Buying Property on the Silver Coast (Costa da Prata)
Where to buy property on the Silver Coast (Costa da Prata)
The Silver Coast has been a favourite holiday destination for the citizens of Lisbon for many years, and more recently property buyers from overseas have discovered this beautiful stretch of waterfront with improved access thanks to the A8 motorway.
There are fishing harbours and long expanses of sandy beach along its picturesque shores, though the region’s golf courses and water sports facilities are an equally alluring prospect for the many British and Irish buying property for sale on the Silver Coast (Costa da Prata). Windsurfing, sailing and surfing are all popular along this Atlantic coast, and unsurprisingly the seafood is a great culinary speciality.
The fortified town of Obidos is a focal point of property development along this coast, with many schemes built around its lovely lagoon. To the south is Torres Vedras, where the existing military airfield is to be transformed into the capital’s primary airport. Head north for resorts such as Sao Martinho do Porto, Nazare and Figueira da Foz. To get more property on the Silver Coast (Costa da Prata) for your money, search inland where habitable properties and restoration projects are cheaper than their coastal equivalents.
Inland from Figueira da Foz lies Coimbra, Portugal’s third city and home to one of Europe’s oldest universities, an historic base for exploring the north of the coast. Aveiro is a popular destination here, as charming small town on a lagoon with kilometres of canals giving rise to its nickname, the “Venice of Portugal”.
