PR1 - Do Passado ao Presente

The PR1 - Do Passado ao Presente is a circular trail with an urban and cultural character that passes through the historic village of Castro Marim. It develops around the old town centre, allowing visitors to observe some of the main heritage elements linked to the defensive and religious history of the region. Along the route, landmarks such as Castro Marim Castle, the Fort of São Sebastião, the Church of Nossa Senhora dos Mártires and the Revelim de Santo António stand out. At several points along the trail, it is possible to observe the surrounding landscape of the Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António Marsh Natural Reserve, as well as the estuary area of the Guadiana River. The trail has a low physical difficulty level, developing mainly in an urban environment and on gentle terrain paths. There is also a small optional detour to the traditional salt pans of Castro Marim, associated with the region's artisanal salt production.
