Surrounding area

Castro Marim

Castro Marim has, historically, been an important town because of its position near the banks of the Guadiana and its proximity to the coast.

It is a town of typically Portuguese houses and quite wide streets and a lot of the area around is rather flat, making it ideal for bike rides or walks. It is a very laid back town...no hustle and bustle, just people going about their daily tasks and stopping to take an occasional break at one of the local cafes.

A large area of land (some 2000 hectares) between Castro Marim, Monte Gordo and Vila Real de Santo Antonio is the 'Reserva Natural do Sapal' (the salt marsh nature reserve), which is home to some 153 species of birds, including storks, avocets, sandpipers and flocks of flamingos. There are also more than 400 plant species and various reptiles, amphibians and mammals. There is a visitors centre at Cerro da Rocha which can provide guides to itineraries.

If you want to stay somewhere a little different, with wonderful countryside to explore, and relax into the Algarvean way of life, then it is the perfect place.
