The Silver Coast and Blue Coast of Northern Portugal
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.
