Bird Watching
Ria Formosa Nature Park.
|
The most renowned nature reserve and birding site is the Parque Nacional do Ria Formosa in Eastern Algarve. The park covers an area of 18400 hectares of dunes, saltpans, little isles, sand banks and swamps between Cacela Velha and Anção.
The beaches of the islands of Faro, Armona, Culatra, Barreta and Tavira form a natural barrier to the ocean. The areas between the isles and the mainland, are of great importance for a wide range of breeding, passage and wintering birds. The abundance of salt-marshes, channels, areas of silt and small islands attract a wide variety of birds.
