Hiking

The Guadiana, over 800 km long, flows through Spain and Portugal and, in two stretches, marks the border between the two countries, as is the case here in this area. It flows into the Atlantic nearby, between Vila Real de Santo António and Ayamonte.

Called Anas by the Romans (perhaps "of the ducks," perhaps simply "river" in Celtiberian), it received the name Uádi Ana from the Moors, which over time transformed into Ouadiana, Odiana, and finally Guadiana.

Here in the Algarve region, the river winds through sunny landscapes, accompanied by dirt roads that complete the idyllic setting.
