A dream.....

I have a dream to just sell up and move to the Eastern Algarve, buy a small 1-2 bedroom apartment (new) in Olhau/Tavira. Think that i could have a comfortable existence earning around 10-12k euros pa. But without starting my own business or working 90 hours per week how could I fund this dream? Are there many jobs in Estate Agencies/Offices etc foe English speaking? What do they pay? Where do you find them, through Agencies?
It pays to challenge

    I think the best way to find work in the Algarve is through contacts, jobs would rarely be advertised on the internet.

    How about a fact finding trip out there (any excuse!), and popping into prospective employers to make your face known? Leave your cv and you never know ... x
    Gone ... or have I?
