Loved the video guys.. Portugal my favourite place.. Ill be looking forward to seeing loads more of the algarve over the next few weeks 👍👌
Love Portugal great choice for a lockdown bolt hole 👍🏻
Nice one Dave, yeah could think of worse places to be in lockdown I guess 😁 thanks for watching
If you have to be stuck somewhere, Portugal is definitely high on the list. :)
Yes 💯 for sure....
We live in Canada and are dying to travel back to Portugal and so we are living it through you guys thanks, have you been to Madeira island ? it’s our very favourite place in the world , it’s won best island in Europe a six years in a row and the best islands in the world scoring to world travel awards something between Hawai and Bali and Portugal and the food is to die for!!!! Thank you again for your stunning videos🥰
Ah thank you so much for watching and thanks for your kind words ❤️ we haven’t been to Madeira just yet but it’s definitely on the list, it looks stunning, thanks for the recommendation 🙏🇵🇹
Brilliant channel have to say videos are great really enjoying it
Thanks so much, glad you like the video, really appreciate it 👍
One of the best countries to live in! Congrats guys!
Thank you so much, and yes we agree! We love it here ❤️🇵🇹
Glad to see you having such a great time...love from the Campions at the Irish Rover Praia da Rocha..😁
Hi Martin, thanks for watching, really enjoying our time here, must check back with you for a drink now that pubs are opened, looking forward to it..well needed 😁🇮🇪
You have to try the bacalhau the cod with olive oil and stewed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Cod pastries are delicious with a strong dark espresso. Pasteis de nata or custard pastries are fantastic. The way they cook the fish is magnificent. beauracracy is definitely a sad reality of Portugal but if you have the patience it can be overcome. the beaches are amazing. all the best
Wow! Thanks for all the recommendations we appreciate it 🙏 we will definitely have to try some of them out 😋 thanks again ❤️🇵🇹
Hoping to move to Portimao next year from South Africa. Love the video, so nice to see what's going on there. Thanks for the awesome informative videos.
Hi there, thanks for watching, we appreciate it 👍 good luck with the move, it’s a beautiful place here, and thankfully things are opening up again ❤️🇵🇹
How were you able to get into Portugal? I am looking forward to your videos from the Algarve, I love Portugal. Thanks
At the time of our arrival we were able to travel with so restrictions or PCR tests required. I believe this totally different now, since we have been in Portugal we have been in lockdown however it’s starting to lift, which is great. Thanks again for watching we really appreciate it ❤️🙏
Love the video guys 👍🏻xx
Thanks April for watching ❤️🙏 really glad you liked the video, first of many to come from Portugal 🇵🇹
I am exploring Portugal thanks to you. Nice apartment. 💜
Loved the video guys 😍😍
Thanks Megan, really glad you liked the video, we have many more coming from Portugal, hopefully you’ll like them too ❤️🙏
Hi Guys, I have been following you on twitter great reviews & pictures
Thanks so much for watching. I’ve seen your page on Twitter 👍 thanks for following, we really appreciate it ❤️
Sounds like you have all of the bases covered with bikes and a car! We only rented bikes once to get to Mesi Bridge and still have not rented a car. We had to go through a lockdown in Lake Ohrid which as you know is another lovely place. We weren't too upset about being locked down there with how pretty the Lake is. Another place with positive environment and they didn't have tape on the benches. That stinks! They also had a great infrastructure for trade-away food. That Iris pub being closed was very sad! We're jealous of your beach walk! We have not had enough of that.
Hey guys, thanks for watching, it sucks that ohrid went into lockdown but as you say it’s nice to be in that kinda environment. 2021 is a lot more unpredictable than 2020 we feel, so it’s really luck of the draw with places right now, we just hope the lockdowns are coming to an end around the world, Portugal has since lifted restrictions which is awesome news!! Hope you enjoyed Ohrid, will catch up with your latest tonight 😁
@@GoTimeTravels that's great that Portugal lifted its restrictions! This is a wild life we all have chosen but we wouldn't have it any other way. Keep up the great work!
please keep these fun and cool video coming I subscribed I also love portugal so this makes me happy 😊 it looks like I found my new youtuber in portugal 😍🔥🔥🔥
where are you guys from ? you have kinda a british accent but then a german accent😊
Ah thank you, we appreciate you watching our videos and so glad that you enjoy them, we have plenty more videos to come from Portugal so hopefully you’ll enjoy them too 🤗
We are both from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
@@GoTimeTravels cool 😊
Look forward to your next video. If you could show a map first of exactly where you are filming that would be helpful. Thinking of moving very soon to the Algarve.
History in the making of this video....👍.....fabulous place💕...
Oh Portugal, the love of my life!
Great new upload again.👍👌You must have a great week and hopefully, get time for a mother great video 😎LIKE LIKE 👍
Thank you so much, hope you have a great week also, ❤️🙏 thanks for watching
Awesome!
Thanks so much ❤️
Great video! was planning to move there this year but opting for Florida now. I’m very disappointed in the Portuguese government’s overreaction and harsh, baseless lockdown measures including curfews. I thought the US was bad in the worst of our states but banning public benches is incredibly cruel. I can imagine how horribly this has impacted the elderly there who can’t even sit for a minute while walking to the shops for necessities. I’ve seen some interviews of Portuguese children talking about the abusive, draconian measures they’re ensuring in their schools. Keep in mind Portugal’s reputation for being one of the most child-friendly countries in the world. Considering the virus is no threat to children, this is completely unacceptable treatment - child abuse, in fact. I’m equally disappointed in the Portuguese people who haven’t pushed back against this totalitarian blueprint being laid out. How quickly they seem to have forgotten what life under dictatorship was like. I had high hopes in the humanity, intelligence and sensibility of the Portuguese to stand up against tyranny for themselves and as a beacon of light for the whole world. It’s not too late but I fear it soon will be, especially if social credit digital IDs (aka vaccine passports) are not made illegal as some states in the US are starting to do. Say goodbye to your privacy and personal freedoms FOREVER if digital IDs are allowed to happen. These vaccines do not stop infection or transmission which means only the most immune compromised should even consider getting them. At best, the vaccine reduces symptoms for the person who is vaccinated. Your vaccine does NOTHING to help other people!!! This is extremely important to remember when fear propaganda tells you we should vaccinate for the public’s benefit and to blame the unvaccinated. That’s a massive lie just as masks and distancing are lies. There’s no need for any of this theater and we now have all of last year’s data to prove it and demand a complete, full return to normal. Demand it! Don’t wait for it. Our power zealous governments force us to demand it.
Yes you're totally right! It's so sad to see a lot of people follow the criminal governments all over the world because they always did that and only listen to their propaganda.
Even in the Netherlands there are a lot of GPs warning people but all they say is we are conspiracy thinkers...Really frustrating!
They are not vaccines they are a synthetic drug combining messenger rna with nano technology as well as using some other dangerous ingredients.When a leading member of the eugenics movement who has said on record that the world is overpopulated and needs to be reduced is pushing an untested ,unregulated injection then alarm bells should be ringing
I have seen it like that , mid winter bloody freezing
i know right, its not what you think when you think of Portugal, thankfully right now things are very very different 😎😎
Nice little set up and view you’ve got! The beach, with it’s golden sand, looks like heaven on earth! 😍👌 Hey, that yacht for sale with a Mexican flag could be a sign of where you could travel to next 😃!!
Hey Finn, thanks for watching, it’s so beautiful here, the beaches are really really nice....oh and that yacht was definitely a sign, I said that to Samantha (off camera) 😁😁
Very good video, just subbed. Have been to Praia da Rocha twice and loved going to the Irish Rover 😢🇮🇪 i have a question. Do ye work out there? Or are ye living off of yere savings?
Hi John thanks so much for watching and subscribing to our channel, we appreciate the support. We are not working here in Portugal, we decided to travel full time after saving for over a year.
@@GoTimeTravels no worries. Thanks for heads up. Also, I’m not sure if you know or anything. But I was really curious. Has the Portuguese government given any form of grant/subsidy scheme to workers and business over there cos of COVID? Keep up the great work
The appartement is spacious and there is a pool. I like the sight of the colored houses as you drive. Nice location and the beaches aren’t too far. I heard the lockdown has ended is it not the case in Algarve ? Thanks for sharing.
Hi there, thanks for watching our video, the lockdowns in algarve are now regional, many regions have been out of lockdown for 3 weeks, however in portimao we had an extended lockdown due to cases. Thanks 3 days ago the lockdown has now lifted in portimao. Our video was filmed last week. 👍
@@GoTimeTravels oh right ! Well great place to be on lockdown.
@@Nadelina_kb exactly ❤️🤗
Hi, I loved your video 💙
I'm thinking of going to the Algarve too, and seeing that apartament that you loved, I'm thinking about booking it too.
Can you please give me the contact or the airbnb link?
Thank you so much!
And keep up the good work! 🏝️🎥🙂
hi there, is it possible you can message us on instagram and i can give you the information, thanks
Back in lovely Portugal there nine months last year couldn’t get home what a shame ,
Hopefully you can get back soon 🤞❤️
Welcome to Portugal!
Thank you so much ❤️🇵🇹🙏
Pretty good deal? Amazing deal.
Yeah, we were pretty happy with it 😁
So weird seeing Portugal that empty 😢
Yeah it’s really weird, thankfully things have changed in the last few days...
Loved video. Difficult to hear her voice at times when she has her head turned. How far in advance did you book your apartment? How did you find your apartment?
Very interesting to see Portugal in Lockdown, so weird beaches are blocked off. Thank goodness they didn't do that in Wexford, it's all that kept me sane ha!
Thanks for watching Justine, yes mad times here in Portugal around the world, yes the beaches was a hard pill to swallow, it was unclear what the situation was as there was barriers up but yet people still walked the beach. It was sort of a half rule 🤣🤣
@@GoTimeTravels like Italian traffic lights, just a suggestion 🤣🤣🤣
@@ElectricZooie 😂😂
Hi guys, I'm going through all of your videos, fantastic! I'm looking for a real answer and all i can find are positives... how rough is Portimao? Are there areas that are more ghetto-y? I see you've been back to Portimao twice instead of staying in another area, so it seems you like it best? Thanks for any info!
Hi there, thanks so much for watching our Portugal Series, we really appreciate it ❤️ An honest answer is we found no part of Portimao that "rough" Portugal is extremely safe and we spend many nights walking along the beach at midnight with zero hassle at all. There is obviously parts of the Algarve that our quite Party orientated but even then they are very safe, if you take Albufeira for example, thats a big party town and it can be a bit "mad" but its still safe. We pick Portimao because its quite central to the Algarve, we also love Alvor which is really close to Portimao and we are also close to Lagos which is also a lovely town. We have spent so much time in Portugal and we can honestly say we never once felt afraid or worried. We are from Dublin and we would consider Dublin difficult to walk around at night, however Portugal and Algarve in general we felt safe all the time. Hope that helps.
Thanks so much! It seems like a great spot. Glad to hear that's the case in reality, too. Appreciate your response!
@@cocoj4785 no problem at all, glad it helps 👍 hope you have a great time in Portugal 🇵🇹
Hey, Great Video!!
I have a couple questions.
When did you guys move out there ?
And did you have to do covid test before being allowed to travel out. there ?
And lastly, u staying there on a work visa ?
We arrived early this year, at the time a test was not required, however I believe it is needed now. As a European you can stay in Portugal for 90 days. If you go over you need to apply for an extended visa, but I think the 90days visa has been extended due to lockdown.
@@GoTimeTravels Thank you so much for the reply!
Il be heading there in 2 weeks time. What’s the story with the restaurants and bars are they opening back up soon? Seen there doing it in phases but no exact dates
In the algarve Everything is open now, they’ve had regional lockdowns the past few weeks but for now each region has progressed to opening up, they asses it regularly so things could change, but for now, and the imitate future, things are back to normal. Hopefully it stays that way...
@@GoTimeTravels ah sound! Was a bit worried when I seen how dead it was looking. Thanks!
you are always the best guys❤🇦🇱🇮🇪❤🙏🙏
Ah thanks so much ❤️🙏 we really appreciate you watching
Portugal is not in lockdown right now...
Yes, at the time of video portimao was. Thankfully not anymore 👍
Did you rent the apartment via some local real estate agency or just through internet? (which site please)? Thank you.
We used Airnbnb
@@GoTimeTravels thanks, and wow, you managed to pay only 500 EUR/month per that apartment via Airnbnb? Was that a multi-month rental period (and thus cheaper) or just one month...? That apartmant had to be around at least 45 square meter living space right?
@@romannavratilid the price was based on time of year and length of rental. As the summer months approach the price will increase. We moved here in January.
I live in the Algarve 2 hit me up get some drinks. I’m in Faro.
Who got you the apartment? Some Dutch guy right?
you look a bit like Rita Ora
We live in Canada and are dying to travel back to Portugal and so we are living it through you guys thanks, have you been to Madeira island ? it’s our very favourite place in the world , it’s won best island in Europe a six years in a row and the best islands in the world scoring to world travel awards something between Hawai and Bali and Portugal and the food is to die for!!!! Thank you again for your stunning videos🥰
