Vila Real de Santo António Tour & Boat Cruise

We'll meet at 10 am at the Vila Real de Santo António Marina, where we'll start our boat trip on the River Guadiana.

During the boat tour, we'll pass by the medieval village of Castro Marim to admire its walls and castle, founded by the Knights of the Templar. We will also see the salt marshes and various aquatic birds. On the opposite bank, the Spanish town of Ayamonte will be visible, connected to Castro Marim by the Guadiana International Bridge.

After our 1-hour 30-minute boat cruise, we'll return for a guided tour of Vila Real de Santo António, exploring its history, including the 1755 earthquake that led to its reconstruction. After the tour, lunch will be provided in a typical restaurant.

You will then have an hour and a half of free time for shopping and exploration.

The tour will conclude at 4 pm back at the starting point.
