Portugal, the western-most country in Europe, offers many investment and real estate opportunities for families and tycoons alike. Its Mediterranean climate attracts tourists to its secluded sandy beaches, while its diverse geography brings sight seers from afar. Portugal is split into seven primary regions, which are subdivided into 30 sub-regions. The Alentjo and Algarve regions attract much attention because of their natural beauty and rich culture.

Geographically, the mainland of Portugal is split by the Tagus River. The northern section is very mountainous, while the Southern region, known as the Alentjo Region offers rolling plains and milder weather. If you visit Alentjo, don’t miss the chance to explore the peaceful castles and villages. Alentjo is also a great place to take a safari ride, explore beaches and come face to face with history. If you are planning a trip to Alentejo from the United States, it is best to fly into Libson and then drive the rest of the way.

If you travel further south of the Alentjo region, you will reach the Algarve region which has a climate similar to Spain’s. Algarve is Portugal’s southernmost coastline where the sea is calm and clear. Algarve is a bustling hub in Portugal that has something to offer everyone. From small idyllic fishing towns, to world renown beaches, to over 30 gold courses Algarve is sure to provide visitors with a great time. When flying to Algarve from the United States, first fly into Libson and then Faro. For more information on Portugal and its booming property markets, listen to the podcast on www.condoblog.com.
