Best Places In The World To Retire

The rain in Puerto Vallarta comes in in July and ends in late October. During the rainy season, it rains for three to four hours every day, usually in the afternoon.

 

Having rain every day doesn’t really change my lifestyle, although it does get hotter and more humid in the rainy season, so you stay home because of that and not because of the rain.

Belize has a lot of Caribbean influence, even though we are right in the middle of Central America. We have a lot of fast music of Caribbean influence. We also have a lot of people who listen to Spanish music and we have everything in between. We have country music and western influenced music, such as the music of Beyonce and Shakira, too. There are a lot of different music genres in Belize.

We have a traditional type of music in Belize from the Garifuna, called the "Punta Rock." The Garifuna bring out drums and other instruments and dancing is one way for them to socialize. (Garifuna drummers, pictured.)

 

In Belize, there are so many different types of dancing that go with each song and for each occasion. There is a traditional dance for a funeral ceremony and there is a traditional dance for a wedding ceremony.

The homes in Nicaragua do not have centralized air-conditioning and heaters, but there are also big homes here that are like the ones in the US. 

 

What you will not find here in Nicaragua are buildings. There are a few buildings. Nicaragua is very similar to Miami because if you see Miami, most of the homes there only have one floor and you will not see a lot of buildings. It is the same here in Nicaragua.

The golf in and around Algarve is a hole in one! It’s not per chance that the Algarve has been voted the best European Golf Destination several times by the World Travel Association. If my memory serves me right, I think the Algarve has been voted The World’s Best Golf Destination on more than one occasion.

The golf in and around Algarve is a hole in one! It’s not per chance that the Algarve has been voted the best European Golf Destination several times by the World Travel Association. If my memory serves me right, I think the Algarve has been voted The World’s Best Golf Destination on more than one occasion.

 

Algarve has over forty golf courses and the quality of the golf courses is superb. Several of the golf courses in the Algarve are amongst the Top 100 in the world. The quality of the greens and the fairways is fantastic.

 

There are different levels of difficulty across the golf courses in Algarve from the westernmost Parque da Floresta golf course, which is probably one of the most difficult golf courses in the Algarve, to the golf courses on the Spanish border like Castro Marim, which is one of the easier golf courses to play. 

 

There are certain golfing destinations in the Algarve that have reputations in their own right such as Vilamoura, which has five golf courses within that region or town alone and six if you consider Vila Sol.

 

The Algarve is a superb golfing destination. Our company, Algarve Senior Living, supports golfing associations, in particular for the senior market and people who sign up for these golfing associations are also able to play golf on a weekly basis at a discounted rate. For people who move here and have golf as a passion, there are many ways to play a huge range of courses and do so reasonably inexpensively. Having played in the US, I can tell that for a similar type of course, with the similar degree of difficulty, and the same quality of course, costs around 1/3 the price in the Algarve compared to the US.
