アルクティムのおすすめツーリングルート

The castle sits atop a hill overlooking the Guadiana River. The river forms the natural border between Portugal and Spain.

Beautiful reservoir with partly low water levels...

Cycling along the Guadiana River from Castro Marim it's a great experience. The road is not very busy. Mandatory visit.

A small town nestled on the side of a hill, on a bend in the border river, the Guadiana. And across the road, Spain.

Bularco de Baixo is a small village where the route towards the Guadiana River begins. There is little to do there, besides the parking lot, water fountain and the occasional place to buy a few things.

Alcoutim Castle was built in the second half of the 13th century, under the reign of D. Sancho II. This castle played a crucial role during the Reconquista and the War of Restoration of Independence. In the 20th century, it was subject to conservation and restoration. Currently, it houses a museum that displays the rich archaeological heritage of the castle and the surrounding region, including pieces from the Neolithic to the Modern Period.

Unfortunately, we were unlucky and were at the castle on a Monday, but it is closed then.
