AVEIRO LAGOON

The Ria de Aveiro lagoon formation is a true paradise for nature lovers and, in particular, for seabird watchers.

This rich biodiversity provides an ideal habitat for several species of birds, which can be seen going about their daily activities: from the elegant flight of herons to the agile diving of gulls. The interconnection between the lagoons, salt canals and riverside vegetation provides a stunning setting where tranquillity meets vibrant wildlife.

For those seeking a moment of contemplation, the Ria de Aveiro serves as a refuge, inspiring admiration for its unique beauty and the diversity of its fauna, which contributes to the ecological richness of the region. It is an unmissable destination for those who wish to experience the harmony between man and nature.
