What a real treat to experience the beautiful flora and fauna of the Ria Formosa during my trip to Quinta do Lago, Portugal. It is a protected area carrying the status of 'Natural Park' and was established by Decree Law in 1987. Click here
Quinta do Lago is located in the heart of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve; it's a lagoon separated from the sea by a coastal dune system, which is broken up by various natural and artificial inlets. It includes a narrow strip of land and a series of coastal dunes running almost parallel to the mainland, formed by peninsulas and sandy barrier-islands which serve to protect the salt marshes, channel and islets.
Please enjoy these photographs taken during my trip!
