There is a lot coming up for auction on 12th April 2019 of 13 publicly owned properties in the north of Portugal. The properties are being sold by the Directorate General of the Treasury (Direção Geral do Tesouro), because the assets that are now coming onto the market are owned by the State and other Public Institutions. The session is scheduled for 10:30 and will take place in the Salão Nobre da Câmara Municipal in the town of Paredes de Coura.
The supply of properties on offer is very varied.

But that’s not all.
