Vila Real de Santo António, a entirely flat city, the place to stay, enjoy and relax! Ideal for the golden years of life! Vila Real de Santo António was founded in 1774 by Marquês de Pombal and the city scheme is similar to downtown Lisbon. The must see spots are: the Marquês de Pombal Square, the marina and the old town, where you will be surprised by the countless architectural details of the older buildings. One of them is the border building where now you can take the ferry and cross the river Guadiana to the town of Ayamonte in neighbouring Spain. The village has a large sports complex, fully equipped for the vast majority of sports. Another town of sightseeing interest is Castro Marim, located 6km away. Its ancient castle and stronghold still stand and have been recently restored. These monuments are a reminder of ancient times in the Algarve; times where no one wanted to come on vacation! Here you can see countless salt-pans, some of which are recognised world-wide for the quality of their salt, and stroll through the Natural Reserve marshes. The Reserve covers a vast area of 2000 hectares.
