Por todo o país existem monumentos expectantes à espera da sua revalorização. Com características específicas e próprias da representação de uma época, torna-se fundamental preservar este tipo de património para o conhecimento da identidade de cada povo e região. A nossa investigação, confinada ao concelho de Aljezur, pretenderá chegar justamente ao objetivo deste trabalho, contribuindo com um raciocínio diferenciado sobre este tema que ainda não sentiu, de forma satisfatória e completa, uma reflexão coerente. Pretendemos demonstrar a conciliação do valor patrimonial existente com a necessidade de preservar e salvaguardar este testemunho histórico, capaz de revelar a nossa identidade e fazer com que a nossa herança cultural seja um dos pilares para o nosso conhecimento. O desenvolvimento do estudo em questão irá permitir pôr em relevo a dimensão histórica, eclesiástica, artística e religiosa no Concelho de Aljezur e, por outro lado, a forma como este tipo de património se encontra valorizado.

  • Unsere Strände in Der Algarve
    Unsere Strände in der Algarve An der Algarve finden Urlauber alles, was man zu einem besonderen Strandurlaub braucht. Der Atlantik lockt mit fantastischen Wellen, die Surfer das ganze Jahr über an. Besonders beliebt ist dafür die Region um Aljezur, denn dort können die spektakulären Wellen das ganze Jahr über geritten werden. Wer weiche Sandstrände bevorzugt, wird am ehesten an der Küste zwischen spanischer Grenze und Faro fündig. Die Vielfalt der Region lockt aber auch Abenteuer-Urlauber und Sonnenhungrige an. Egal, ob nun Erholung oder Action angesagt ist, hier werden alle gleichermaßen glücklich. Bei 300 Sonnentagen im Jahr ist das auch kein Wunder. Die Südküste der Algarve teilt sich in zwei Abschnitte: An der Westküste finden Sie die schroffen Felswände wie in Sagres und die malerischen Buchten. Teilweise sind sie ganz versteckt und nur schwer zu erreichen. Aber ein Besuch lohnt sich garantiert. An der östlichen Küste befinden sich hingegen die kilometerlangen und flachen Sandstrände. Schauen Sie selbst was Sie in Portugal entdecken möchten. Es gibt so viel zu sehen und so viele Strände, dass wir nun einige von der spanischen Grenze bis nach Odeceixe aufgelistet und beschrieben haben: Praia do Santo António: Nur noch der Fluss Rio Guadiana trennt Praia do Santo António von Spanien. Hier findet ihr ein Idyll, an dem ihr mit der puren Natur in Kontakt kommen könnt. Der kilometerlange Strand wird von einem grünen Dünenwald umgeben und verleiht diesem Ort ein zauberhaftes Ambiente. Obwohl der Strand nicht sehr touristisch ist, findet ihr hier eine Bar und einen Wassersportanbieter. Praia de Monte Gordo: In den Sommermonaten ist am weitläufigen Strand richtig viel los, dann strömen zahlreiche Familien aus Portugal und Spanien hierher, um ihre Sommerferien am milden Atlantik zu verbringen.

Le spiagge e le calette, dominate da falesie scoscese, ti offriranno vedute paradisiache, ma l'odore dell'oceano si intreccerà con gli aromi del timo e dell'eucalipto, in una grande varietà di flora e fauna mediterranea. Il nostro itinerario eviterà la costa sud, più turistica, per concentrarsi sulla meno conosciuta costa occidentale: camminerai verso sud, immergendoti nel Parco Naturale del "Sudoeste Alentejano de Costa Vicentina", in un paesaggio che varia dalle dune di sabbia e le scogliere rocciose della costa a boschi mediterranei e sentieri costellati di cespugli d'erica. Non mancheranno le occasioni di calarsi nello stile di vita portoghese, un inno a godersi la vita: dai bagni nell'oceano ai gustosi piatti di pesce fresco, accompagnati dal buon vino bianco locale. I consigli di SloWays: Segui le orme dei pellegrini sulla Rota Vicentina, lungo una delle coste meglio preservate d'Europa; Cammina circondato da un paesaggio meraviglioso, tra fari sul mare e cale rocciose dove nidificano le cicogne; Immergiti tra le onde della spiaggia di Bordeira a Carrapateira, un vero paradiso per i surfisti; Parla con gli abitanti locali in un bar di paese sorseggiando un caffè freddo.

  • Tours Around the Algarve
    BARLAVENTO BARLAVENTO Região de Turismo do Algarve SAGRES TOUR SAGRES SAGRES TOUR SAGRES The Algarve is the most westerly part of mainland Europe, the last harbouring place before entering the waters of the Atlantic, a region where cultures have mingled since time immemorial. Rotas & Caminhos do Algarve (Routes and Tours of the Algarve) aims to provide visitors with information to help them plan a stay full of powerful emotions, a passport to adventure, in which the magic of nature, excellent hospitality, the grandeur of the Algarve’s cultural heritage, but also those luxurious and cosmopolitan touches all come together. These will be tours which will lure you into different kinds of activity and adventure, on a challenge of discovery. The hundreds of beaches in the Algarve seduce people with their white sands and Atlantic waters, which sometimes surge in sheets of spray and sometimes break on the beaches in warm waves. These are places to relax during lively family holidays, places for high-energy sporting activity, or for quiet contemplation of romantic sunsets. Inland, there is unexplored countryside, with huge areas of nature reserves, where you can follow the majestic flight of eagles or the smooth gliding of the storks. Things that are always mentioned about the people of the Algarve are their hospitality and their prowess as story-tellers, that they are always ready to share experiences, and are open to CREDITS change and diversity.
