Ria Formosa

 The Ria Formosa Nature Park is an area that is characterized by natural, semi-natural and humanized landscapes that are classified as national interest and are an example of harmonious integration of human activity and Nature.

The importance of Ria Formosa in the lifecycle of numerous species is worth mentioning, especially as a reproduction area. The preservation of the toad hole depends on the abundance of fish, molluscs and crustaceans in coastal waters where people take a part of their sustenance.

Because it is a part of a humid area of international importance, the Ria Formosa Natural Park has a privileged status regarding its location and terms of protection. Its natural characteristics along with the geographical location have made it an important area for avifauna.
In addition, regarding botany, it is equally important especially due to the vegetation dune and toad-hole areas.

It is an exuberant surrounding with a unique beauty where you may enjoy hours of relaxation within nature; where you may choose between the magnificent view over the never-ending blue horizon, a dip in the ocean, a didactic stroll though the islands, bird watching or to contemplate a fabulous sunset.
