The Property Market in Portugal
Portugal is an attractive location for house buyers, with the Algarve being the most popular area for British buyers, mainly due to the weather, golden beaches, and the abundance of golf courses. It is Portugal’s busiest, most developed region and it is reported that 90 percent of all property sales to foreign buyers are in the Algarve.
The age of Internet and ADSL means that mobility of labour is very much a reality and it is easily possible to maintain instant contact with colleagues anywhere in the world. Satellite TV means access to English language television and VOIP systems give you a U.K. telephone number and U.K. calls at low rates.
There are excellent air connections to anywhere in Europe and intercontinentally from Faro or Lisbon airports, making it perfectly possible to base yourself in Portugal and ‘commute’ back to the U.K. Many of the ‘budget’ airlines fly into Faro from Stanstead, Luton, Bristol, Gatwick, Heathrow, East Midlands, Dublin or Manchester and offer excellent value charter fares. Additional routes come on stream during the summer months.

Weather in Albufeira today
Well yesterday it hit 33C/91F and in town it felt a lot hotter, with the heat bouncing off the walls and pavements. I spent the afternoon on the beach where it was much cooler with the breeze. Today, 0930 and it is 25C/77F, today's high expected to be as yesterday. The sky is blue, the sea is dazzling blue with little white yacht sails dotted about. Wind has picked up a little but is still the dry air from the north. There is not a speck of rain anywhere on the radar. Outlook - same.
