THE ALGARVE AREA
Without doubt the Algarve in Portugal still offers exceptional value for money and with capital growth and rental returns here good, there has never been a better time to buy.
The Algarve offers a safe environment with over 300 days of sunshine per year, what more could you wish for?
The main airport of Faro is served by numerous British airlines including EasyJet whose prices are highly competitive.
Property prices in South Portugal are very much lower than in Spain and yet properties are still of high quality and there is a low rise building policy wherever possible.
ALBUFEIRA REGION
Albufeira is one of the most popular resorts in the Algarve and this is where Churchills Estate Agents specialise in the properties they have on offer.
Albufeira began as a small fishing village huddled in narrow alleyways. Early growth along the east coast incorporated the once separate communities and the main tourist area has now moved away from the old village centre.
Approximately three and a half kilometres to the east of the old town is the most famous area which is known as “the strip” an Avenida of shops, bars, restaurants and clubs which runs from Montechoro to the beach at Praia da Oura. For many visitors the golden sandy beach and the vibrant nightlife offered here provide the perfect holiday ingredients.
Should you wish to venture away from the beautiful beaches you can search for a bargain at Loule market, the largest on the Algarve, or explore the countryside on a day safari showing you the real Algarve.
There are two local golf courses with many more in the surrounding areas and a wide choice of water sports as well as boat trips available in the area.
With something for everyone, retired couples feel just as at home here as active teenagers and families with young children alike.
