Property experts in Portugal have been advising clients to look beyond the Algarve towards Lisbon on the Silver Coast of Potugal. The Silver Coast stretches from Porto down to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal and hugs the North Atlantic coastline. It is home to beautiful beaches, amazing cliffs, quaint fishing villages, lush rolling countryside and some of the most fascinating historic sites in Portugal. Here you can experience the real Portuguese way of life. The Silver Coast is now the up-and-coming area in Portugal for property purchasers. According to Barbara Maddison, the UK sales director of Praia D'el Rey Golf & Beach Resort, “Many Brits are selling up in the Algarve and moving up to the Oeste Region, which is located just north of Lisbon”. “The cost of property in this part of Portugal is much cheaper than Algarve property so there is still room to make money in this area", Maddison explains. So, before you overlook Portugal real estate, bear in mind that Brits who buy property in Portugal are quick to assert that there's little that can compete with the country.

By portugal-algarve on Saturday, July 21 2007, 07:52
Many investors in overseas property may have concentrated on Spain and France, but Portugal lacks nothing in popularity for many who want to head for the sun. Now is the time to realize the prosperous market of Portugal investment property for sale.
That is certainly the case for those looking to retire overseas. Saga have said that those over the age of 50, Portugal is one of the four most favoured countries when it comes to buying a portugal property retirement home in the sun, still ahead of Cyprus and behind only Spain and France.
This group is a significant number of people. A Saga spokeswoman said ten per cent of its customers were looking to buy a holiday home overseas and many of these wanted to retire permanently.
She said: "Feedback from our customers shows that this is down to a number of things such as climate, cost of living and ease of access due to the range of cheap flights available."
All of these factors should be music to the ears of property investors of all kinds and of all ages, including those involved in the buy-to-let market. Portugal certainly does not miss out on any of these factors, not least in terms of its ability to provide sunshine, beaches, lifestyle and accessibility.

The country itself will be in the news a lot for many reasons in the coming months, principally because it is taking over the presidency of the EU for the next six months. Of course, most of what happens in that field will be to do with issues with little or no relation to the domestic property market.
What does matter is that, ever since it joined the European Union, or EEC as it was back in 1986, Portugal has enjoyed stability, democracy and a growing connection with the rest of Europe. Exactly the same could be said of Spain, which has enjoyed the advantage of a higher profile through its larger size and more glamorous cities.
However, the country really does have all the same sort of benefits as the other popular destinations. Weather-wise, it offers the choice of a Mediterranean climate in the south and a warm oceanic one in the north. There are outstanding beaches, particularly in the Algarve, with correspondingly well-developed tourism. The cities are historic and beautiful, with Lisbon offering an attraction to those who dislike the steel and glass skylines of many modern cities. It has wine-growing regions and green uplands, while out in the Atlantic the Azores and Madeira offer beautiful island scenery.
In short, Portugal has a range of attractions which provide plenty of good reasons for its popularity, all ones that property investors may do well to take a closer look at.

Ronaldo Stays at Luxury Algarve Resort
By portugal-algarve on Saturday, July 21 2007, 07:46
Invest in a property in algarve property at Portugal's Vale do Lobo and you too can experience luxurious holidays at luxury algarve villas like footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
After a hectic season, which culminated in him winning the Premiership title with Manchester United and picking up both the PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards, Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying a relaxing break this summer in luxury villas in algarve.
Last month he decided to take a well-deserved holiday at the luxurious Vale do Lobo Golf, Beach and Spa Resort, in Portugal's central Algarve, staying in luxury algarve villas.
Ronaldo first got to know Vale do Lobo property at a Manchester United pre-season training camp and he subsequently returned to the privacy and security of the luxury portugal property to recover in the aftermath of last year's World Cup.
He is perhaps influenced by United’s manager Sir Alex Ferguson and assistant coach Carlos Queiroz, who have described the algarve property, Vale do Lobo, as “the ideal place for a holiday”.
Even though he was taking a few days off, Ronaldo didn’t disregard training, reserving part of his days for practising on the football pitch, working out in the Fitness Centre and running on the beach. He also fitted in a game of tennis with Vale do Lobo CEO Diogo Gaspar Ferreira. Unfortunately Ronaldo lost, but was quick to arrange a rematch for his next visit.
If you fancy a slice of the celebrity lifestyle yourself Vale do Lobo has a range of properties available at the beach villas algarve resort, which is set along a 2km stretch of golden beach. Villas for sale algarve include custom-built villas, linked villas and townhouses, as well as a number of resale properties and algarve villas with pool.
Vale do Lobo is one of the longest established developments in the Algarve and the luxury algarve villas property values continue to rise there every year. Facilities at the algarve villas include golf courses, a spa, tennis courts, watersports, bowling, and yoga. The luxury portugal property resort also has its own shops and restaurants and a medical centre.
Vale do Lobo is situated on Portugal's central Algarve coastline, an unspoilt area with year-round sun.
