Why Albufeira Why the Algarve Portugal is our longest serving ally and there is no doubt that this is reflected in the warmth of welcome given by the Portuguese to those deciding to make a home and invest in this beautiful country. The Algarve has now become the favourite area of investment for the British and Irish, with over 50,000 homes being owned by Northern Europeans. At the most Southern part of the country, the Algarve was the last region to be retaken from the Moors in the 13th Century. Evidence of this is illustrated in the unique architecture, terraces, chimneys and whitewashed houses. Now the Algarve is full of contrasts, quaint villages living comfortably in the past sit comfortably alongside magnificent championship golf course and luxury developments. The hills of Espinhacao de Cao shelter the coast from strong winds helping to create the perfect climate delivering over 3000 hours of sunshine a year from a pleasant 30 degrees in August to a comfortable 16 degrees in the winter, perfect for all year golf! The coastline benefits from long stretches of golden sandy beaches punctuated with rugged cliffs and beautiful grottos. Apart from the wealth of water sports facilities there are luxury marinas, ports and harbours all within easy reach of coastal residents. The Algarve is famous for its golf, it probably has more famous championship courses in the region than anywhere else in the world! Owning a property in the Algarve has become an excellent proposition,and has been voted within the top three property investment areas in Europe in the past two years by the popular Place in the Sun TV programme of Channel 4. Only two and a half hours away from the UK and Ireland served by numerous airlines including the top, low cost operators, the Algarve is within easy reach. Flights being to Faro at the heart of the coast, no resort being a long drive away. The cost of living is low yet the standard is high, the cuisine being amongst the finest and most healthy in Europe. The EU has made a significant difference to the area, in the past years the infrastructure has shown tremendous improvement. Properties are very well constructed and consistently show good capital growth. Developers are now well experienced in creating products to suit the English and Irish markets, so you can be sure that there will be a property to suit you. The facilities and popularity of the coast make it an excellent opportunity to create rental income. First and foremost, Albufeira is famed for its beaches, for the countless shades and tones of its rocks and cliffs. This is a place where people live to the rhythm of the great holiday destinations, sunbathing during the day and at sunset flocking to enjoy the restaurants, bars and discos that enliven the night-time hours. Just a few miles inland and everything changes. The green of the countryside is dotted with almond, fig, orange and pine trees and decorated chimneys stand out against the ochre of tiled roofs.
