Suggest you ask this question somewhere like this: [url=http://algarve.angloinfo.com/forum/]AngloINFO Algarve: Classifieds & Discussion for the Algarve (Portugal)[/url] or this: [url=http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=89]Portugal : British Expat Discussion Forum[/url].

The answer is complicated enough here in Italy, and will probably be very different in Portugal.
