Algarve villas the gateway to Ria Formosa national park |
Holidaymakers to the south of Portugal keen to take a break from their Algarve villas need look no further than the magnificent Ria Formosa Nature Reserve.
Stretching some 60 kilometres along the pristine coastline, the national park is one of the most bio-diverse in Europe.
In particular, the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, and the estuary it encompasses, serves as a major draw from birdwatchers from across the world, with thousands opting to leave behind the comfort of their Algarve villa and hike the park's many trails in the hope of spotting the likes of the little bittern, the stone curlew or the white stork.
As with the rest of the Algarve, the reserve is a perfect tourist destination no matter what the month, with dozens of the rarest species in the world opting to use it as a stopping-off point on their annual migrations at varying times of the year.
Portugal's coastline is also a perfect place to spot dolphins, making rental villas in the country the perfect holiday choice for nature-lovers and comfort-seekers alike.
