The Silver Coast area of Portugal is slowly emerging as one of those 'undiscovered' areas of the country. The climate is much more 'temperate' than the south of the country, the landscape is surprisingly green and you will not find any high rise hotels along the coastline. For the local people life goes on at a very leisurely pace and the economy is mainly centered around the fruit and wine growing industry. Our particular little bit of paradise is set in a small development of 5 houses - all but one of them owned by 'Brits' who like to spend as much time as we can soaking up the sunshine, the wonderful local fish and wine! If you like a more independent style of holiday where you can relax with your friends and family in the most tranquil of settings, explore the coastline, dip into the local culture, then this is just for you. Enjoy!
