点评:This trip left at 1 pm and came back at 4 pm after having stopped on Culatra for 90 minutes and then Armona for half an hour or so - the rest of the time being spent navigating the Ria Formosa. Our guide was Joao who spoke decent English and told us lots of interesting stuff about the stuff we saw. Joao took us to a restaurant, which turned out to be the clubhouse of a football club that plays in the lower reaches of the Algarve League. We both had grilled fish - bream for me and sea bass for my wife. It it difficult to put into words how beautiful and other worldly the Ria Formosa is. Once out of the port and navigating the channels between the sandbars, you can see people bent over with rakes, harvesting the shellfish for which the area is justifiably famous. At certain tide conditions it looks like these workers are standing on water. There are: bream and bass fish farms, tuna farms (I think) a protective reserve for the endangered local seahorse. These barrier islands are one of my favourite places in the world. On Culatra, 1,000 or so people live in 300 or so houses and yet it is all built on sand. On Armona beach we saw a lot of sea cucumbers. These looked like they had been marooned by a retreating tide and looked like they had a less than rosy future in front of them. On the boat ride, we saw: cormorants, white storks, herons, and quite a few ospreys. My advice: is just go.
翻译:这次旅行于下午 1 点出发,下午 4 点返回,在 Culatra 停留了 90 分钟,然后在 Armona 停留了半小时左右 - 其余时间都花在在 Ria Formosa 上航行。我们的导游是 Joao,他英语说得很好,并告诉我们很多关于我们所看到的东西的有趣的事情。若昂带我们去了一家餐厅,原来这是一家在阿尔加维联赛下游踢球的足球俱乐部的会所。我们都点了烤鱼——我吃的是鲷鱼,我妻子吃的是鲈鱼。很难用语言来形容 Ria Formosa 的美丽和超凡脱俗。一旦出了港口,穿过沙洲之间的河道,您就会看到人们弯腰拿着耙子,收获该地区名副其实的贝类。在某些潮汐条件下,这些工人看起来就像站在水面上。有:鳊鱼和鲈鱼养殖场、金枪鱼养殖场(我认为)是当地濒临灭绝的海马的保护区。这些障壁岛屿是世界上我最喜欢的地方之一。在 Culatra 上,约有 1,000 人住在 300 栋左右的房子里,但这些房子都是建在沙子上的。在阿莫纳海滩我们看到了很多海参。这些人看起来就像是被退潮的潮水困住了,而且看起来他们的未来并不乐观。在船上,我们看到了:鸬鹚、白鹳、苍鹭,还有不少鱼鹰。我的建议是:走吧。
