Castro Marim Nature Reserve
Castro Marim is one of the oldest communities in the Algarve and was an important center of Arab power until 1242.
The strategic position on the border and the need to repel the Moorish attacks from North Africa were the reasons to build the Castle, the Fort, and the walls, very well preserved and worthy of a tour.
From the battlements command, there’s an excellent view over the surrounding area, spanning to the magnificent salt-pans reflecting the sunlight in their white expanse, where traditional salt is produced. At far, the Guadiana River meanders.
The elegant outline of the flamingos is a common sight. These lovely birds abound in the fertile plains along the banks of the Guadiana River, home for a wealth of other species, thriving in the Castro Marim Nature Reserve.
Castro Marim
