Hello exPats in Madeira,
We are looking to a move to Portugal. We are limiting our interest to the Lisbon area where we have had a response and to Madeira. We hope someone will be able to give us answers to the following questions.
We are interested in the following:
1. Are there many ex-Pats in Madeira?
2. Which areas of residence are the most popular?
3. What are the attractions of Madeira for ex-Pats?
4. What are the downsides?
5. How does the cost of living compare to mainland Portugal?
6. Entertainment. We like all music, but favour classical and opera, theatre, good food. Can we expect to find this in Madeira.
7. Tourists are necessary to the economy, however, they can be a blight on local residents. Are there areas in Madeira to avoid?
I suppose there are other considerations which do not come to mind, however....!
If anyone can give us some information re. any of the above we would be very grateful. Regards, Jarnot
