It sounds like a “no brainer”: buy a desirable property in Portugal, advertise it for tourist rental, then sit back and count the euros. It is possible, but nothing in life is quite that easy.
Rising prices, from a low base, and cheaper mortgage costs, mean that there has never been a better time to buy a home in the popular parts of Portugal. There is one bargain celebrity property on sale too, if you fancy “going where the sun shines brightly, going where the sea is blue…”
The weather in Portugal this weekend is set to be 24°C and sunny – perfect barbecue weather! The arrival of spring means people in Portugal are already lucky enough to be able to eat al fresco, so here a few springtime favourites to chuck on the barbecue – if you choose to live in Portugal, that is.
