River Gilão

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gilão is a river in southern Portugal. It is approachable from the Atlantic Ocean, where it enters at the town of Tavira in the Algarve, 35 km east of Faro. The channel is clear, but a bit meandering. There is a large tide swing of about 9 feet. There are extensive mariculture clam beds and salt pans near the sea.
