Where to LIVE in the Eastern ALGARVE

- čas přidán 27. 06. 2024
- Hi, I'm Nick and I've been living in the Algarve for over 21 years. Today I'm exploring the EASTERN ALGARVE. I think it's an amazing place to live and to be so close to the water (withouth the harsher weather in the west). Get in touch with Sandy for more info about apartments, condos, developments and beautiful villas www.algarveaddicts.com/sandy
COMING SOON: International schools in the Algarve, Importing, buying and driving a car in the Algarve and much more!

Thank you for sharing the interesting video.👍👍
You are doing a great job Nick. I have watched many ex-pat video's, and you are one of my top 3 favorites. Congratulations on 10k subscribers!!! I'm excited to see more of the eastern Algarve.
Fantastic, thanks Diane. Who are the other two, I may well know them?
@@AlgarveAddicts Expats Everywhere and Nicki Positano. I have watched many others, but I don't stick with them because they get political, or are not down to earth, etc. I also like American in Portugal.
@@AlgarveAddicts Just heard that you will be working with Expats Everywhere! Great news.
Yup, I'm going to have a chat with Josh on Tuesday 👍🏼
@@dianel5912 aww hugs Diane:).
Love the drone shots
Thanks Ardy, I love that part of it too, sooo much fun flying!
Great video, sorry about your drone!! Loved Pippa’s apartment too....so interesting as I love the Eastern Algarve.
Thanks 😎
Thanks Sheena! 👋🏻
Congrats on your 10 000 subs. Awesome intro , the visuals and music are beautiful. Sorry to hear your drone is no more. Fabulous informative video, thanks Nick.
Hi Hilary 👋🏻 It's really thrilling to see more people enjoying the Algarve on CZcams. Great to hear from you again.
Nice video Nick, hoping to meet you for a beer/ coffee when I come over in January 2022. Keep safe
Damn your video's get better and better, love your work!
Thanks Gunther! 🙏
Love your videos and dedication to the information. Keep it up!
Thanks so much 👍🏼
Great video. LOVE Pippa's apartment!!!
Yes, it is lovely, isn't it?
love it as usual!!! Rock Star, I love all the drone photos!
Thanks Veronica, let's get together soon.
Congratulations all the way from California for your 10k subscribers!
Love your content, information, shortish and production. We hope to get there soon! Thank you!
Thanks Gregory! It's really exciting watching the channel grow and I was trying to figure out how to fit all the great content that I had into this video when I decided to end it at about 14 mins this morning. I think it's important to keep them relatively short.
Thanks for your informative videos, Nick. They are really helping us out in planning our move to Portugal.
Fantastic Ola, I'm really happy they're helping.
Fantastic video, thanks Nick. Eastern Algarve looks amazing. Look forward to your video on Fuseta.
Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for watching Gina👋🏻
Love Portugal , my birth place , hope to be in a position to move back and semi retire one day 🤞🏻
Good luck with the dream, I am so lucky to have moved over here.
10 000 subs!! Wow! Well it certainly shows in the video and content quality. Well done!
Thanks Andrew! It's wonderful that you watch all of these🙏
Nick,
Another great presentation! Can’t wait to see your take on Cabanes. We were just there for 5 days and loved that place. We drove to Seville in 2 hrs!
Yes, I have some more footage of Cabanas, one day I'll do another video on this area. It's pretty quaint.
Thanks for doing these videos, Nick. We moved to Portugal 1.5 months ago and are renting in Sítio now and traveling around to see where we will rent/or buy next. Your videos are really helpful.
Thanks Sandra, appreciate your watching. 👍🏼
I'm really looking forward to your next videos on Cabanas and Fuseta!
Me too, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Your videos are always so informative and well done Nick. Hope to be settled in at Vila Real de Santo Antonio in October
Thanks Warren, congrats on the impending move! I hope all goes well.
Hey Nick. Awesome video. We are now in Portugal, arrived on Sunday, and are now just going through our 14 day quarantine required for coming from South Africa. So excited!!
Fantastic! Enjoy the journey.
Stunning!
Cheers Gary👍🏼
Great video, especially the intro and first part with the maps and your explanation. Your use of maps and Google Earth is your forte!
Thanks James! 👌🏼
Great video! I appreciate your analysis and real estate focus. FYI I was subscribed before and just realized I wasn’t subscribed now! That explains why your videos haven’t been in my feed lately. I have heard content creators say some people become unsubscribed due to a glitch in the system or whatever. A belated congrats on 10k subs! 🤙
Thanks so much Glic. Onwards and upwards!
Nice job Nick! I love the modern new apartments. Hard to believe the bathroom is so small. But it's cool place. I'd like a place like that but close access to an old traditional town.
Thanks Larry. There was another much bigger bathroom, but yes it's a lovely block and super convenient.
Another great video Nick, good job! ALGARVE is everyone's dream🤙👌 Hugo Semião
Obrigado Hugo 👍🏼
Another great video
Thanks so much Frank.
Hello Nick, great job with your videos. Very educational & informative. Please state the titles of your awesome musical interludes. You’re one of my top 3 presenters and experts on ALL things PORTUGAL.
Thanks Santiago, they're generally in the description.
Thanks for the info. Myself and my partner are looking into relocating to Portugal from Cape Town. We're starting to do our research and will hopefully be there in the next 2 years. Definitely going to keep an eye on your channel 😁
Cheers Mosh, send a wave to "my" mountain 👋🏻
Really enjoyed this video as we are moving to the Moncarapacho/Fuseta area in just about 10 days! We are renting to start. Glad to hear such a positive review of my new adopted homeland.
Good luck Janice!
Wonderful, I like how the eastern Algarve seems to feel. The cliffs in the west are stunning, but this seems nice and laid back. Congrats on 10K btw.
Thank you so much John 🙏
@@AlgarveAddicts I don't comment on every video but I do watch them and try to make sure and like. Really do appreciate the content.
I appreciate you watching John 👍🏼
Great video! What a sad moment it was to see your drone go down!
It was tough, and we lost a good SD card. I owe you one bro.
Hi, in case you haven't tried, you may be able to get a warranty replacement for your drone. Another group I follow had their drone suddenly go crazy and crash into a tree top. The drone company was able to access the last moments of the flight and determined that it was caused by a hardware/software defect. Their drone was replaced without charge.
Thanks Donella, I'll try and follow up with DJI.
Great Video!
Thanks Marco! 👍🏼 Good luck with your channel.
Parabéns pelos 10.000 assinantes. Simpatia sincera pelo drone. Não sabia de todo este desenvolvimento do Algarve de leste. Obrigado pelo vídeo.
Obrigado e obrigado por assistir👍🏼
I so appreciate this information about the East Algarve! I hope to visit there in Fall, 2022 for my initial trip to Portugal. Your videos have been very helpful for this future ex-Pat dreamer! Portugal looks amazing!! Video idea: I live in Nashville and would love a know more about the various music scenes in Portugal. Bless you, Nick!
Hi Theresa, thanks for watching 👍🏼 I've been thinking about that and how to cover the local music scene, as I used to follow a lot of local bands around here back in the day. Good video idea!
Great! I will def be watching for that one!
Stunning places in Eastern Algarve, so are the Westerns'! It's really hard to pick one out. I'll be moving to Porgugal in 2025, so I'd like to thank you so much for helping us to get to know a lot more about Algarve. Cheers from Brazil.
You're welcome Lourimar 👍🏼
Hi Nick,
Again great video, I love your drone work so much, even more unfortunate that you had this accident...
Warm regards from Fonte Benémola
Ralph
Hey Ralph! It was crazy bumping into you at Bean 17 last week. As I me tioned we were filming close to Benemola last week.
Between Google Earth and your drone stuff at the beginning the drone is worth its weight in gold. That was as good of a description of an area I've ever seen. Actually great advertisement for DJI and hopefully they cover some or all of your losses. Maybe sending them the footage to show them the drone in action. I hope 🤔 10K is just the beginning. GL from Vancouver. Might B there in Autumn.
Thanks William, hopefully Canadians can come over soon, I hear a lot of you are keen to come.
Very nice video thanks from the United States. Love Portugal.
Thanks Mike. 👍🏼
Congratulations 👏 i see your videos good job
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Fantastic video!
Thanks, it's a beautiful part of the world!👍🏼
@@AlgarveAddicts Yes, definetely! I know the Algarve region very well. Next year I will finally move to Portugal. I can't stand german winters any longer, especially the darkness. Could you recommend me an english or german speaking lawyer in the Algarve? Do you also work as a real estate agent?
I don't work as a real estate agent but I know people who do. I have a lawyer for you. Subscribe to my email list on www.algarveaddicts.com and you'll get all the answers.
@@AlgarveAddicts Yes, I will subscribe. Thank you very much!
Hi Nick! I will be in the Algarve in July looking at properties initially in Lagos, then Cacela Velha...hope to meet you at some point!
Hi Olga, hopefully we'll have a meet up in July. Make sure you're signed up to my email list so you don't miss it --> www.algarveaddicts.com
Nicely done informative video. Sad about the drone,, but oh my, a tragedy is certainly relative. I thought that you had an accident and several people died.
Hahah, so it was a bit too dramatic then?🤣
Hi Nick, we really enjoy your informative show. My husband and I will be in Portugal next month. We would like to meet with you for a coffee/tea. Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi Farah, thank you so much for watching. Unfortunately I don't really have time.
Hi Nick thanks for another great video. Sorry about your drone! What are rentals like in the Eastern Algarve?
Hi Cathy, they'll be a bit cheaper than the west but it's all about availability. Not much available. Email me if you're looking for one, I know some people.
Good morning from Canada, you make my little country loke better than the Maldives😂😂😂😂
Thanks Grace! It's so pretty, it doesn't need much 😎👍🏼
Hi Nick, I enjoy all your videos and growing more and more excited about it, can you tell me if there's association fees when you own apartment or condos?
Hi Corina, thanks so much for watching, yes when you move into a building there are almost always condominium fees and really boring condominium meetings :)
Production gold. Incredible video, man. How many people speak English in the Algarve? Or...how essential are your Portuguese skills?
Thanks! Just about everyone can speak some basic English (but it's polite to learn a little :) ) Naturally you'll be fine in all the tourist towns like Lagos, Albufeira Vilamoura and Tavira.
Hi Nick great videos. Small idea, just last week was discussing drones over water. Turns out attaching empty water bottles to under them means they don't sink should they hit the drink
Wow, interesting idea. However if it had even been over land it probably would have crashed so hard it would have broken. It turns out that a propeller had come off... Scary stuff.
You Guys should Try Aveiro Portugal Amazing
Who me, Ernie?
@@AlgarveAddicts yes you should Beautiful City they call Veneza of Portugal everything is much sheap then Algarve or Lisbon
Yup been there, I would love to go again.
I'm coming to Eastern Algarve in late September / early October.
Gonna swtau in Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António. + explore in between.
You already know my dislike of Albufeira hehe, looking for the opposite
Great stuff, hopefully you can swing by for a coffee in São Brás.
Hi Nick! Great vid, as always! The rental apartment your friend was in, how much (approximately, at the time) was it? It is helpful to gage real time prices with actual properties. I realize you can't always do that but here is a good example when it may be possible.... Obrigada!
Hi M, sorry it was ages ago when we did that video. If you'd like some help with rentals we may be able to help you out --> www.algarveaddicts.com/contact
Yeah very nice intro, the best part. Portugal's south coast looks like it's on the way to becoming paved with apartment blocks that few Portuguese can afford.
Yes, possibly, however coastlines are naturally becoming the most expensive and sought after part of any country. The further away you are, the cheaper the property. It's true for anywhere...
I am sorry I did not realize I can buy you a beer, to support your channel or if needed book a consultation, I have no issues with the support
Thank you! That's very kind.
I'm sorry your drone decided to go scuba diving.
Hehehe, me too 😿
Hi, great stuff but I wondered why your Eastern Algarve stops just at the end of the barrier islands? I haved lived in Altura for 2 years now. Yes I know it's mad busy in the summer but I can walk directly onto the beach which I do every day. In Cabanas e.g. the small boats to the islands (I think) don't run in the winter. Big deal IMO.
Good point Michael, sadly I just couldn't fit it all in.
Shortish = approach! Darn spellcheck...
Nick, my brother and I are coming to Portugal in late August to look at properties and different areas of Portugal. We'd like to find a property that needs updating that we can flip. Is this something that you could help us with?
For sure, the best way is to fill in this form www.algarveaddicts.com/home and Keely will get in touch. She'll be able to help you find a property hopefully.
Loved this video. Do you know if you need to be vaccinated to enter Portugal?
Hi Caren, not as far as I know, but you'll definitely have to present a COVID test which is less than 72 hours old. The best is to check with your Portuguese embassy website.
Caren so far you only need the Test to get to Portugal
Some of those new whiteout apartments can be a bit soulless. I hope this is one of a series Nick. Glad your friend wasn't Pippa Middleton.
Hehe, she wasn't one of the Middleton's. Yes, modern can seem soulless to some but they're right next door to a village with loads of character.
Great video.Can you still use the drone after it was recovered
Hi Amadou! 👋🏻 No sadly it was a write off, but I guess that's the cost of a CZcams channel. I'll definitely be more careful in future though.
@@AlgarveAddicts Congratulations also for the 10 K subscribers .
Thanks Amadou, here's to 100k! 💥
Is the water slightly warmer in the Formosa?
Yes, it certainly is Stephen.
I think the good explorative video on Eastern Algarve was a Fantastic idea. But when you lost your drone it messed up the video, you kind of lost a drive and train of thought there. Is it possible to remake it and include Cacela Velha and Villa Nova (or do a video of those 2)?
Good criticism, I'll rewatch this one. I have another one coming up about the area.
We hope to be somewhere in the eastern Algarve in 2 to 3 years... or it could be Lagos 😂 So we will keep watching hopefully make it to one of your 'meetups'. We're also known as @plantogo_portugal on Instagram. Still lots of exploring to do once Covid allows it.
Yes, COVID is really hanging on and making life tough for all of us 😥Good luck with your journey.
How is the fishing in this area. Can I get a guide to take me fishing?
You sure can. Most of the fishing tours I've seen have left from Vilamoura or Albufeira. If you want to go from the eastern Algarve go and nose around the fishing boats. I'm sure some old fisherman will take you. If you get stuck I'll come and do it with you as long as I can film it. Could be fun :)
Good day I hope you are well, thanks so much for the information you provide to all of your followers Thanks much , I am hoping to retire to Vilamoura, my wife is a EU citizen I am not, but it is my understanding that we can retire to Portugal our budget for rent is between 2000/2500 Euros but of course we would prefer to be at the lower end of our budget, we are hoping not to need a car which allows for the hire end of our budget, but we must be in a location where we can walk, ride a bike, and rent the car if needed, of course the beach plays a vital role in our plans along with the weather, we may think down the road to purchase , I have two question I hope you can help us first is our budget practical for Vilamoura, we tend to like areas that are a bit organize, our second question is if not Vilamoura, what you advise we are open to suggestions feel free to be candid thanks so much G
Hi G, yes I think you could live pretty well on that budget in Vilamoura. Have a look around www.idealista.pt/en for an idea of prices and then contact me through my website www.algarveaddicts.com when you're ready to do some more detailed planning. Good luck!
I'm looking for a rural area not far from the sea or private hospitals as I have a very elderly family. I feel sad that the quality of the larger homes are not as good as in let's say Marbella or Cannes. I wonder if we should buy land and build our own home...we're coming from the UAE.
Hi there, I'd suggest you have a chat with Keely. She's extremely helpful, fill in this form www.algarveaddicts.com/home and she'll get back to you next week.
@@AlgarveAddicts thanks so much
Forgive me. What is a T2 property?
No problem, it's a two bedroomed place.
Hi! New friend here! Full support! Done! Waiting! Great video! See with us always together, ok? 💋
Welcome to the channel! It's great to have you.
Is it open to USA tourists yet?
Apparently not, but it's changing all the time. I'm a bit confused to be honest, the US / Portuguese embassy says you can come but apparently some people are being turned away at the airports. Other websites say you can't come. I'd love to know what's going on.
Jean Portugal it’s open for Americans or other countries to you only need to take the Test
Just a comment for the algorithm 😎
Thanks Luis! We need to pay homage to the almighty algorithm 🤣 Do you watch @stayclassy as well?
@@AlgarveAddicts yes I do
They're good people.
Where is sandy’s link?
It's in the description but here you go www.algarveaddicts.com/sandy
Do you need to speak PORTUGUESE or you can go by with just English?
You can get by with English, but it's polite to learn Portuguese.
How much is this nice woman paying for rent (to get a ballpark number)?
Hey Oleg, that particular place is a holiday rental. Are you thinking about long term rentals?
Horrid modern apartments could be any where in the world
That sure could be, but they're not. They're right next to a lovely old Portuguese town.
Eastern algarve is the not interesting except for olhao and faro.
What's not interesting, Mike? Everything except Olhão and Faro?
Great Video Bud!!
Is it possible to own a rustic land parcel (2-4 Hectares) in Algarve region (Lagos, portimao, etc) and turn it into a vineyard ?
Lastly, what other places in portugal would you suggest for buying "Cheap" land to turn into vineyard?
I'd suggest you go to central Portugal, near Castelo Branco. Not much cheap land in the Algarve. Check out @okportugal
