Buyer notes
The most rural and weather-exposed municipality. Works for seasonal AL and specific nature-tourism niches. Not a primary-residence choice for most foreign buyers.
Flagship areas
Before offering. The price per m² is INE's median for homes sold in the concelho over twelve months, all types together; a given street or building can sit far from it. AL status depends on the current municipal câmara decision under DL 76/2024 - verify via the câmara website before relying on it. Always cross-check with a Portuguese property lawyer.
