Roadtrip Between Sevilha to Albufeira: What to visit

Castro Marim 

Set in the rolling green landscape overlooking the broadening of the river Guadiana is the timeworn village of Castro Marim. Not far from the Atlantic Ocean and just across this natural border with Spain Castro Marim has been strategically important throughout history. As far back as Roman times the river here was used to mark the boundary between what was then Lusitania and Baetica, which were to become Spain and Portugal respectively.

Vila Real de Santo António

Vila Real de Santo Antonio is a delightful portuguese town, which is situated on the mighty Rio Guadiana, at the very eastern edge of the Algarve. The town has a peaceful, unhurried ambience but has a truly unique appearance, resembling more Lisbon than its close neighbours, with a grand central plaza and decorative Pombaline architecture.

Vila Real de Santo Antonio is located in a very scenic region of the Algarve. The town overlooks the cooling waters of the Rio Guadiana, to the north are the salt marshes of the Sapal de Castro Marim, while to the south are the pristine beaches of the eastern Monte Gordo coastline.

A day trip to Vila Real de Santo Antonio has a surprising amount to see, especially considering the relatively small size of the town. At the heart of the town is the impressive Praca Marquês of Pombal plaza, there is the charming marina and following the Rio Guadiana is a pleasant walk to the beautiful beaches.

Faro

This monument was started in 1251, just two years after Faro had been “reconquered” from the Moors.

That explains the warlike appearance of the facade, dominated by a square Gothic tower, one of the few things that dates back to the cathedral’s earliest years.

You can scale this tower to gaze over Faro’s streets and the lagoon.

The remainder of the building has changed because of an attack by the English in the 1596, razing almost everything.

In the 17th and 18th century the interiors were enriched with the luxurious gilded woodwork and tile panels that were in style.

The altar and side chapels gleam with gold, and the walls of the choir have multi-coloured azulejos.
