Living in Portugal – Relaxing in Lisbon

Living in Portugal is great, in particular, Lisbon is an interesting city where you can relax, either working or just enjoying your retirement.

Lisbon is one of the Portuguese paradises. You can make your living, either working or retiring in Portugal, in this nice city.

Lisbon has a temperate climate. The temperature ranges between 12.8 and 20.8 degrees Celsius and has 2781 hours of sunshine (annual average).

“Ribeira das Naus”, located in the oldest part of Lisbon, in front of Tejo River, is a privileged place of enjoyment where you can contact with the river, walking, running, cycling or just relaxing.

Ribeira das Naus, or simply Ribeira, is a designation that, in the late fifteenth century, the Portuguese started to use to refer to shipbuilding. The term derives, from riverside areas, where the shipyards were deployed.

The area called “Ribeira das Naus” in Lisbon comes with the decision taken in 1498 by King Manuel the 1 st, to build a new Palace, close to the shipyards in Lisbon.

The Palace of Ribeira, as it will be known, would occupy the area where stood the old shipyards, forcing the displacement of the yard to the adjacent area, to the west of the Palace.

This arrangement was particularly important for the development of ship building and for the performance of “the discoveries”. For centuries, Ribeira das Naus, was the most important Portuguese shipyard.

We can walk in the garden, see the Dry Dock where the Discovery Ships were build and repaired, rediscover the old Pier of Caldeirinha and the structures of the Royal Palace Court. The existing beach, before the earthquake, can now be achieved with a staircase to the water.

Enjoy life and take advantage of the climate and the environment.

7 reasons to retire in Portugal by John Malkovich

In a recent interview, John Malkovich gave his opinion about Portugal, the city of Lisbon and how fine is to live in Portugal, either working or retiring.

John Gavin Malkovich born in the United States in 1953, is an actor, producer, director and fashion designer.

In his long carreer he appeared in more than 70 pictures.

For his roles in Places in the Heart and In the Line of Fire, he received the Academy Award nominations.

1. John knows Lisbon for more than 15 years. He has been working and visiting Lisbon for several times.

2. His first impression, as far as he could remember, was the people – friendly, smiling and terrific in his own words. He loves Lisbon, in fact.

3. Malkovich appreciates location and geography, architecture and its variety. Great people everywere and good food.

4. He also loves fado, the old traditional music. Fado has its root on words like “destiny” and “fate” and it can be traced to the 19 th century or even earlier.

5. Questioned if Lisbon is still the same, in his thought he believes that should not be the same, as Lisbon and Portugal received now much more people visiting these places, but still maintains its unique characteristics and thus he still prefers to come here in holidays.

6. It is also a good place to live. Not very far from the place he lives nowadays. He was considering to buy a house close to Lisbon, but was already sold when it comes closed to the decision.

7. Malkovich in what concerns recommendations to visit in Lisbon, mentions things like, just walking around, enjoying the beauties of nature or historical and cultural activities., museums, restaurants… There are lots of things to do in Lisbon
