The Quinta do Lago Area
Real Estate:
Properties in Quinta do Lago are carefully integrated into the natural surroundings, either sea, lakeside or golf course views – sometimes all three – and are available only in limited numbers at any one time because of the staged release of land in accordance with the Quinta do Lago master plan. Spacious gardens, barbecue and swimming pool ensure that seclusion is maintained once your villa is built.
Wildlife:
Such a fragile balance is perhaps nowhere more poignant than in Ria Formosa, a 60 Km long system of sand-dune islands and tidal marshes that separate the mainland from the continuous advance of the ocean. It is not only a destination for airplanes but also an important stopover area during the migrations between Europe and Africa for thousands of birds, as it is on the migratory pathway of the Eastern Atlantic.
The Freshwater Marshes and Lakes:
Large freshwater lakes within the golf courses are important shelters and nesting places for the Purple Swamphen and other water birds.
Dry Land:
Large areas of umbrella pine woodland and its rich associated flora thrive is the favourite site for Iberian Magpies and Hoopoes among many other species.
