Tips from the Community
The Tagus Estuary Nature Reserve (RNET) is located in an area of high natural richness and diversity. Covering approximately 14,415 hectares, it is integrated into the largest wetland area in Portugal – the Tagus Estuary, including estuarine waters, sandbanks, salt pans, agricultural land, and cork oak forests. The connectivity of these habitats ensures the presence of a great diversity of living beings, such as mollusks, crustaceans, and small amphibians. It is also a nursery for various species of marine fish and a very important ecosystem for migratory fish. The estuary is also of great importance to aquatic birds, being one of the places with the most wintering birds in Europe.

The Loures Riverside Trail is made up of six kilometres of wooden walkways. It starts at the Trancão cycle-pedestrian bridge, which was opened at the end of July, and ends at the gates of the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira, where the Tagus Estuary Linear Trail begins (of which only a section remains to be built in Alverca). Along the six kilometres, there are several shaded and resting areas, with benches, and some birdwatching spots. There are also exits, which will allow, for example, to connect the walkways to the future Loures riverside green park, which will be built on the land that hosted the World Youth Day and which should be ready by the end of next year.
