«In autumn, the white-fronted redstarts that nest in our country are joined by those that come from the north – they all head to Africa to spend the winter, and for many the route passes through Sagres. To witness this spectacle, hundreds of bird watchers also converge at this location, joining in this festival that is already a regular fixture on the calendar of many families», concludes the municipality.
