I have been interested in birds since the age of 10 and birdwatching regularly since the age of 15. This lead me to be involved with the French partner of BirdLife International (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux) and I have worked in several Nature Reserves in France. I have been working as a guide since 2010 and have experience of birdwatching in various countries (France, Greece, USA, Tunisia, Djibouti, Portugal and Spain). I am also a licensed bird ringer in Portugal and punctually works for an environmental consultancy company, mainly focusing on raptor migration. I am also a regional reviewer for ebird (Brittany) and a regional coordinator for the Common Bird Census in Portugal I am fluent in French, English and Portuguese. I have been living and guiding in the Algarve since 2010. No

Overview of your Portimao tour

A town by the Arade river, close to Praia da Rocha, one of the most famous beached of the Algarve, come with me and discover Portimão! Portimão is the main city of the western Algarve and used to be one of the main fishing harbour for sardines. The museum is actually located in an old factory which used to can sardines. Besides being an important fishing and cruise harbour, Portimão is famous for its narrow streets and its animated marina. One side of the town is bordered by the Arade river going to Silves to the north. It was used by the vickings to invade the area. Let yourself be carried by the scents of the air, warmth of the sun and kindness of the people and discover the true nature of one of the most important cities of the Algarve. A small fishermen's village, an important wetland for birds and local seashell harvesters, come with me and discover Alvor! Let's explore the small streets of Alvor and walk to the castle and church which dominates the city and the Ria de Alvor.
