Boas Quintas
Quinta da Giesta and Fonte do Ouro are both highly representative of the traditional Portuguese landscape, characterised by small fragmented properties, but with a highly diversified land use – agriculture and forestry, low urbanisation and natural and semi-natural patches. Mostly composed by vineyards and pine forests, as well as, some small natural and semi-natural areas, this landscape is highly beneficial for the conservation of the Mediterranean biodiversity, since it promotes a moderate human pressure allowing the coexistence of humans, animals and the preservation of common rural habitats.
