Location

The Andalusian Garden is located in Castro Marim, within the Quinta da Cerca urbanization. This location provides it with a tranquil and serene environment, set within a residential area. The garden discretely blends into the local landscape, offering an accessible and peaceful space for visitors, away from the usual hustle and bustle.

A Moorish-Inspired Retreat

This garden was conceived with clear inspiration from the traditional patios and gardens of Andalusia, a region neighboring Portugal. Its design reflects the richness of the Moorish heritage, visible in the architectural details and the organization of its spaces. Elements such as the careful use of colorful azulejos, the constant presence of water, and the selection of characteristic plant species create an atmosphere reminiscent of the gardens of southern Spain, where freshness and ornamental beauty are highly valued.

The Serenity of Water and Vegetation

In the Andalusian Garden, water plays a central role, flowing in small channels and fountains that contribute to an environment of calm and contemplation. The gentle sound of running water is an invitation to tranquility. The vegetation, with the presence of orange trees, palm trees, and other Mediterranean species, offers shade and pleasant aromas, especially during the warmer months. This harmonious combination of natural and built elements creates an ideal space for a leisurely stroll and to appreciate the tranquility of the place.
