Many birdwatchers tour the Algarve in the South of Portugal to see hundreds of different bird species.

A number of spots in South Portugal by the coast are seen as revered areas to visit when looking to catch a glimpse of rare and beautiful birds. Holidaymakers often complete walking tours around that region of Portugal.
