Castro Marim

The municipality of Castro Marim is characterized by its extensive mountain ranges, where wildflowers abound, and by the orchards and vegetable gardens on the banks of the Guadiana River, which marks the border with Ayamonte. It is worth taking advantage of the mild temperature, sun and sea, on the best beaches in the municipality. For nature lovers, the Castro Marim Salt Marsh Nature Reserve offers the possibility of observing the rich and diverse fauna and flora. When it comes to culinary pleasures, the local gastronomy is quite varied, but the specialty is undoubtedly grilled fish, namely sea bream, sea bass, shrimp and lamprey. Among the sweets, the irresistible almond tarts and the cinnamon pastry cake from Azinhal stand out.
