Life in Portugal     A Vida em Portugal


We’ve got it all: Wonderful weather, friendly people, fantastic food, great local wine, a mountain view, an ocean for surfing and a bay for swimming.

We live in Salir do Porto, a village some 60 miles Northwest of Lisbon, high up on the cliffs of the bay of Sao Martinho. Salir has approximately 900 inhabitants, a small supermarket, a baker’s, four pubs, a bar, two beach pavilions, three restaurants and a little old church.
Below us, the river leads to the bay, the dunes and the beach. Above us cliffs with old windmills, and behind these is the ocean. At 150 ft high and 600 ft wide, Salir do Porto has one of the largest dunes in Europe. At the bottom of the headland are the ruins of the old customs building, the Alfandega. There is also a fresh water spring that can only be reached at low tide. At the top of the headland is the ruined chapel of Sant`Anna.

Spending your holiday at Salir do Porto, you have the choice of Oasis, the luxury villa with swimming pool, or the neighbouring apartment which sleeps 4. We could also help you find alternative accommodation in the village or in São Martinho do Porto. Or rent an apartment in the hills, at "Quinta Antes o Vento" Look and make your choice.
