WHAT TO DO IN THE AREA?

Castro Marim

On the top of one hill stands a castle, on the other a star-shaped fort. Between the two, the houses of Castro Marim are spread, with their
colourful parapets, their flat roofs and their ornate chimneys sculpted into lace-like patterns. All around, the dark brown of the schist, set off by the cool blue of the river and, on the horizon, the sea.

Historical Centre

Linking the church, the castle and the fort, the streets of Castro Marim are lined with houses whose simplicity is typical of the architecture of
the Algarve. White predominates, broken here and there by ochres and luminous blues. The parapets on the houses reflect a taste for geometrical patterns and floral motifs.
