Why the Algarve Is Portugal’s Next Hotspot for Modern Living
The Algarve is considered by many one of the best places to live in Portugal, due to its natural beauty and high quality, relaxed lifestyle, which makes it attractive to not only tourists but also people looking to relocate. Below are some of the reasons why the Algarve is becoming Portugal’s next hotspot for modern living:
Warm climate and stunning beaches
The good weather filled with sunny days and warm temperatures, plus the dozens of beaches along its coastline, are undoubtedly one of the main attractions of the Algarve, especially for those who love sunbathing and for people who practice water sports.
Entertainment and activities
There are cultural and recreational activities for all ages, such as local markets selling fresh food and artisanal Algarve delicacies. There are also plenty of fun outdoor activities to do, including hiking, cycling and bird watching, in both coastal and rural landscapes.
Safety and good accessibility
Portugal is considered one of the safest countries in the world and the Algarve region typically registers low crime rates. The Algarve is conveniently connected to major European cities, with regular flights as well as road networks.
Reasonable cost of living
The Algarve continues to offer a relatively affordable cost of living compared to other popular European destinations, where housing, food and entertainment are generally more affordable.
Healthcare international schools
Residents can access public healthcare at the local hospitals or health centres, and, for families with children, the Algarve offers quality education through public, private and international schools.
Welcoming locals and expat community
The local Portuguese are known for their friendly nature, and many speak English, making communication and integration easier. Additionally, the Algarve already has an existing large expat community that creates a welcoming environment for people looking to relocate.
Faster internet and coworking spaces
In the past years, the Algarve has been improving its internet infrastructure and it is starting to offer coworking spaces to cater to remote workers, small businesses and entrepreneurs.
