Property on the Silver Coast, Portugal
The Silver Coast is a treasure of beauty and gets its name from the effect of the sun on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. If you are looking for a relaxing place, where the people are genuinely friendly, the wine is superb and the weather is almost perfect – then there are few choices better than the Silver Coast of Portugal. The area is readily accessible from both Lisbon and Porto airports – with flight times of around 2 hours from the UK.
Unlike its more famous and populous cousin in the south – the Algarve . . . here you can discover pretty villages and a real Portuguese way-of-life amongst stunning coastal scenery fringed with some of the best beaches in Europe. This area has some of the most spectacular scenery in Portugal. Just inland there are sea-water lagoons, small villages in the hills, castles, forests, the beautiful pine forest Pinhal do Rei, the Berlengas Islands where there is good sea fishing and the Berlenga Grande – a National Bird Reserve and a wide choice of interesting and historical locations.
The Silver Coast remains relatively untouched by the mass tourism market and, if you are prepared to drive and walk a little way, you can guarantee a beach to yourself even in the height of the season. More robust than the Algarve coast and open to the Atlantic Ocean – the seas here are more vigorous, and offer some unrivalled surfing conditions.
Also the property on the silver coast has a lot of value left in it for the discerning investor. Since the opening of the new A8 motorway, the area, known as “the real Portugal,” is opening up, but doing it in such a way so as not to make the same mistakes that have been made in the Algarve or Spain.
