Objectives, activities and expected results

The Vanellus project aims to economically enhance the nature tourism component and, in particular, ornithological tourism. Bringing added value to the interior regions of Portugal and especially the Alentejo. Creating an alternative to “Sol e Praia” tourism and increasing the length of stay of tourists in these low-density territories.

It is foreseen the elaboration of “tours” for observation and photography of birds and other wild fauna and flora of the Alentejo region and in particular of Castro Verde, as well as a network of photographic shelters will be created in partnership with local owners to provide photographs of hardest species to photograph.
