LIVING LOCAL - CASCAIS - LISBON - SINTRA
More than a place to live - a Community.
A community for expats and residents, both newcomers and veterans, and independent businesses united by the same love of the place where they live. Events, co-working, coffee in Portuguese and much more.
Cascais
WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY
Born with
a purpose.
From the first moment Living Local was conceived, it was born with the purpose of creating a community for expats and residents - and it was precisely from this idea that the name came about Living Local.
It's not a club or a formal group. It's an open space to share experiences, support local commerce and enjoy everything that makes this region so special.
By joining, you gain more than a new circle of contacts - you gain experiences, friendships and a sense of belonging.
