Faia Brava

Faia Brava (Reserva da Faia Brava) is a natural reserve in northern Portugal. It is the first privately owned natural reserve in the country. The reserve covers 856.87 hectares (2,117.4 acres). Bordered by the Côa River, it is part of the Archeological Park of the Côa Valley, a UNESCO world heritage site. Given its strong biodiversity, Faia Brava reserve is identified as IBA (Birdlife's International Important Bird Area), and is also one of the Natura 2000 areas (network of nature protection areas in the territory of the European Union).
