Hello Readers,

Welcome back to Hey Portugal. HeyPortugal

We are loading up articles each week and hope you find something here interesting.

All reviewed articles will be posted on our Facebook Page and Twitter Feed so you can like or foloow us there and keep up to date with the changes. 

I also intend to re-start the eNewsletter at some point. One thing that is already live is our ever-popular Calendar, with all Portugal Holidays and lots of events.

I have added a section on Brexit,  in the News Menu. I will post the latest official news bulletins from the British Embassy, Portugal Government and anything else I think is particularly relevant.

Anyone who understands websites will know that this is a lot of work,  I assure you the result will be worth it, I plan to make HeyPortugal.com the most comprehensive site of information for Expats in Central Portugal.
