About this tour

Alcoutim Village with Boat and Castle Tour

Alcoutim , a village nestled on the hillside invites you to serenity, away from the hustle and bustle of the coast, with a stunning view over the border river, the Guadiana and the village of Sanlucar de Guadiana, Spanish side. Several statues remind us that Alcoutim was, until the mid-20th century, one of the main places for cross-border smuggling.

The 4km ride begins with a trail that captures beautiful views of the river with its gentle curves and calming landscapes. We can stop here and there and watch the sailboats glide over the water.

You will reach the remains of the medieval castle from the Moorish era ( Castelo Velho ), where we can admire a 360° view over the valley. We will continue our stroll peacefully discovering wonders such as a freshwater beach, ideal for cooling off, windmills, a tile fresco that retraces Portuguese culture. Back in the village, you will have the opportunity to visit Alcoutim castle, its garden and its archaeological museum featuring beautiful pieces, including a collection of ancient games.

You can have lunch in one of the city’s restaurants, or, if you prefer, stroll here and there!

In the afternoon, relax along the water for a 45-minute boat ride to discover and admire the incredible beauty of this region. Guaranteed relaxation time!

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.
