Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are Dutch living in the Algarve, Retired husband, working wife and working son. We live 25 mins drive from beaches, 3 mins drive from Loulé, a vibrant little town in the heart of the Algarve. We have chickens, a dog and a cat. I will be happy to share my knowledge of the Algarve and Loulé, and show you nice places. You can pick up Dutch habits and sayings too. Loulé is a hidden gem. Down our hill is the municipal park, which is perfect to chill, have a coffee or a beer, watch a rugby match, or enjoy the skatepark with the locals aged 0 till 100. In the center (2,5 kms from our home) is the mercado municipal and lots of cafe's, pastelaria's and restaurants.
