Some say Vila Real de Santo Antonio is the most attractive town on the Algarve. It certainly stands out with its 18th century town planning by none other than Marques de Pombal who is also to thank for the beauty of Lisbon.

To this day, Praça de Pombal square stands in his honour with a striking obelisk as its centrepiece, a pavement of black-and-white tiles and an array of orange trees scattered throughout.

The Praça is an intrinsic part of the town's grid system, with another being  the Avenida da República esplanade running along the Guadiana river, which marks the border between Portugal and Spain.
