Itinerary description

Fortaleza en ruinas, excelente mirador de la costa que antes defendía.

Situated between Burgau and Salema, Boca Do Rio beach ("Mouth of the River") can be accessed either via the dusty back road that runs between the two villages or from the main EN125 turning off at Budens. In ancient times the area was under cultivation by the Romans for rice and other produce. There is no beach bar and in the off-season it is usually frequented by family camper vans and touring buses, with each group staking out their 'claim' close to the beach. In the high season the local police try to move the campers away from the beach to a spot behind the wetlands in the valley that forms the 'mouth' of the river.
