Café shop Wc Free Parking Nice and cozy, but very small, don't expect to find a nice table in the shade on the hot summer days. Better for a spring walk Really worth the visit. The building is quite interesting and there is a nice café, but we most enjoyed the bird watching and walking around the salt fields. Bring binoculars if you have a pair! Birdwatching paradise in the Sado River estuary. When the tide goes out the wetlands become muddy with trapped fish that the birds feast on. The highlight is the wild flamingos. The Milho de maré is preserved skewing how they used the riding tide streets to turn the grist mill to grind grain. Nice coffeehouse. Old water mill converted to a museum. Good area to relax and enjoy some drinks and food/pastries. Birdwatching nearby and also by boat tour. Came here on the gastronomic festivity of the same name. Given it doubles as a religious ceremony, we arrived just as mass was undergoing so it was a bit head to get in but nothing irregular when festivities occur here. Food was served by the various sports and religious associations, restaurant/tapas style, and since it was still mass it still took around 150-30 minutes to get the food ready to serve which is very much understandable. Weather was also pretty mild lower them the usual 38ish°C (26°C at noon) and made it a rather enjoyable time. All in all festivities make this otherwise calm nature reserve a small hustle and bustle of mostly old people and booze one can easily get in if you know any of them, otherwise you're mostly here for the food at lunch and dinner and or some artist you like or association you support, otherwise you're not gonna enjoy it. Cute place for a nice little walk, wouldn't recommend being there for more than 2 hours, 2 hours is good enough to relax, watching the stunning views and have a good cup of coffee by the water. Recommend going when there are birds to sight see. Nice place transformed in a small museum to preserve the memory of its past, when it was important in mowing cereals by the use of tides flow… there is also a small cafe, with ideal atmosphere for a short rest stop! Overall highly recommended! You can observe the birds and if you see them you get points! :) hard to detect every one of them but if you are lucky you may see the Flamingos. Stuff is also really great :) Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
