This humid zone, known as the Marshland Nature Reserve of Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António, was the third to be declared a Nature Reserve in Portugal. Birds such as the white stork, flamingo and the black-winged stilt can be seen throughout the year. Following the itinerary proposed by the Interpretation Centre one finds an Algarve far from the bustle of the beaches, where the silence is only disturbed by bird cries. The trails lead to the salt pans that occupy around one third of the protected area. Salt continues to be produced here, in accordance with artisanal processes.
