The Castro Marim municipality
The whole Castro Marim municipality, in one place.
Guarding the Guadiana since the Middle Ages, Castro Marim is castle country: salt pans, flamingo marshes and Portugal’s first nature reserve, with the beaches of Altura down the road. This is everything happening across the concelho: the towns, the beaches, the events and the businesses, brought together and kept current by the community.
