Retire in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal - EP 210

Retire in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal! EP 210

Bill and Jola Mansfield lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, for over 30 years before deciding to move to Europe to be closer to their son in Helsinki, Finland and Jola’s mother in Poland. While many places across Europe captured their interest, it was Portugal’s island of Madeira — with its lush mountains, vibrant flowers, and scenic hiking trails — that truly stole their hearts. It’s no wonder Madeira is often called the “Hawaii of Europe.” The couple eventually settled in the city of Funchal, a charming old European town nestled in a tropical-like paradise, and have no regrets.

Discover more about Bill and Jola’s European adventure in Episode 210 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.
