I suppose the answer depends on how remote the property is that you settle in.
Our village is a couple of Kms from Ansiao. There are no shops between us and Ansiao but we do get a number of mobile traders through the day so theoretically you could get by albeit with limited choice. Walking/cycling to the supermarket is an option but in the height of summer I'd rather you than me.
The simplest option would be a small runabout scooter - cheap to buy and economical to run. I haven't seen a donkey and trap for years in Portugal, the popular choice of the masses is the sit on tractor type vehicle which is basically an engine attached to a trailer.
