Monte Gordo is a town and a freguesia of the municipality of Vila Real de Santo António, the southeasternmost of the Algarve, Portugal. Formerly a fishermen's town, Monte Gordo's economy is nowadays oriented to tourism due to its long sandy beaches.
Algarve's mild climate has attracted interest from Northern Europeans wishing to have a holiday home or residence in the region. Being a region of Portugal, and therefore in the European Union, any EU citizen has the right to freely buy property and reside with little formality in the Algarve. British expatriates, followed by German, Dutch and Scandinavians, are among the largest groups wishing to own a home in this sunny region of Portugal.
