Alcoutim Town
The town of Alcoutim is a total gem located on the shore of Guadiana River, overlooking its Spanish neighbour, Sanlúcar de Guadiana village. Perched on a hillside, its cobbled streets wind up and down, many leading to the riverside promenade which is lined with cheerful cafes and romantic restaurants.
When not tucking into a hearty Algarvean meal, residents of Alcoutim have the choice of exploring an array of nature trails which really come to life in spring when the flowers bloom. Alternatively, you can hop on one of the boats which chug along Guadiana revealing the true beauty of the area along the way.
It's certainly worth owning a car in Alcoutim as road trips are another excellent way to explore the area and its quaint hamlets.
