Questions about accessible places to live in Portugal

[lowenteresa@gmail.com]

My husband and I are looking for a place to call home for the next 5-10 years, from which we can explore Europe at our own pace. My husband has used a wheelchair most of his life, so we are used to figuring out things when traveling. We are interested in hearing from International Living folk to get tips on what locations in Portugal might be most accessible for us as well as best for the use of public transport, trains, and access to medical care. We also enjoy warmer weather, sailing ports, and lots of walking (rolling) along promenades for exercise and well-being. Hilly places, cliffs, and cobble stones make life harder. Does Portugal have online ways or services to help find and assess accessible condos and apartments and/or retirement communities? Thoughts?

My husband is having cognitive issues and already had peripheral artery disease. These resources will be most helpful! Thanks!

Thank you for your post. I am new to IL and ready to retire in about 1.5 years, sooner if I can. Portugtal is very popular, but like you I would like to live outside a city someplace with community and Expats. Also want to experience the culture. Been to Spain, not really for me, but Greece, Portugal, Italy all sound great. Not sure how to begin? Thanks,
JoAnn
