Alagoas Brancas
The Alagoas Brancas wetland, located near the city of Lagoa, is known primarily for its impressive wealth of birdlife, with around 143 species recorded. However, many other iconic species of fauna and flora have been recorded here, forming a complex ecological web. Its hydrogeology is also unique: the alluvial aquifer emerges at the surface, seasonally flooding this wetland with clear waters rich in minerals, which sustain a plant community that is unique in Portugal and extremely rare in the world.
