Birdwatching in the Algarve — The Seasonal Guide

The Algarve sits on a natural crossroad for birds.

Between the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and the route to Africa, everything seems to pass through here at some point: flamingos, raptors, tiny warblers that weigh less than a coin. The result is simple: there are birds all year, but the experience changes completely from season to season.
