Welcome to Portugal. Californians don’t go home!
<p>Americans looking overseas to enjoy their retirement, set up a company, or enjoy a better quality of life, could possibly find no better place than Portugal. This sunny country, perched on the Iberian Peninsula, is perhaps the closest to California that you can get. Atlantic Coast, check. Sublime climate. Check. Laid-back lifestyle. Check. Plus, the welcoming locals and excellent school care, healthcare, and infrastructure are additional bonuses to those venturing abroad.</p>
<p>However, a recent article featured in the Los Angeles Times,<a href="https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2022-05-12/california-expats-portugal-relocation-lisbon" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"> <em>Welcome to Portugal, the new expat haven. Californians, please go home</em></a><em>, </em>has framed Americans choosing to move to Portugal in a somewhat misleading way, hinting that real estate prices in Lisbon are being dragged up since their arrival and creating increased prices all around, creating a somewhat unwelcoming atmosphere that may be off-putting to some of our friends from the other side of the Atlantic.</p>
