Music is a part of the Portuguese lifestyle. Lisbon in Portugal is the home of Fado, a musical genre traced to the 1820s. Traditionally Fado is characterised by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, infused with a sentiment of resignation or longing. Fado performances can be heard in bars and tiny nightclubs throughout the city. If you go to a fado performance, you will see the Portuguese Guitar. Carolina's family own a music shop in the Baixa, which is famous for its guitars and #keepingthetraditionalivel

You desire to retire in France, but it’s prohibitively expensive, where do you go? Rosemary Bointon and Ian Cole opted for the cosmopolitan, cultural, yet charming, city of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. It is the largest city in Portugal and one of the oldest cities in the world. It is home to majestic cathedrals, colorful city landscapes, mild climate and friendly neighborhoods. Rosemary and Ian purchased a home on the outskirts of Lisbon, where it is less pricey and less congested than the city center.
