Ria Formosa Natural Park

Ria Formosa Natural Park

Ria Formosa Natural Park is a fascinating network of lagoons and islands. Its wetlands, marshes and salt pans are home to many fascinating bird species. Look out for the Portuguese water dog – a long-haired fisherman’s friend that dives into the estuaries and catches fish caught in the nets.
