On the road between Portimao and Monchique there is a high density of stork nests. Fortunately (for the birds and for us) you do not get very close - just fine.

A small, beautiful and varied tour, constant ups and downs, easy to drive even for inexperienced people, the road surface is sometimes not that great, in spring the stork colony is definitely a spectacle
