Tomar, Portugal is about an hour from the coast and 80 minutes from Lisbon. "We travelled extensively around Portugal, and although we wanted to live in the far north it was too cold in winter so we travelled further south and loved Tomar with its peaceful atmosphere, good connections, good shopping for my wife, good facilities and excellent access. Rent a small property first do not buy as there are too many hurdles to cover without knowing the Portuguese system," recommended one expat in Tomar.
