Portugal – the Algarve on dates to suit you

The Algarve is famous for its fine beaches, golf courses and beautiful coastline but the region’s attraction as a birdwatching destination has tended to be overlooked. However, it really does provide top-class birding at almost any time of the year. Its wonderful variety of habitats and geographical location attract a wealth of breeding and wintering species and at migration times it is an important stopover area for countless birds making their way to or from Africa.

Now we are able to offer short (5-day and 8-day) breaks, throughout the year at dates that you choose and at very affordable prices. You can fly from a regional airport and the minimum group size is only four people.

We offer a choice of hotels and itineraries. Stay either at the Estalagem Vista Real at Castro Marim or the Hotel Porta Nova in Tavira.

Based at Castro Marim, the 5-day and 8-day itineraries both include an excursion to the Baixo Alentejo to look for Great & Little Bustards, Black-bellied Sandgrouse and other special birds of the area depending on season.

Based in Tavira, the 5-day and 8-day excursions are centred in the Ria Formosa and other reserve areas around the Algarve coast.

Prices start at £375 plus flights.
