As the country as whole is changing, new laws, less red tape, Portugal is now progressing to a modern and more forward thinking country.  Some of the highlights you will agree of living in a country like Portugal is the weather, especially the micro climate of Madeira where all year round sunshine is a great pull for the worthy investor.
