One thing that concerns me about living in central Portugal is the need to drive everywhere. How dependent on a car would someone be living in a town like Alpedrinha? or Fundão? I do what to thank you for this organized presentation and especially the way you orient us to the physical locations and relations of the towns. The footage and honest commentary ain't bad either! :)

Hey 👋 we live near Fundão and we do use our vehicles a lot but that’s because we like to explore. Fundão has everything you could need though (in our opinion) so it could be possible to walk or use a push bike if you lived in the city 😃 there’s a guy that lives in our village who we sometimes give lifts to into Fundão he gets around ok.

@@jonnyandsamofficial was going to say that a gas-sipping motorcycle might be good too. Looks like you two are already there. I think a Honda NC750 would be a great choice if one can transfer a high-capacity motorcycle driver's license to Portugal. But I also know from a December trip up north that rain and snow would make a car indispensable a few months of the year unless one were pretty close to a stocked town.

@@AlgarveAddicts I've never driven in my life, my eyesight is not good enough to have a driving license, and I lived in the interior for a good part of my life and still go there often ALWAYS by public transport. From my village, I walk 5 minutes trough a forest to the nearest bus stop that will take me as far as Lisbon (Orient) and Lisbon airport. Direct trip in less than 2 hours. Several bus services daily. From Lisbon airport I've flown everywhere in the globe. You don't need a car, you can have very good quality of life without one specially if you live solo without dependents. Check long distance routes and connections, they exist, and they'll take you anywhere you wish to go.

00:00 🇵🇹 Portugal's house prices have surged, but there's an area where the authentic and affordable Portugal still exists. 06:32 🏡 Pedrógão is in Penamacor, the third cheapest concelho in Portugal. Many are relocating for a less stressful life or retirement. 09:41 🌍 Central Portugal, with towns like Castelo Branco, offers amenities, a new shopping mall, and proximity to Lisbon and the coast. 15:42 🌞 Central Portugal's climate, with warm summers and mild winters, appeals to those escaping colder regions like the UK. 19:01 🏞 Central Portugal provides a different lifestyle, fostering a more social community, with many opportunities to connect with locals and expats.

The central Portugal is very interesting. Who does not want to make a bargain when bying a property? But for me the winterweather is very important. I am planing to avoid the terrible Swedish winters and stay somewhere in the sun in Portugal during the wintermonths. So finding a bargain will be tough, unfortunally, since the South is the only option for me. But, looking forward to your next video.

​@@AlgarveAddicts You're right Nick, they are very different. We are really mountain people as that is where we grew up but I think renting in a quieter area of the Algarve may be a good place to be for a while.
