Life stories of making a home in the Algarve

This anthology gathers accounts from people who chose to relocate to Portugal’s Algarve and build a new life there. Its scope reaches back to families who settled in the region in the early 1970s, before tourism had become part of its story, and also includes more recent moves prompted by dreams of starting afresh. The collection offers a personal, human-scale view of migration and of the different paths that lead people to make a place their home. A foreword by the British Ambassador to Portugal is also included.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in personal stories of moving abroad and making a home in a new country.
  • Those curious about the Algarve’s changing place in the lives of its residents.
  • Travel readers who prefer people’s experiences to a destination guide.
