castro marim guide

Situated at the eastern edge of the Algarve, Castro Marim is the last town before the Spanish border, and approaching it one will see its majestic castle almost calling to visitors.

The town is surrounded and imbued in rich history, having been long associated with the Knights Templar. Castro Marim organizes a very large monthly market, on the second Saturday of every month – this is where you can find a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as hams, local cheeses and honey, not to mention there’s also an antiques market held on the same days in Vila Real St. Antonio.
