 Hi everyone, I’m considering moving to the Algarve sometime in the next year or so. I’m a single woman so am looking for a safe town to put down roots. I’m looking for a place that has plenty of life but not overcrowded with tourists. I would appreciate any suggestions or experiences. 
I will be visiting in late June and staying in Porches.
Thank you so much, Linda

Linda, do your own research. I did and concluded Lagos was the best choice i.e. about 30-40,000 people,l on the banks of the longest beach in Portugal and with many other shorter cliff-surrounded beaches, and not too many tourists. Property is expensive though. Another advantage would be it's the end of the train line (so if you fall asleep - so what!)

Thanks so much James. I’ll check Lagos out on my trip.
Take care,
