A discreet gem of the Algarve, Mesquita Beach reveals a spectacular landscape where marine erosion has carved arches and columns out of golden limestone.

Located near the famous Benagil Cave, Mesquita offers a much more rugged and wild atmosphere. Its steep cliffs, shaped by the wind and sea spray, bear witness to the patient strength of the Atlantic. At low tide, the receding water reveals secret passages between the rocks and natural pools where the stone seems to dissolve into the turquoise hues of the ocean.

This virtual tour allows you to immerse yourself at the foot of these stone giants and contemplate the fine geological layers that tell millions of years of sedimentary history.

Abyssinian wolves feed almost exclusively on rodents. Their habitat is limited to the high plateaus and mountains of Ethiopia, where rodent density is particularly high. In the Bale Mountains, where this photo was taken, up to 6,000 rodents can be found per square kilometer.

This diet has shaped their behavior: unlike other wolf species that hunt large prey in packs, Abyssinian wolves hunt alone.
Yet each morning, before spreading out to search for food, clan members carry out a joint patrol across their territory.

On this particular day, six wolves from the Meguiti clan were roaming their land, ensuring no intruders had trespassed.
