These attractions are assets for those who want to spend a nice holiday, but those who come to stay will end up getting to know better the Portuguese people, friendly, available and affable. If you don’t speak the language, apart from the fact that many Portuguese can speak English, there will always be a way to understand each other.
The infrastructures are are among the best in Europe, especially in terms of road access. Even the Francisco Sá Carneiro airport (Porto) has already received several awards. Public education and health care are on a par with the European average, which is also an attraction for those wishing to settle in the country.
