The 10 Best Places in the World to Retire

CASCAIS, PORTUGAL



The seaside enclave of Cascais is only 19 miles west of Lisbon but has 10 major golf courses, a castle, miles of cobblestone streets bordered by cafes and fresh seafood vendors, a large English-speaking expat community, and housing for a fraction of what it would cost in the capital city. Portugal is already one of the most affordable countries in Europe, and AARP has this to say: "Portugal prides itself on having a quieter, more civilized pace of life than its neighbor, Spain. The Portuguese are reserved but friendly; even their bullfights are polite (they spare the bull).” With a more mild climate than the Algarve’s Mediterranean coast and within easy weekending range of Portugal’s central Alentejo wine country, Cascais is best for those who desire a view of the ocean and plenty of good things to eat and drink.
