From Ayamonte, In a few minutes it is possible to cross the maritime border and enjoy some of the quietest and most exclusive corners of southern Portugal., away from the busiest beaches.

If you are thinking about renting a boat with a skipper or enjoying a private excursion, These are some of the places that cannot be missed on your route.

The Tavira Island It is one of the great treasures of the eastern Algarve.
