It is sad how low the wages is! 1000 euro cannot do much over there. Most are just living from pay cheque to pay cheque.

It would be useful next to the purchase of a car to include a typical car rental. By the day or weekly.

Very good site. However it would be helpful to have a link with Google maps so to know the locations of the cities.

I lived in Porto for sometime with my wife and we both had US retirement and SS and lived comfortably. However, after my wife died I moved back to the USA. I love Portugal very much.
