Many of the trends that currently dominate the property sector are felt on a global scale. The Portuguese property market is certainly exhibiting symptoms that will seem familiar to people in the UK and even as far afield as the US and China.
If you’re thinking about moving to Portugal, or investing in a holiday home there, you have an exciting journey ahead, and plenty of fun decisions to make. From Northern Portugal to the Algarve to the Azores Islands, we look at areas in Portugal, so that you can decide where you would most like to own a home.
Most of the action on the Algarve happens on the coast, where pretty beaches and friendly tourist resorts are the main draw. Head upcountry though and you’ll find some charming old towns and villages, where the slower lifestyle is more Portuguese and better suited to year-round living. We’ve picked five of our favourite inland communities and a property you could buy in each!
