    Carlos and Rita offered an absolutely fantastic experience. Rita was knowledgeable about the castle and towns history, answered any questions we had and took things at our own pace. Carlos was very welcoming at the tavern, offering us an interesting taster meal, we had fun dressing up and he gave us a keyring each as a gift. Being the end of the season we had the tour to ourselves so it was an absolute bargain! Would definitely visit again.

    We had a wonderful time. The village is beautiful, the guide was excellent, and the owner of the El Caballinho tavern is a fantastic person. The medieval costumes were very well done. And the meal we were treated to was absolutely delicious.

Castro Marim tours and activities | Discover Portugal

Located in the sunny Algarve region of southern Portugal, Castro Marim is a charming town where tranquil landscapes meet centuries-old traditions. Its scenic surroundings, historic landmarks, and proximity to both the Atlantic coast and the Spanish border make it a delightful destination for travelers seeking a blend of nature and culture.

A Glimpse into the Past

With roots dating back to Roman and Moorish times, Castro Marim has long been a strategic site due to its hilltop position near the Guadiana River. Its iconic medieval castle stands as a reminder of its important defensive role over the centuries, and strolling through the old streets is like stepping back in time.
