Exploring Nature

Alqueva lakeAndré Matos

Wild things blooming

Embark on your adventure right from the hotel entrance, where Barrocal's winding trails start, always revealing the beauty of nature with each passing season. Equipped with a net, explore the winter ponds, for example, and discover the tiny creatures that inhabit them. As you walk along the paths, you will see unique plants such as Venus's Navel sprouting from the rocks, wild mustard plants painting the fields in yellow, and gentle orchids blooming discreetly.

Gathering nature

As we walk, we stop to observe whatever the landscape reveals, unhurried, with no fixed destination. In the basket, we gather leaves or flowers while conversations flow about the birds inhabiting these lands: blackbirds, larks and many more. Nature sets the pace, always changing, always surprising.
