Portugal information
"Fantastic beaches, pictorial cities, magnificent monasteries
and always sun "
With over 3.000 hours of sun in the year , it belongs to the golden beaches
of the Algarve ,where holiday-makers are spoiled climatically.
In addition, the Silver Coast (Costa Prata) or the Green coast and historical
pregnant cities such as Lisbon and Porto make of the
journey in the southwest of Europe a unique experience.
Excerpt from "FREIZEIT REVUE"
( where the world is most beautiful: ) Edition April 2002:
One of the last Holiday-paradises in Europe:
Portugal is a wonderful country in the south of Europe, one of the last
Holiday-paradises without too much Tourism.
Lisbon:
The capital Lisbon, with its special Flair, is not only a modern large city
but
offers also to the visitor famous buildings and monuments, tradition and culture,
and is internationally well-known.
The Costa Prata:
The Costa Prata, also mentioned Silver
Coast , with its delightful landscape,
is situated between Porto and Lisbon and combines everything that one can
dream of a holiday country.
Here you find nearly deserted sand beaches and crystal-clear, clean water,
green, flowering dunes and hills, with wonderful trees up to the beaches and
naturally innumerable palms and cactusses, in order to call only some points
of this delightful coast.
Climate:
Here a healthy, mild climate with much sun prevails, also during the winter
months.
The high summer at the Costa Prata brings temperatures of maximally 30 degrees,
and in the winter the Temparatur falls rarely under 15° at the day and
10° at night.
Sport:
Of course the Costa Prata offers also a large coice of sport activities. Waterskiing
in each form, diving, Surf, Wind Surf, Fishing, Riding, Tennis, Kite flying,
etc. and as
special attraction of Golf-courts directly at the sea.
Ski:
In addition, the Serra-da-Estrela offers you winter sports possibilities for
skiing
You reach this area, which provides a unusually mild climate, in 2 to 3 hours
by car,
depending upon starting point.
Culture:
You also get a culturally very rich variety of historical buildings, monasteries,
cathedrals, castles, fortresses etc.
Traditions:
The Portuguese are very tradition conscious and maintain their traditional
customs,
also in the practice of their occupation. In many localities you meet fishermen
and
market-women in folcloristic clothes who do their work invariably, as before
one
hundred years.
The Portuguese are also very friendly and merry people, who celebrate gladly
and
often, the carnival in this region is one of the most spectacular events.
Shopping:
Also are there very good purchase possibilities, where you can find fashion
shops,
whose offer in Chic and elegance is not inferior to our mode metropolises
of larger
cities , but are substantially lower-priced.
Prices:
The cost of living in this coastal region is low, this concerns also food,
craftsman costs etc..
Also real estates, houses, properties or mansions at the sea are affordable
and in relation
to different holiday-regions still favorable.
Worth knowing:
However the criminality rate is substantially lower than in the other southern
countries.
Naturally Portugal has very good road connections, and a very good motorway
between Porto, Nazaré, Leiria and Lisbon, also the medical supply is
very well organized.
Therefore the Costa Prata or silver coast offer ideal conditions for an unforgettable
vacation in one of the comfortable holiday houses or apartments, and is also
suitable for
domiciliation as a continuous guest, or as second domicile for older people.
Geography
Portugal occupies the western part of the Iberian Peninsula
and is slightly smaller than Indiana.
The country is crossed by three large rivers that rise in Spain, flow into
the Atlantic,
and divide the country into three geographic areas. The Minho River, part
of the northern boundary,
cuts through a mountainous area that extends south to the vicinity of the
Douro River.
South of the Douro, the mountains slope to the plains around the Tejo River.
The remaining division is the southern one of Alentejo. The Azores stretch
over 340 mi (547 km)
in the Atlantic and consist of nine islands with a total area of 902 sq mi
(2,335 sq km).
Madeira, consisting of two inhabited islands, Madeira and Porto Santo,
and two groups of uninhabited islands, lie in the Atlantic about 535 mi (861
km) southwest of Lisbon.
