It's time to go out and explore fun activities that do not only include beach or golf. For those of you who are looking for something different, we are called “The Expat Centre Portugal” and our aim is to help international people who live and may also work in the Algarve, to build connections and friendships through social meet ups and events.
Our main objective is to help both new comers and long-term residents feel more "at home" in the Algarve, with an increased sense of belonging.
Our website will show a variety of great events; cultural, social and artistic; that you might not be aware of. We want to motivate people to participate in these events, so that they expand their network, meet interesting people and become part of a heartfelt community.
