    Gravel riding

    The Lagoa dos Salgados near Albufeira contains tangible geological evidence of the devastating tsunami that followed the great earthquake of November 1, 1755.
    Showing Translation•
    About 15 minutes after the powerful undersea earthquake (with a magnitude of around 8.5), the first tsunami waves reached the coast of the Algarve and tore huge gaps in the coast, the lagoon is a consequence of this.

    Beautiful lagoon that can be explored on a circular path, partly over wooden walkways. During our visit today we were able to observe numerous ducks, seagulls and herons. In addition, there seems to be a fairly high fish population here.
