The Buyer´s Guide to Portugal

 

Its richness from the age of discoveries, great climate and excellent food, make Portugal a great lifestyle choice!

 

Good things come in small packages and, at only 560km by 220km, Portugal is a small country with a lot to offer. Portugal is situated on the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Spain, and its 800km of coastline all face the Atlantic.

Winters are particularly mild on the coast, and summers are hot but rarely unpleasant. The Atlantic air masses keep Portugal green and beautiful. But best of all, the country is largely unspoilt and the food and drink is fabulous.

 

The beaches along much of this coastline are sandy and very popular, with surfers from all over the globe coming to take advantage of the huge waves.

Whether you are planning a holiday in Portugal or looking to buy property there, you will have lots to keep you occupied during your stay. Portugal was a hugely wealthy country about five hundred years ago when its maritime discoveries brought riches to the Iberian Peninsula. However, the Age of Discoveries ended along with the sixteenth century and Portugal slowly became a remote place compared to much of Europe.

There are plenty of excellent golf courses in Portugal, especially in the Algarve where you can often combine sea views, sunshine and a round of golf quite happily.

Another reason for moving to Portugal is that it seems a lot cheaper than places in Northern Europe. Flights to Faro, are quite inexpensive and this, combined with the 3000 hours of sunshine that some regions get every year, really makes Portugal the ideal place to live.
