January 1, 2026, Salt Pans of Reserva Natural do Sapal de Castro Marim e Vila Real de Santo António

The Castro Marim Salt Pans, located in the Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António Salt Marsh Nature Reserve, are a historical and ecological landmark of the Algarve, where the artisanal production of salt and fleur de sel remains alive. 👍

Getting here by bike requires some climbing. But it's definitely worth it.

In the heart of the Algarve, perched on a hill on the right bank of the Guadiana River, Castro Marim Castle holds centuries of history and battles. Although human presence in the region dates back to prehistoric times, it was here that Romans and Muslims found a strategically valuable vantage point, taking advantage of its privileged position. The imposing fortification you can visit today (for a small fee) was built in the 13th century by order of King Dinis, serving as a defensive bastion against invasions and as a watchful sentinel on the border with Spain. At the top, the reward is a breathtaking panoramic view: the town of Castro Marim at your feet, the shimmering salt flats, the bridge connecting Portugal and Spain, and, in the distance, neighboring Ayamonte.

Castro Marim Castle was strategically built in the 13th century on a hill on the right bank of the Guadiana River. Currently, only the remains of the castle remain, including four towers, a gate, the ruins of the 14th-century Church of São Tiago, the Mayor's Palace, and a few houses.
