You will not stay alone. The Porto Long-Term 1+ Year Expats community is already waiting.

A year or more changes the relationship — the group holds the people who know which immigration office actually answers the phone, which tasca serves a francesinha worth the coma, and which landlords to avoid entirely. Newer arrivals get folded in fast; the scams get named just as fast.
