2022 / Silver Coast, Portugal Ben Hillman on 6 January 2022

Silver Coast, Portugal Ben Hillman

Myra and Eric have always dreamt of retiring to the sunshine on Portugal's stunning Silver Coast, where friends and family can come and visit. Ben Hillman shows them what £300,000 can buy them in the area in this brand new episode!

Why buy here?

Situated on the west coast of Portugal, flights from the UK to Lisbon airport take around two and a half hours. The southern Silver Coast borders the Atlantic ocean and takes its name from its beaches because when the sunlight reflects on the sand, the whole coastline appears to turn silver. Known as the real Portugal, it is rapidly becoming a very popular destination for holiday makers who don’t like the tourism of the Algarve and come here instead where they can enjoy over 90 miles of unspoilt shoreline
