CASTRO MARIM
This compact fortified town on the margins of the expansive Guadiana river boasts a rich history dating back to Roman times. Overlooking vast salt flats and bordered by the Reserva Natural do Sapal de Castro Marim, there is much to offer the visitor. White washed houses align narrow cobbled streets winding up to the impressive castle fortifications, whose construction was ordered by King Alfonso III during the XIII Century, with presence on this strategic site dating back to the bronze age. While away a lazy afternoon visiting the castle grounds and enjoy a favourite tipple in one of several bars and cafes dotted along pretty tranquil streets. For provisions, several mini-markets offer the basics, while larger supermarkets and an excellent selection of shopping facilities can be found in the nearby handsome border town of Vila Real do Santo António, just a short drive away.
Cuisine: Several traditional eateries can be found within Castro Marim itself, while country restaurants dotted in the surrounding olive covered lands and small nearby villages, such as Monte Francisco, provide perfect spots to sample hearty meals at very reasonable prices. For a greater selection, and for delicious seafood, head to Vila Real where the daily catch is served simply grilled with flavoursome local produce. Or head across the border, via ferry or road, to the vibrant Andalusian town of Ayamonte, where pretty tile bedecked squares and cosy cafes and restaurants serve varied and appetizing tapas.
Beaches: You are never far from a fabulous sun-drenched golden beach on the Algarve and the nearby stretch of sands from Vila Real heading west do not disappoint. Boasting many Blue Flag distinctions of excellence, the beaches along this coast are expansive, slowly sloping and backed by golden dunes. Whether is be at Vila Real, ever popular Monte Gordo or chic Praia Verde, there is a beach for all occasions!
Nature: Head to the local Reserva Natural for excellent birdwatching or simply for walks or cycling along the various trails. Take a boat trip along the meandering Guadiana to witness marine and bird life along this majestic river which forms a natural border between Portugal and Spain, or head west to the vast Ria Formosa Natural Park, a haven for countless birdlife and with a unique flora and fauna
Activities: Golf is never far away and the superb courses at Castro Marim and Monte Rei offer first rate facilities amongst lush, manicured surroundings. For the more adventurous, try water sports at the many local beaches including kite surfing, wind surfing or paddle boarding. Country lanes heading inland into the sparsely populated undulating interior offer excellent opportunities for mountain or road biking, or why not try some tennis at the excellent sports facilities in Vila Real? For more sedate pleasures, then the salt and mud baths at Castro Marim, within a working salt farm, provide a great diversion from the beach for the day…
