Depois de tirar...

... o avental de dona de casa e antes de vestir a bata de trabalho… decidi dar uma volta pela net e encontrei num site americano os 10 Top – Best sites to retire abroad, entre eles, Cascais. Mas pela ordem – Buenos Aires, Corozal (Belize), Central Valley (Costa Rica), Languedoc-Roussillon (France), Le Marche (Italy), Puerto Vallarta (Mexico), Granada (Nicaragua), village of Boquete (Panama), Cascais e no último lugar Costa del Sol – ganhamos!

E o conto é:
With its castles, wines, ancient ruins, and cobblestoned streets that make you feel, in the words of expat writer Holly Raible Blades, "like you’ve fallen through a crack in time," one wonders why Portugal has long been overlooked by American retirees. That’s changing. A plenitude of golf, beaches, resorts, and trendy café life makes Portugal one of Europe's most pleasant surprises. Costs are lower than in other parts of Western Europe, and Portugal prides itself on having a quieter, more civilized pace of life than its neighbor, Spain. The Portuguese are reserved but friendly; even their bullfights are polite (they spare the bull).
Lisbon is a grande old dame of a city, where traditional mournful fados are still sung in candlelit taverns; but most expats gravitate to the postcard-pretty resort towns of Estoril and Cascais on the Atlantic coast, 15 miles west of the capital.
Health Care - Good. Nearby hospitals include the well-regarded British Hospital in Lisbon.

Perfeito! Estamos no clube dos escolhidos…
