Portugal Property & Living

For many people Portugal is all about golf! The nation has successfully become the number one golf holiday destination in Europe after all, and the Algarve region of Portugal is home to the majority of the country's golf courses. The Algarve is also the number one relocation and holiday destination for Britons focused on Portugal - but there is actually far more to this beautiful country than just golf and the Algarve coastline.

Facing the Atlantic rather than the Mediterranean Sea, Portugal achieves a best of both worlds situation by being blessed with a Mediterranean style climate whilst having fabulous and dramatic coastline thanks to the power of the Atlantic Ocean and the effects the sea has had on the cliffs and beaches of the nation.

The culture, language, cuisine and history of Portugal all add to fascinating mix and make Portugal a really interesting and attractive country for those in search of a new life abroad. From the Algarve in the south, up along the Silver Coast, heading inland and then up towards the nation's main cities of Lisbon and Porto you will find such amazing geography and natural scenery and no doubt, you'll find a part of the nation that appeals personally to you, your lifestyle choices and your budget as well.

Lisbon and Porto for example offer employment and education opportunities, both are sophisticated and fascinating cities as well. Alternatively if you want rural living and affordable property prices in Portugal head inland. If the Algarve appeals but is too pricey then move up the coast to the Silver Coast and find your dream Portuguese seaside home there. Wherever you want to live or buy a home abroad in Portugal allow us at Shelter Offshore to assist and guide you.
