Last weekend I took my bike to my mechanic, entering an empty street out of a roundabout I jokingly thought to myself that our hand drive surely feels right to me, and suddenly I was unsure of which lane to take!

We were all set to go on holiday to Portugal (2002),  near Albufeira, but the apartment owner passed away just a month before we were due to go there, and his wife cancelled all booking for the apartment.

A double edged sword! Great for those expat brits that are legitimately resident in Portugal,  but could be seen as a great opportunity for those booted out of Spain to come over the border and pollute Portugal now! 🤣🤣🤣

No.....they came to that arrangement with Spain a few months ago.

And if they couldn't get residency in Spain then they won't in Portugal either.

Apparently they even do criminal record checks as well now!

I thought that the monthly income requirements for Portugal are lower than those in Spain?
