A day in Mértola: stand up paddle on the Guadiana, traditional lunch and a visit to the castle and museum. Transfer from Cabanas. Oct–Apr.
Why visit Mértola
Seen from the water, the village of Mértola seems out of time, full of ancient and historical memories wherever you look.
We’ll drive you there to paddleboard on the waters of the Guadiana river. Lunch and, on Tours 2 and 3, a visit to the castle and its museum are included too. A one-day tour that mixes adventure, gastronomy and history — you will be amazed. Please note that we only run these tours from October to April.
