Dolphin watching - if you're lucky
When you're visiting the Alentejo region, you need a car to travel from lazy village to deadbeat town. Best starting point ofr your discovery of Alentejo is Lisbon and driving over the Vasco de Gama bridge towards the south and towards Alentejo. One of the things not so many people do, is going to the Reserva Natural Do Estuário Do Sado, a national park around the river Sado south of the capital. It is the home of storks, dolphins, flamingo's, ... . You can go on a boat river on the Sado and some dolphins if it's nice enough weather. It's a wonderful environment, with or without dolphins.
