Fancy Going on an Algarve Guided Walking Tour - Tomorrow?

How about a guided walking tour in the Ria Formosa on Saturday the 17th of May?

This walk sounds really interesting as it is lead by biologist Filipe Moniz and the walk will be looking at the fauna and flora of the Ria. Those of you who know the Formosa will have an idea of what to expect, those of you who don´t will be in for a surprise, as it is teaming with wildlife, flowers, etc.
The Ria Formosa is a lagoon ecosystem running almost from Faro to Villa Real do Saint Antonio,
it is home to many fishermen and women, some of whom collect clams at low water, some farm Oysters and some fish.
Protected by a line of islands and sand banks the Ria is made up of marshes, channels and salt pans and is home to many birds, ducks, flamingos, etc.
What better way to discover this area than in the hands of a biologist?
It is advised that you wear comfortable shoes and suitable clothing and bring some bottled water, a snack, some suncream and a pen and paper and some binoculars if you have them.

This walk is free but has limited numbers, so it may be wise to call beforehand.

Meeting point : The old primary school in Cacela Velha
Meeting at : 09.30 May 17th
Contact no : 281.952.600
