What do I need to know before moving to Vila Nova de Milfontes?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Vila Nova de Milfontes, they said:

"Vila Nova de Milfontes is a small coastal town in the Alentejo region of Portugal, known for its beautiful beaches and relaxed lifestyle. The official language is Portuguese, so learning some basic phrases can be helpful, although English is widely spoken in tourist areas. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other European countries, but it's still important to budget carefully. The town has a warm Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters. It's important to note that Vila Nova de Milfontes is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer, so it can get crowded during this time. The healthcare system in Portugal is of a high standard, with both public and private options available. Expats should also be aware that the pace of life in Vila Nova de Milfontes is slower than in larger cities, which can be a big adjustment. The town is also quite small, so while it has basic amenities, it may not have all the conveniences of a larger city. Public transportation is limited, so having a car can be beneficial for getting around and exploring the surrounding areas. The local cuisine is heavily seafood-based, due to its coastal location, and the region is also known for its excellent wines. Finally, it's important to understand the local customs and traditions, as Portuguese people are generally very proud of their culture. This includes a respect for siesta time in the afternoon, when many businesses close for a few hours," said one expat in Vila Nova de Milfontes.
