Deep Blue
Beautiful Blue Coast Portugal
Troia Peninsula, Portugal
Less than a thirty minute drive south of Lisbon, nature with her untainted beauty unfolds into one of the most picturesque and magical parts of Portugal.
Troia peninsula is a charmed natural reserve located between the deep blue and green depths of the Atlantic Ocean and the tranquility of the National Sado Estuary.
Filled with an abundance of natural wildlife you'll be a regular spectator of the protected dolphins, cranes and herons that make Troia peninsula their home.
You will enjoy magnificent landscapes that have taken centuries to form and which could have been taken directly out of your favourite fairy tale.
Troia peninsula has seventeen kilometers of un-spoilt beaches on the Atlantic and a little more on the Sado which are ideal for the sun lovers or those whom love to stroll whilst enjoying the warm breeze that blow's in off the ocean.
Tróia peninsula is one of the most beautiful places on earth which may encourage you and your partner to enjoy one of the most romantic times of your life.
Stretching from the tip of Costa da Caparica with her views to Lisbon; all the way down to the top of the Algarve, the Blue Coast Portugal has become one of the hottest property spots and tourist destinations in the whole of Europe. If you are intending to buy in Portugal, investment magazines and property Guru's are recommending that before you view any other homes for sale in Portugal, that you visit the Blue Coast first.
The Costa Azul as it is known to the Portuguese has always been one of their favourite tourist destinations and is abundantly blessed with diverse landscapes and pristine beaches that for thousands of years were untouched by man.
The area boasts thousands of hectares of protected natural habitat which include the Fossil Cliffs in Cabo Espichel, the Serra da Arrabida Nature Reserve and mountain ranges that overlook the Atlantic Ocean; bird sanctuaries, dolphin observation on the Sado Estuary and the enchanting freshwater lakes and lagoons in Sancha and Santo Andre.
The Blue Coast Portugal is an historical and magical part of the Portuguese landscape and is covered with a variety of flora that changes colours as each season passes. The crystal clear ocean that mixes its natural blue and green often reflects like a mirror in its calm and stillness which invites you to relax on her private beaches which are banked by anciently formed dunes of eons past.
The small towns of Costa da Caparica, Sesimbra and the village of Aldeia do Meco are located between the tip of the Blue Coast and roll all the way down through to the Serra da Arrabida. The Serra begins on the hillsides of Sesimbra and winds through Palmela, Azeitão and a number of other small villages and hamlets until it reaches the sea town of Setubal. Here you will find one of Portugal's oldest fishing ports which is still very much in operation today.
From Setubal you will take the ferry across the Sado Estuary with her mud-flats and net-casting fishermen; and home to the otter, badger and her own pod of Bottlenose dolphins. Your thirty minute ferry ride will take you to the Troia peninsula where the latest developments of luxury tourism are taking place.
The Troia peninsula throughout her different seasons is home to almost two hundred species of birds including the stork, the Harrier and the heron, and at one time was an influential area both for Bronze Age Man and at a much later stage the Roman Empire. In fact even today the Roman ruins may be visited with the assistance of a guide on the first Saturday of every month, where you will see the Roman spas, shrines and hippodrome.
From here you may travel the single road onto to Comporta, Carvalhal and Melides, passing through a number of small villages and roadside towns. You will travel through some of the prettiest terrain and will marvel at the scenic beauty where the ocean touches the shore majestically mingling the blue of the ocean and the green of the landscape.
Along your journey you will see much agricultural cultivation including rice, grass, vegetable fields, fruit groves, vines and cork oaks all winding the coast as you head south, and not forgetting the Blue Coast beaches of unrivalled charm and peace.
As you move further south along the Alentejo coastline you will pass the deep water port of Sines and onto Porto Covo, and Vila Novo Mil Fontes along the St Vincent coast.
The cultural diversity of its villages and people with their unique and individual festivals and fairs will enable you to enjoy and celebrate every day as each town and city has its own historical story which can be seen in their costume, customs, manor homes and castles; with pilgrimage taken at the local churches, chapels, and shrines.
For your pleasure you may enjoy a selection of activities which include sailing, kayaking, surfing, windsurf, water-ski, motor-boat cruising, scuba diving, on or offshore angling and horse riding, to suggest but a few.
One of your most enjoyable experiences will be found at the dining table, the Blue Coast Portugal has some of the richest and most delightfully tasting menus to be found throughout the whole of the country; and add to this a variety of superb wines which are produced locally throughout the area and your time here will be a memorable journey that lasts forever.
Blue Coast Property Portugal
Due to the current financial crisis, it has been said in jest that when you fly over Portugal you are greeted by a huge sign that says Portugal for Sale. In fact, if it is your intention to look for property for sale in Portugal then today maybe a better time than ever to find your perfect home.
Casas na Praia (Beach Homes)
If you are looking at beach property for sale in Portugal, then the Blue Coast will offer an immense array of properties that will vary in price. You will be able to find a property in Portugal for as little as twenty thousand Euros and yet should you so desire you may invest in excess of ten million.
Typical Alentejo Houses for Sale Portugal along the Blue Coast
You will see many single storey homes for sale in Portugal, dotted along your travels. Generally the typical Alentejo property will be positioned at the edge of a parcel of agricultural terrain and is or was once inhabited by the family or worked the land. Typically these houses are painted white with blue or yellow borders which also decorates the windows too. These homes generally have walls with thicknesses in excess of 60cm, with many boasting a fireplace fit for a country manor.
Currently there are a number of upscale developments taking form along the Costa Azul, with the major players and investors concentrating between Troia and Carvalhal.
These developments are currently seeing hundreds of millions of Euro's being invested, which is probably the reason why many professionals in the industry are forecasting triple digit price increases over the next ten years.
These first class developments include luxury hotels with tourist villas and condos, golf courses, horse riding stables, sailing and motor boat facilities, a variety of water sports, numerous nature trails and fauna observation and simply relaxing or spending your days at the beach.
If it is your intention to look at property in Portugal, then the Costa Azul is the place to start.
