About Renting a Car at Praia Verde Center

Praia Verde is a small, scenic beach resort on the Algarve coast in eastern Algarve, known for its pristine nature reserve and long sandy beaches. With a rental car from the center, you can reach Castro Marim with its impressive medieval castle in 8 km and 10 minutes. Vila Real de Santo António at the Spanish border is just 12 km away.

The town is located within Ria Formosa Natural Park and is surrounded by salt marshes and lagoons that are perfect to explore by car. Monte Gordo, the neighboring town with more restaurants and facilities, is 4 km to the west. The border to Spain and Ayamonte is reached in 15 minutes of driving via the bridge over the Guadiana River.

Rent a car early in the morning to make the most of both the nature reserve and a day trip to Spain. An SUV is recommended if you want to drive on the gravel roads that lead to more remote beaches in the reserve. Combine a visit to Castro Marim's castle with a tour of the historic salt pans below.
