Archipielago Berlengas

The Berlengas archipelago is about 12 km from Cape Carvoeiro. The island of the Berlenga is full of mystery and beauty. It is a natural reserve for the growth of several species of birds and the preservation of various types of reptiles and other animals. You will also find some species of Portuguese plants and flowers and many caves and caves that penetrate the island of the Berlenga, in addition to a 17th century fort. The numerous grits that enter the rosaceous granite of the island are one of the greatest attractions, but their waters are abundant in fish, calm and transparent that remind the best known tropical islands that more and more tourists seem to captivate. And so they are a mandatory passage place for those who like tropical environments and have no time or means to leave the country. On the small beach of Carreiro do Monasterio, you can enjoy a few hours of sun during the summer or bathe in its peaceful and clean waters of transparent turquoise tones. If you want a little more privacy, there are several coves around the island. The fort of S. João Baptista, completed in 1666, is composed of a main building with twelve rooms or rooms that operated as service units (command house, troop barracks, Warehouses, kitchen and others) and eight more compartments inside the walls. An unlit corridor gives access to the various points of the structure.
