Une belle découverte entre nature et patrimoine

Une excursion très agréable et bien organisée. La balade en bateau sur le Guadiana était paisible, avec de superbes paysages. Alcoutim est un village charmant, authentique, et la visite du château nous plonge dans l’histoire locale. Le guide était excellent, très à l’écoute. Une belle manière de découvrir un autre visage de l’Algarve.

A charming escape to a hidden gem

This full-day trip was a highlight of our time in the Algarve. The boat ride up the Guadiana River offered stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Alcoutim is a beautiful village with a rich history, and the castle tour added great cultural value. The guide was friendly and informative. Highly recommended for those wanting something off the beaten path!

We’ll worth walking up the hill

There’s a museum with ruins that some date BC and the castle is pretty intact to walk around outside. Great views looking into Spain across the guardiana River.
