed from the heart of town. With Loule being close to Faro, the transport hub of the Algarve, it looks like a good place to live - close enough to the beaches, but enough away to avoid the onslaught of tourists. The park shown near the end really looked nice. Probably less bustle than normal, due to Covid, but glad some restaurants and shops are open. The climate in the Algarve should be good in repelling any virus. Loule seems like it would be a good starter town to locate in, and perhaps permanently, too. Thanks for the tour, Nick!

[@AlgarveAddicts]

You're welcome, Jim. I'm glad it was useful.

Hi Fred, if you become a resident yes you should be eligible for the national health system (I'd double check with a lawyer though). Private medical is always going to be a better but more expensive solution. It's totally up to you and your own personal conditions.

I visited Loulé and Faro 5 years ago but from what I remember, I get the impression there may not be enough for me to do, even in Faro. Would I compromise a noticeably colder change in winter weather (compared to the Algarve) if I moved to Lisbon, for example?

Lisbon is a few degrees cooler and a little wetter than the Algarve but obviously has lots more on. The Algarve is great for people who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. Hope this helps.
