What to expect
Near Silves a conservation programme is saving the Iberian lynx from extinction, and we go to see it, without disturbing the animals. We combine the lynx spotting with a hike in the hills of Silves and around the Arade reservoir, and tell you about the area, the wildlife we come across, the programme and the life of the lynx.
