Descrição
Alongside the River Guadiana between Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António, and covering an area of more than 2,000 hectares, lies a wetland area consisting of marshes, saltpans, inlets and rural areas of schist and red sandstone. It is the oldest nature reserve in Portugal, having been classed as such in 1975. A great place for birding. Among the bird species found here are Pernilongo, Alfaiate, Maçarico-de-bico-direito, Gaivina-de-bico-vermelho, Flamingo-comum, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira and Cegonha-branca, to name but a few. The characteristic vegetation of the marshes and the traditional saltpans results in a geometric patchwork of a landscape. Salt production is one of the main activities carried out in the marshes.
