Purchasing a property in Portugal has become popular but what about buying something outside of one of the big cities like Lisbon or Porto? The region of Alentejo is rural but has a lot to offer, especially for finding deals. Josh from ExpatsEverywhere talks to Afrora, an expat from Albania who lives in Denmark but loves Portugal and has decided to buy her first property in the country. She is using Made of Lisbon to help her. See what 100,00 euros in Arraiolos will buy you and what renovations will look like.
Thanks to Made of Lisbon and Afrora for allowing us to explain these kinds of possibilities to our audience. If anyone is interested in learning more about Afrora’s side of the story, we have posted a transcript of her interview with Josh on our website:
