Vila do Conde
Description
It currently constitutes a place of refuge for more than a hundred species of birds, especially migratory birds. It is also a unique area on the northern Portuguese coast due to the biodiversity that it hosts in terms of flora, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, to which the set of temporary ponds in the dunes and some permanent ponds in the pine forest area contribute.
Created in 1957, the Ornithological Reserve of Mindelo was the first classified area in the country and, for decades, it was a unique space that marked the birth of the scientific study of birds and nature conservation in Portugal and in the world.
Included: panoramic view of the beaches to the south of the municipality
