Castro Marim

Castro Marim holidays

You’ll find Castro Marim next to the Guadiana – the river that defines the Portugal-Spain border. This eastern Algarve town oozes Portuguese charm with its medieval buildings and Moorish castle. The fascinating landscape features salt pans, ancient walls and rolling hills. Why not hit a street-side café and watch the world go by?

Be at one with nature

Stretching for nearly 2,000 hectares, the Reserva Natural do Sapal is right on your doorstep. It’s home to more than 150 species of birds, including storks and flamingos, as well as hundreds of plant species and colourful chameleons. Pick up a handy guide from the park’s HQ and adventure at your leisure.

Beach days are never far away

The sun-drenched shores of Praia Verde and Praia de Monte Gordo are both a short drive away. These long stretches of sand meet in the middle with an eclectic selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Grab a lounger and soak up those Portuguese rays on your Algarve holiday.
