Hi Fabio,

Choose one portal/website.

Eg.   Idealista      https://www.idealista.pt/en/

- Choose "Buy"
- Choose "Draw your own search area on the map"
- Draw in the map the area you want to live in
- Click at the message at the bottom of the screen that shows the searching result:  "See the nnn houses"
- Sort by Relevance / Lowest Price / Most recent / ....
- Click in each house to see photos, details, ...


Within 1 hour drive to an airport: you can draw in the map +/- 90 km around Lisbon, Porto or Faro.

Thank you JohnnyPT for you answer

You can contact online real estate platforms which can help foreigners not only buy real estate in Portugal but also get some advice on obtaing residence permit etc. (e.g. Tranio platform). Portugal has the lowest cost of living in Western Europe. Expats with earnings on par with other Europeans find that food, utilities, medicine, and education are cheaper here.

For example, it would cost two people €20–30 to eat out at a restaurant in Portugal, whereas a restaurant meal for two in Spain would be at least €40.
