Portimão - Monchique
Hello everyone, my name is Paloma, and together with my husband Mauro, I have been living in Portimão for two years. I am Spanish, and Mauro is Italian. We have lived in several countries, both together and before we met: Spain, the United Kingdom, Brazil, South Africa, India, and more recently, Italy, before retiring and moving to the Algarve.
I am a very outgoing and cheerful person, and I will be very happy to organise some activities where we can all meet and make new friends. You will find below my latest newsletter.
