The Seixe, Odelouca and Vascão streams determine the region’s northern boundaries; to the east, the River Guadiana delimits the border with Spain; to the west, the luminous southern sun sets amid mists of the wild and cold ocean; to the south, the Atlantic waters soften and become warm, cradled by the proximity of the Mediterranean, sheltered from the northern winds and swells.
