Hi everyone

Does anyone know if the Gois area has suffered from Wildfires in the past, we are looking at purchasing a property there but are worried that this could be a major issue now and even more so in the future.

The risks of wildfires are real.

That map reflects the fire risk, given the temperatures today (August) across the country. Unfortunately, this is the case throughout Southern Europe ... and not only that, .... in Sweden (last year), in Siberia (this year), ..... if you're running away from fire risk, ... are there safe places nowadays.... ?

Totally agree, we have been looking at apartments in the Portimao, I think this is a safer bet, less risk.
