Back Portugal’s most familiar destination is the east to west strip at the southernmost point on the country - the ever popular Algarve. A prime tourist destination since the mid 1960’s, the long sandy beaches and sunny climate, cooled pleasantly in the summer with gentle Atlantic sea breezes, the Algarve has wide appeal for holiday makers and as a location for second homes for families, couples, individuals, sun worshippers, sports enthusiasts and golfers. The mild autumns and springs ensure great out of season breaks, so holiday homes have long rental periods and have consistently been good investments for their owners. In recent years the west coast of Portugal, and it’s inland regions, have started to receive acclaim, and now the areas known as the Blue or Lisbon Coast, the Silver Coast and the Alentejo are also becoming additions to the list of Portuguese destinations. New road systems and spending on infrastructure, including a new airport at Lisbon and the A8 motorway from the city to the coast, have opened up accessibility and will ensure these regions continue to grow. These regions are largely undiscovered and property developments, although available, are still quite new with good opportunities to enter the market at an early stage. Unlike it’s Spanish neighbour, Portugal definitely hasn’t hit the headlines with calamitous drops in property values. Overall a more cautious approach - and protective view of their country’s assets by the banks, the authorities and developers - have resulted in a steadier ship during the turbulent times of the last couple of years. Portugal – a great destination and a choice of different landscapes all with their own characters.
