    [name] => Portugal - Birding & Stargazing in Rural Alentejo
    [code] => PRT14
    [slug] => portugals-alentejo-dark-skies-rural-landscapes-and-birdlife
    [description] => 
Alentejo, the hinterland “beyond the Tagus River,” is one of Europe’s quiet areas, with a low human population amidst miles and miles of rolling arable plains, dotted with small villages with whitewashed houses, with here and there Cork Oak and olive groves. With negligible air pollution, the area is so famous for its dark skies that it was declared the world’s first ever “Starlight Tourism Destination”. On this holiday we spend four nights in Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve and make several visits to the local observatory. At this time of the year Alentejo also holds many ornithological delights, not least flocks of Great and Little Bustards, Cranes and Black-bellied Sandgrouse, as well as a range of raptors. As a bonus, we also spend a day birding the internationally important Tagus Estuary, with 120,000 wintering birds such as Avocets and Flamingoes.

                    [description] => 
The far south-western corner of Europe offers much for the naturalist, yet Portugal is a country so often overlooked in favour of the larger landmass of neighbouring Spain.


Southern Portugal has a rich culture and history, reflected in the fine Moorish architecture, excellent cuisine and wines. The near medieval subsistence agriculture of the Alentejo valleys, where ploughing with mules is the norm, provides a rich contrast to the 20th century bustle of the Algarve coast!

The Alentejo — Portuguese for ‘beyond the Tagus River’ — is a diverse and beautiful region of Iberia that not only supports a wealth of wonderful wildlife, but also boasts a rich history and culture. Clothed in rolling, arable plains dotted with Cork Oak and Olive trees, nature thrives in this sparsely populated landscape and light pollution is negligible. The Alentejo offers some of the darkest, and most starstudded, night skies in all of Europe and on this fascinating holiday, we will take in the region’s natural and human history by day, and enjoy some spectacular stargazing by night.


After a flight to Lisbon, our tour begins with time exploring the Tagus Estuary, which forms the southern boundary of Portugal’s capital and is one of Europe’s finest wetlands. We will be based here for two nights and enjoy a full day at the estuary, viewing its wintering birds such as Greater Flamingo, Marsh Harrier, Black-winged Stilt, Spoonbill, Glossy Ibis, Kentish and Golden Plovers, Hen Harrier, Hoopoe and Bluethroat. The sheer numbers of wintering birds here can be breathtaking, with up to 120,000 individuals present, including nearly a quarter of all of Europe’s Avocets.


Moving on, we will drive east through the Alentejo’s gentle landscapes, passing small villages of white-washed houses with their roofs of terracotta tiles. Away from these settlements, the open countryside is thinly populated and the night skies really are incredibly dark. In recognition of this, Alentejo’s Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve was the first site in the world to be declared a ‘Starlight Tourism Destination’, a certification supported by UNESCO. We will spend the next four nights within the dark sky reserve itself and enjoy several visits to a nearby observatory equipped with cutting-edge astronomical telescopes. We have timed our tours to coincide with the new moon and, assuming the weather is clear, the views out into space from here are truly outstanding. In the company of our Naturetrek guide and local astronomers, we will search the heavens for galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, multiple star systems and the planets that are visible at the time. This region of Portugal enjoys an average of 280 cloud-free nights per year, so we stand a very good chance of clear skies and an unobstructed view!


During the daylight hours we will search the nearby steppe for such birds as Great and Little Bustards, Common Crane, White Stork and Stone-curlew, while keeping an eye skywards for Spanish Imperial and Golden Eagles, Cinereous Vulture and Black-shouldered Kite. Other target birds that we will hope to encounter include Black-bellied Sandgrouse, Calandra Lark and Iberian Grey Shrike. Small flocks of the beautiful Iberian Magpie are commonly seen throughout the countryside. This species has been recently split from the Asian Azure-winged Magpie and is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. Birds such as Corn Buntings benefit from the low intensity farming that is still practised in the region and our tours in the early spring are sure to be enlivened by their ‘jangling keys’ song, a sound that has become all too rare these days in Britain.


During our time in the Alentejo we will stay in the comfortable Herdade Dom Pedro, near the pretty hilltop town of Terena; ‘Herdade’ being Portuguese for a large rural property or farm. Set in rolling hills speckled with Cork Oak and overlooking Terena’s 13th century castle, our base is surrounded by pastoral countryside crisscrossed with plenty of trails to explore and is blessed with the most wonderful sunsets; the perfect spot for a pre-dinner sundowner. Meals consist of typical, homecooked, Alentejo cuisine, prepared at the Herdade with fresh local ingredients.


We will not ignore the region’s rich culture and history on this holiday. This will include a visit to the beautiful, medieval, hilltop village of Monseraz where attractive whitewashed buildings are enclosed by fortress walls dating back to the year 1310, whilst on other days we may well see evidence of even older settlements in the form of prehistoric stone circles and other archaeological remains. The Alentejo is also noted for its wine, and there will be an opportunity to visit a local vineyard to sample some of Portugal’s excellent wines. After a thorough natural history, astronomical and cultural exploration of Alentejo we will return to Lisbon for our flight home.


As well as revealing the delights of the Alentejo’s diurnal wildlife and night skies, this tour will run in conjunction with ‘SPEA’ (BirdLife’s partner in Portugal), and thus help support its vital conservation work.

                                    [introduction] => For a holiday on the island of Pico, we recommend staying in the charming coastal town of Madalena, which is a superb base for whale-watching trips. The Hotel Caravelas offers a refreshing swimming pool and stylish, comfortable en suite rooms, as well as lovely sea views. It is well situated, less than a five-minute walk to the harbour and local cafés, and a 10 minute stroll into the main town.

                                    [introduction] => This 'Residencial' is located in a privileged spot with magnificent views over the Bay of Funchal.  Boasting 20 comfortable rooms, each with a private bathroom, the hotel also has a swimming pool and bar, but like many hotels in Madeira (that mostly come in the form of Quintas or Residentials), it has no restaurant and therefore only breakfast is served. A 25-minute stroll into town will allow guests to sample the delights of the local restaurants and cuisine. Bear in mind the walk back to the Residencial will be uphill, although taxis are available should you wish to ride back to the hotel each evening. The fare is around ten euros each way.

                                    [introduction] => Some might say the greatest attraction of Castelo Rodrigo is Casa da Cisterna, a small hotel of great charm. The hotel has been lovingly created by biologists Ana and Antonio, both of whom are heavily involved with the re-wildling at the nearby Faia Brava reserve, and have an incredible knowledge of the wildlife and habitat to be found there. Ana has permission to take guests out after dark to enjoy a private night time tour to see the famous rock engravings. The hotel itself has been created from a cluster of the citadel’s old houses and the ancient cistern which supplied the citadel with water. Today, the latter has been converted into a small swimming pool that sits within the hotel terrace and, like many of the rooms, enjoys spectacular views over the village and surrounding countryside. Rooms are very comfortable and tastefully decorated in a traditional style with modern flair.

Summary

The Alentejo — Portuguese for ‘beyond the Tagus River’ — is a diverse and beautiful region of Iberia that not only supports a wealth of wonderful wildlife, but also boasts a rich history and culture. Clothed in rolling, arable plains dotted with Cork Oak and Olive trees, nature thrives in this sparsely populated landscape and light pollution is negligible. The Alentejo offers some of the darkest, and most starstudded, night skies in all of Europe and on this fascinating holiday, we will take in the region’s natural and human history by day, and enjoy some spectacular stargazing by night.

After a flight to Lisbon, our tour begins with time exploring the Tagus Estuary, which forms the southern boundary of Portugal’s capital and is one of Europe’s finest wetlands. We will be based here for two nights and enjoy a full day at the estuary, viewing its wintering birds such as Greater Flamingo, Marsh Harrier, Black-winged Stilt, Spoonbill, Glossy Ibis, Kentish and Golden Plovers, Hen Harrier, Hoopoe and Bluethroat. The sheer numbers of wintering birds here can be breathtaking, with up to 120,000 individuals present, including nearly a quarter of all of Europe’s Avocets.

Moving on, we will drive east through the Alentejo’s gentle landscapes, passing small villages of white-washed houses with their roofs of terracotta tiles. Away from these settlements, the open countryside is thinly populated and the night skies really are incredibly dark. In recognition of this, Alentejo’s Alqueva Dark Sky Reserve was the first site in the world to be declared a ‘Starlight Tourism Destination’, a certification supported by UNESCO. We will spend the next four nights within the dark sky reserve itself and enjoy several visits to a nearby observatory equipped with cutting-edge astronomical telescopes. We have timed our tours to coincide with the new moon and, assuming the weather is clear, the views out into space from here are truly outstanding. In the company of our Naturetrek guide and local astronomers, we will search the heavens for galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, multiple star systems and the planets that are visible at the time. This region of Portugal enjoys an average of 280 cloud-free nights per year, so we stand a very good chance of clear skies and an unobstructed view!

During the daylight hours we will search the nearby steppe for such birds as Great and Little Bustards, Common Crane, White Stork and Stone-curlew, while keeping an eye skywards for Spanish Imperial and Golden Eagles, Cinereous Vulture and Black-shouldered Kite. Other target birds that we will hope to encounter include Black-bellied Sandgrouse, Calandra Lark and Iberian Grey Shrike. Small flocks of the beautiful Iberian Magpie are commonly seen throughout the countryside. This species has been recently split from the Asian Azure-winged Magpie and is endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. Birds such as Corn Buntings benefit from the low intensity farming that is still practised in the region and our tours in the early spring are sure to be enlivened by their ‘jangling keys’ song, a sound that has become all too rare these days in Britain.

During our time in the Alentejo we will stay in the comfortable Herdade Dom Pedro, near the pretty hilltop town of Terena; ‘Herdade’ being Portuguese for a large rural property or farm. Set in rolling hills speckled with Cork Oak and overlooking Terena’s 13th century castle, our base is surrounded by pastoral countryside crisscrossed with plenty of trails to explore and is blessed with the most wonderful sunsets; the perfect spot for a pre-dinner sundowner. Meals consist of typical, homecooked, Alentejo cuisine, prepared at the Herdade with fresh local ingredients.

We will not ignore the region’s rich culture and history on this holiday. This will include a visit to the beautiful, medieval, hilltop village of Monseraz where attractive whitewashed buildings are enclosed by fortress walls dating back to the year 1310, whilst on other days we may well see evidence of even older settlements in the form of prehistoric stone circles and other archaeological remains. The Alentejo is also noted for its wine, and there will be an opportunity to visit a local vineyard to sample some of Portugal’s excellent wines. After a thorough natural history, astronomical and cultural exploration of Alentejo we will return to Lisbon for our flight home.

As well as revealing the delights of the Alentejo’s diurnal wildlife and night skies, this tour will run in conjunction with ‘SPEA’ (BirdLife’s partner in Portugal), and thus help support its vital conservation work.

M.B., Devon, Jan 25, Mar 2025

Star-gazing and birdwatching in Portugal was a fabulous experience. Great sightings closer to hand than I could have imagined. Our tour guides David and Lara were perfection, warm and friendly with outstanding knowledge and expertise. Naturetrek is a wonderful tour company. I feel like I know them all even though I've never met them. Great tours, great people, great experiences.
