Azibo Reservoir Protected Landscape, Nature reserve in Macedo de Cavaleiros, Portugal.
The Azibo Protected Landscape spans 4,897 hectares, featuring a reservoir formed by three rivers surrounded by Mediterranean and Atlantic flora.
The construction of the Azibo dam started in the late 1970s to provide irrigation for 5,000 hectares in the Macedo de Cavaleiros valley.
Local students regularly participate in educational programs focused on observing the diverse flora and bird species within the protected landscape.
Two river beaches next to the reservoir offer swimming opportunities, while marked pedestrian paths allow exploration of the natural environment.
The reservoir houses a large population of Great Crested Grebes, which became the official symbol of this protected area.
