The potential of Ria Formosa will be the theme of a training meeting for local sports agents, scheduled for May 10, at the Centro Náutico da Praia de Faro, from 9:30 am. The training entitled “Knowledge of Ria Formosa” aims to provide these professionals with a set of information about the environment in which they carry out their activities on a daily basis.
