Border Towns

Vila Real de Santo António, a planned 18th-century town, boasts elegant squares, tree-lined avenues, and a charming waterfront along the Guadiana River. Its bustling markets, cafés, and riverside promenades make it a lively destination for shopping, dining, and strolling. A short trip from the town leads to the long golden sands of Praia de Monte Gordo and peaceful coastal walks along the river.

Just a few kilometres inland, Castro Marim enchants with its medieval castle and fortifications, perched atop a hill overlooking the Guadiana. The village is surrounded by salt flats and nature reserves, perfect for birdwatching and scenic walks.

Together, these towns offer a perfect blend of coastal leisure, historical exploration, and natural beauty, making them must-visit destinations in the Eastern Algarve.
