Descripción
Faia Brava is a 1000 hectare nature reserve located in northeastern Portugal, on either side of the Côa River, a tributary of the Douro.

Other cliff breeders that occur in the region are the Halcón Peregrino, Buitre Leonado, Búho Real, Cigüeña Negra and Cuervo Grande. Large raptors soaring the skyes, big amount of small song birds. Big chances of seeing rare bird species here.

Accesso
The tourist infrastructure is still limited. It is a wild not really known area, so there are no specific parking areas to visit the area. Best option is to park in in the small hamlet of Cidadelhe and explore the area on foot from there. It is allowed to wander through the area; more specific it is almost the only option since there are no real hiking paths.
