Silver Coast - Portugal

Overview
Getting There

Overview

Less than an hours drive from Lisbon International Airport along the new A8 motorway, the little known Silver Coast or Costa de Prata is slowly opening its doors to the outside world. Here you’ll discover beautiful fine sanded beaches and deep blue sea, gentle rolling hills and a lagoon fringed with pine trees, an enchanted island with an ancient fortress, historical monuments and fascinating museums and a wonderfully diverse gastronomy with mouthwatering fish and shellfish dishes.

The tranquil Silver Coast really does offer you the best of every world. A life of rural calm amid sleepy towns, villages and beautiful countryside, along with access to all the modern facilities of transport, healthcare, education and leisure. There are many hotels with superb facilities and a variety of restaurants, bars and lively venues. You can enjoy entertainments and events throughout the year: concerts, fairs, festivals, art exhibitions and the Torres carnival.

For golfers, the region is the new destination in Portugal with 18-hole courses at Praia d’el Rey and Rio Maior and 9-hole courses at Consolação and Porto Novo. You can also try your hand at fishing and scuba-diving, surfing, sailing, rowing and windsurfing, paragliding, hang-gliding and horse riding. And don’t forget the wonderful cuisine or the local wines from one of the largest wine growing areas in Portugal.

Getting There

The national airline is TAP Air Portugal which flies from Heathrow, Manchester and Gatwick to Lisbon’s Portela Airport. You can also fly with British Airways to Lisbon from Heathrow and Gatwick, and with Monarch to Lisbon from Gatwick. From 1 March 2006, EasyJet started to operate a daily flight from London Luton to Lisbon. If you’re driving from England, the quickest route is via the Plymouth-Santander or Portsmouth-Bilbao ferries to northern Spain and then on to Portugal. In the Republic of Ireland, you can fly direct from Dublin and Cork to Lisbon Airport. From continental Europe, there are regular flights from all of the major European capitals and large cities direct to Lisbon. From Lisbon Airport it’s a short drive across to the Troia Peninsula.
