Vila Real de Santo Antonio and Castro Marim
Esplanade along Rio Guadiana in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, Portugal's most southeastern point, with Spain on the other side of the river
Park and esplanade along Rio Guadiana (a lovely place for our picnic lunch!)
Esplanade and marina in Vila Real de Santo Antonio
Marina in Vila Real de Santo Antonio. We were told by a British expat who lived there year round that the boat, Lady Jean, is owned and lived on full time by a former British women's bicycling champion, and that, though she no longer sails since her husband died, she still cycles every day.
Ruins of the 14th century castle at Castro Marim. Built on the site of Roman and then Moorish forts, it is high above the mouth of the river between Spain and Portugal, and in an obviously srategic position
Salt flats, Rio Guadiana, and Spain on the other side of the river, seen from the ruins of the fort at Castro Marim
Salt awaits processing on the salt flats below Castro Marim
