Algarve property 'offers autumnal sunshine'

The Algarve offers a climatic treat with its sunny weather providing a taste of summer well into autumn, it has been noted.

In a feature on the region, the Daily Telegraph stated that the average temperature in September is 26 C and in October it is 22 C, which makes it good for autumn holidays.

Those wishing to move overseas might want to take advantage of the warmer climate for the whole year by buying a home in the region.

People considering purchasing in Portugal may see their property gain in value due to improved transport links, which could include new high-speed rail connections.

Spain is planning to build such railways and link them to Portugal, with the go-ahead for a connection to Lisbon being dependent on the outcome of the imminent Portuguese general election.

Prime minister Jose Socrates is keen to see the project go ahead, but opposition leader, Social Democrat Manuela Ferreira Leite, has pledged to suspend the project to curb public spending.
