It communicates through a channel with the Ria Formosa, which separates it from the Island of Faro and gives its name to the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
On the west side it faces the famous Quinta de Ludo, on the east side with another well-known farm called Quinta do Pontal and on the north and south sides with an extensive forest, which constitutes an important hunting reserve and is considered the 'lung' of the city of Faro.
Separating it from the forest, there is a road that largely surrounds it and that, after crossing Quinta do Ludo, connects it to Quinta do Lago, the real darling of the tourist urbanisations of the Algarve and Portugal, frequented and used as a holiday residence by high national and international personalities.
In a second surrounding circle and about 2 km away, in addition to the airport, the University of Algarve and the beach of Faro Island, there are several modern residential urbanisations, such as Quinta do Eucalipto and Monte Branco supported by elaborate recreational structures.
The Ria Formosa is a vast area of sand dunes, islands, estuaries, marshes, lake and forest areas that extends from Quinta do Ludo, which is part of the municipality of Loule, to the Guadiana River, which borders Portugal and Spain, in an extension of about 60 km. Olhao, Tavira and Vila Real de Santo Antonio, and encompasses the famous beaches and leisure areas, such as Faro beach, Farol Island beach, Armona Island beach, Tavira Island beach, and Monte Gordo beach.
The Ria Formosa, due to its hydrological and morphological characteristics, its geographical location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, which make it an area of confluence of warm and cold waters and on the balcony of the European continent facing the African continent, has always been an important nature reserve ensuring the reproduction of a wide variety of fish species of shellfish and migratory resident birds.
Considering the importance of this area to ensure the continuity of several unique species in the world and the balance of others of great economic and ecological interest, the Ria Formosa, which gives its name to the Ria Formosa Natural Park, was considered a World Heritage Site, which will ensure that vast areas, such as Quinta do Ludo, Quinta do Pontal and Quinta das Mouras, remain forever as authentic Paradises, only accessible to those who know how to actually appreciate the true gifts of Nature.
