The Mindelo Ornithological Reserve is part of the Protected Coastal Landscape, first created in Portugal in 1957. The emergence of such territories was caused by the desire to ease urban pressure on the coast and preserve the population of various bird and mammal species. For those who want to walk deep into the coast, there are special wooden decks. And for lovers of the ocean and leisurely walks - nature has created the perfect balance of water, air and sand.. .
