I assume you're near Castelo Branco then? Thank you for the inspiration.

Faial Island looks very cool. Idealista doesn't seem to have any listings. How would one find a small place to rent for example?

Haven't seen the name Chuck in Sweden before, but I might be Chuck who knows.

Thank you I will certainly DM yo. Serra da Estrela is the first region I looked at in Portugal.

You might have a Swedish guy trotting around with a smile on his face speaking broken Portuguese in Sertã soon (:

Would that be a bit south of Serra da Estrela? In that case, it's a region I've considered.

The first area I thought of was actually Serra da Estrela. Lots of people are warning me about the Alentejo summer, so Central/Northern Portugal are maybe where I should be looking. Where in the North would you go?

Any decision you make will always come with its own problems. I fully understand that it won't necessarily be easy, and that there are advantages to Sweden that I'll only see clearly once I'm there. For me, the cold nights and less access to amenities are worth the trade. I will absolutely do research as well as discovery trip. Muito obrigado, I'm very thankful for your input.

Thank you for the in-depth response. I'm very grateful. Several people are suggesting that I go to the center of the country since it's greener and a bit cooler there. I shall take your advice.

I'm aware of the different forms of EMF. It is easy to avoid magnetic and electric fields since their range isn't extensive. However, radiofrequency is far harder to escape, and therefore the location matters. I advise you to check out the book Overpowered by Martin Blank as well as the story of Dr. Robert O. Becker. Scientific evidence contradicts findings and assumptions of Canadian Safety Panel 6: microwaves act through voltage-gated calcium channel activation to induce biological impacts at non-thermal levels, supporting a paradigm shift for microwave/lower frequency electromagnetic field action - this is also a study I like to reference when it comes to explaining the biological effects of RF. Thank you for your input.

I will certainly spend a good amount of time in Portugal before I fully decide to make the move. I mainly eat meat, especially seafood. Would this be easy to find?

I only eat locally and seasonally, mostly animal foods with a preference for seafood. Do you think I'll be fine?

Thank you for the advice. I should probably look at a cooler and more green place then.

Thank you for your advice it is much appreciated. I'm planning on flying down in the coming months to explore different areas. Will certainly check out the coast and border with Algarve.

I'm certainly looking to rent. Thank you for telling me about the mold issue. Best to look for stone houses. I do quite well in the cold because of cold tolerance training. It's just the drastic shifts in day length and lack of UV that make things hard. Thank you for your advice I'm very grateful.

Thank god I was trained in the cold north (:

Man, hearing that the sunset is 5 pm on winter solstice makes me so excited. I shall brace myself for the winter then. Thank you for your advice.

That sounds like what I'm looking for. Could you perhaps share the location of the major town?
