The Algarve is not only cliffs. In the east, the Ria Formosa lagoon is a maze of channels, salt pans and barrier islands, home to flamingos and to clam farmers who still work by hand.
Inland, reservoirs such as Odelouca and Bravura offer still water for a picnic or a paddle. Both feel worlds away from the busier coast.
