Portugal has been a favourite British holiday and second home destination for many years, with plenty to offer potential buyers. The Algarve remains the most popular area, with an array of family holiday and golfing resorts. The Silver Coast, North of Lisbon, has also become an attractive prospect in recent years, with its traditional character a key feature, and some of the unspoiled, quintessentially Portuguese fishing villages still intact. Further North is the Green Coast, home to dramatic Atlantic coastlines and some of the best value property.
