Roadside Sculptures – Reserva Natural do Sapal de Castro Marim e Vila Real de Santo António

Highlight • Monument

Very interesting figures are placed along the street and pedestrian path.
They are probably intended to encourage people to move more on foot and by bike.

Flamingos in the Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António Salt Marsh Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

A large area is divided into plots, which is filled with salt water.
These shallow areas contain plenty of food for the migratory birds.
Many species of birds have found their habitat in these waters, including the shy flamingos.
