There is a road that winds along the bank of the Guadiana from Alcoutim as far Alamo. Its route leads it through a landscape of harsh beauty softened by water, foliage and flowers. But the best way to discover the river's many delights is by boat. In Alcoutim Guerreiros do Rio it is possible to hire boats that can be taken either up or down Guadiana. Upstream from Alcoutim, watch out for the curious Rocha dos Livros (Rock of Books), a rock that looks like a shelf carved from stone, and the llha d'El Rei island. Downstream, the river follows an enchanting course around long, gentle curves dotted with the white houses of riverside villages.
Guerreiros do Rio
A former schoolhouse in the village of Guerreiros do Rio is now home to the River Museum. The museum offers a fascinating insight into the Guadiana river and its history, the ancient techniques used to catch fish on the river, the life of the fishermen and of the inhabitants of the surrounding hills.


Montinho das Laranjeiras
Archaeological excavations have uncovered a series of buildings that once formed a roman "villa" and an interesting Christian church built on a cruciform plan that scholars ascribe to the period of Byzantine rule over the south of Iberian Peninsula (6th/7th centuries). The site was occupied continuously, most probably as a "monasterium", until after the Christian reconquest in 13th century.
Álamo
The Roman presence in Álamo is evident from a roman "villa", investigated in the 19th century, and from the thick walls of the dam that used to block the progress of the Fornalha creek (a stretch approximately 40 meters (130 feet) long and six buttresses). This site also saw Visigothic and Moorish settlement, vestiges of which have survived to present day.
