Quintassential Algarve Bird Watching Tour - APRIL 2009 SUNDAY 19th April 2009 – SUNDAY 26TH APRIL 2009 £600.000 GBP PER APARTMENT COTTAGE – SLEEPS 2 PEOPLE Group size - 6 plus leaders Why not treat yourself to a week of delightful spring birding in the Central Algarve at the Quintassential Apartment Cottages. It’s a trip that will take you off the tourist track to a land where White Storks and Hoopoes, Purple Swamphens and Azure-winged Magpies offer the prospect of a truly memorable week’s birding. An 8-day, single-centre birdwatching holiday to the Algarve, with daily excursions in search of southern Portugal’s resident and migrant birds. This tour has been specifically chosen to give you the chance of enjoying the very best of Algarvian winter/spring birding. This tour is not one designed to rack up a long list of species, the emphasis instead being on enjoying quality birdwatching, taking each day as it comes and getting to know the birds of southern Europe. If all this sounds attractive, then our eight-day holiday might well have been tailor-made for you. And all in the company of two guides whose love and enthusiasm for the region will make you long to return. The base is at the Quintassential Apartment Cottages in one of the one bedroom accommodations overlooking the market town of Loule in the Central Algarve.
