The ‘Silver Coast’ refers to an area of North West Portugal, stretching from north of Lisbon up to Porto. The entire Atlantic coast of Portugal has beautiful beaches, and here on the Silver Coast the sparsely populated beaches merge with quaint fishing towns and villages. In the high season of July and August, when temperatures soar, the beaches are filled with holidaymakers basking in the sun. At other times of the year one can walk for miles along the sand, with only the sound of the waves for company, and not see another soul. The sea here is chilly but many of the sun baked beaches are sheltered by wild and rugged cliffs. Gatehouse International in Portugal specialise in offering investment property The Silver Coast

Throughout this region you will find charming traditional villages and towns, castles, walled cities, and ancient architecture. Inland, the lush green fertile countryside produces a variety of crops including grapes for local wines, olives, citrus fruits, carob, and an abundance of cork.

For a start, the cost of living in this stunningly beautiful region is less than most popular Mediterranean holiday areas. Also, this North West zone is growing to suit the needs of its residents. It is following in the footsteps of the Algarve and is now home to several top golf courses; and the recent arrival of the Lisbon motorway has opened up this area to the culture and bright lights of the capital city.

This relatively unheard of region is now developing a reputation as being a beautiful quaint area blessed with wide stretches of sand, sparkling sea, and rolling green countryside.
