Relaxed
walks on the shores of the Ria and the beach are
recommendable anytime. Although the variety of water birds, singing birds and
migratory birds changes during the year bird-watching is always
interesting here. Watch out in all the seasons for flamingos,
storks, egrets,
stilts, oystercatchers,
dunlins, cormorants and
others ! These are around most of the
time enjoying the magnificent surroundings. |

Biking
is and was always popular in the sunny Algarve. The "
Ecovia ", a bike path of 214 km
along the Coast from the Spanish border to Cabo S. Vicente is partly ready.
You may thus bike or walk car-free and enjoy the pure air and the
wonderful views as if you were playing golf one of the luxurious golf
courses around here. |

The
winds blow in a different way at Cabanas
From where blows the wind today ? Is it Levante
or Norte ? The southern wind from Morocco
Levante alternates continuously with the wind from the north, sometimes
within hours. If the 'Cabaneiros', say "hoje está Levante", you
will hear the surf of the sea behind the island as if you were standing
right on the beach.
But if they speak of the "Norte" you will hear the train passing
with great rattling and you may wake up thinking you are next to it,
although this train passes the railway bridge 1 km to the north of Cabanas.
This phenomenon of alternating winds, sometimes within moments, is quite
impressing.

Did you already see
the Shells Seakers looking for
eatable shells and crustacean (anybody can try)? They dig for them with their hoes in the mud during
low-tide, so that you may
certainly taste and enjoy eating conquilhas,
ameijoas,
berbigões ..... at Cabanas |
