Most people who consider moving to Portugal immediately think of the
Algarve but the
Silver Coast area just North of the capital, Lisbon, is
emerging as a real alternative to the south coast both as
a great place to live and as a place to invest in a
property in Portugal. The popular lifestyle
programme "A Place in the Sun" is credited with discovering this area and has recently voted it
as the third best place in Europe to invest in property behind Romania and Poland with a 360%
capital growth over 10 years.
