WHY THE ALGARVE AND PORTUGAL


Portugal is our longest serving ally and there is no doubt that this is reflected in the warmth of welcome given by the Portuguese to those deciding to make a home and invest in the beautiful country.

The Algarve has now become the favourite area of investment for the British and Irish, over 50,000 homes being owned by Northern Europeans.
At the most Southern part of the country, the Algarve was the last region to be retaken from the Moors in the 13th Century. Evidence of this is apparent in the unique architecture, terraces, chimneys and whitewashed houses. Now the Algarve is full of contrasts, quaint villages still living comfortably in the past sit comfortably alongside magnificent championship golf course and luxury developments.
The hills of Espinhacao de Cao shelter the coast from strong winds helping to create the perfect climate delivering over 3000 hours of sunshine a year from a pleasant 30 degrees in August to a comfortable 16 degrees in the winter, perfect for all year golf!

The coastline benefi ts from long stretches of golden sandy beaches punctuated with rugged cliffs and beautiful grottos.
Apart from the wealth of water sports facilities there are luxury marinas, ports and harbours all within easy reach of coastal residents. The Algarve is famous for its golf, it probably has more famous championship courses in the region than anywhere else in the world!
