Ria de Alvor is one of the best places for bird watching in west side of the Algarve.

It is also the perfect place for an early morning or late afternoon walk, alone, with family or a group of friends. The landscape and silence are excellent for recharging with good energy.

The diversity of habitats in a relatively small area, of about 1700 hectares, provides the observation of a great diversity of birds typical of estuaries and marshes, seabirds and birds associated with agricultural fields.

The site has a wooden walkway that offers easy access to much of the area.
