This tour starts by boarding our beloved “Jasmim Flor” cruise ship at the Vila Real de Santo António quay, following a 2-hour circular cruise on the Guadiana River, along the Spanish-Portuguese border.

We start sailing down river, in front of Vila Real, until its mouth. Then, we invert the direction and sail up, passing by the medieval village of Castro Marim and the salt pans.

Ayamonte and the International Bridge are the following places to be appreciated. A unique opportunity to spot some of the differences between Spain and Portugal.

Around noon it’s time to start the guided tour of Vila Real de Santo António through the city’s historic heritage.

This stimulating exercise is followed by a tasty lunch in one of the city’s many typical restaurants.

After lunch, you can spend the rest of the afternoon as you like – wandering around the streets of the town, doing some shopping or stroll around the charming marina – as long as you’re back to the starting point at 4 pm.
