Une excellente journée à Alcoutim
Nous avons tout aimé de ce voyage. De la promenade facile de 4 km, avec de nombreux arrêts pour prendre des photos et admirer la belle vue sur le fleuve Guadiana. La promenade vers le château médiéval nous a donné l'occasion de prendre plus de photos. Nous avons aimé marcher le long de la plage artificielle d'Acoutim le long de l'affluent du Guadiana, un endroit agréable pour se rafraîchir et se détendre. Nous sommes retournés au village par une jolie rue avec un mur d'azulejos. Après une visite au château d'Acoutim, avec plus de possibilités de photos et une visite au petit musée, nous nous sommes promenés à Acoutim, un charmant village. Déjeuner tranquille, suivi d'un verre dans un café avec un joli jardin d'où vous avez une belle vue sur le fleuve et l'Espagne. Enfin une promenade en bateau de 45 minutes que nos 3 petits-enfants ont apprécié car ils ont pu prendre le contrôle du bateau. . . une journée bien remplie avec Nuno qui est un excellent guide et qui a manifestement aimé partager son amour pour cette belle partie de l'Algarve.
