Mira-Minde Polje
The Mira-Minde Polje is the largest polje in the region, measuring about 4 km in length and 1.8 km in width. It is a flat-bottomed depression, typical of limestone areas, where temporary springs and streams disappear underground, separating the Serra de Santo António from the Serra d’Aire. Certainly, one the most impressive geological icons of Estremadura Limestone Massif.
Its landscape changes with the seasons:
- Winter: The polje fills with water, forming a large temporary lake up to 8 meters deep. It provides habitat for aquatic birds such as mallards, moorhens, and coots.
- Summer: The water evaporates, revealing olive groves and attracting other bird species, including stonechats, meadow pipits, and short-toed snake eagles.
This seasonal transformation makes the Mira-Minde Polje a unique natural monument with rich biodiversity.
