4:32 am
conditions for learning to serve. i've come to the algarve in southern portugal because the winter in northern europe is just too cold for me, but i won't just soak up the sun and catch some waves. i want to properly explore this region and you get to come along. i'm taking a boat trip through the here for more than natural park. i visit the fishing island of cool letter and a hike along the west coast of the alga. ah, but 1st i'll take you to all young in the southeast of the allegory.
4:33 am
oh yeah, it is a fishing village and that's why you can find fish basically everywhere. well that's not an option for me as a vegetarian, but i'm hungry. so take a look at one of the most traditional market halls in the l. garff, medical's, julio. there's one hall only for fish and sea food, and there's another one for meat fruits and vegetables. and i think i'll find something there with on saturdays farmers from the surrounding villages come to help to sell vegetables and fruit and flowers. it's pretty crowded here with the fish. all you can find everything that was caught during the night, sardines and muscles, squid and tuna. mm. mm. well, i know that the l gar,
4:34 am
and fishing they just belong together. but this all doesn't appeal to me at all. and i would like to smell with bad looks good. this is my place to be poor g hello. i'd like to handle something tasty from the region. then the source about his own. this one, he regus is usually available. want to push the how much is a back. ok. ah 6 stars with elements ish. fidelis
4:35 am
g fiegel. in portuguese. a typical pastry from the algarve. umbrella. ah. smells pretty good. with our thu. let's face it. now i want to explore the old town. it looks a bit like marrakech or a tinge year in morocco. no wonder. in the 8th century, the arabs conquered the narrow strip of coast, which they called a god, meaning the west. they route the region for almost 500 years and left their mark. however, all yellow only came to being in the 18th century when the congress had already left. but their architectural style characterizes the place to this day.
4:36 am
these r idle lays youth ceramic tiles, there are tiles that are traditionally painted by hand. and there are tiles that are manufactured industrially like these here, and you can find as illegals, basically everywhere in portugal. oscillation is beautifully painted. ceramic tiles have come to symbolized portugal, the buddhist era. they can origin and mean little polish stuff. the technique originated in persia and was passed along across north africa to spain and portugal . the design has changed continuously over the years. now that can be found everywhere, especially in the capitalist. please now he barrow has been in charge of the preservation of these works of urban for the past 20 years, re record or school. dear, dear sir, we've been living with them day to day for 800 to 900 years. a part of syria for 0
4:37 am
grizzers lovers. even today, what is the key producing new tile patterns systems? i got a like these murals here behind me. oh my god. it's an art form that's constantly evolving and hasn't gotten mired down in the moorish influences was in foils, years or more years good. the fabric, her son and our factory, and lisbon turns out very special times. founded in 1741. it's portugal oldest tile manufacturers. today, it's headed by francisco too much. the oscillations are still made by hand. the techniques have barely changed in about 300 years from the time mass production began. and that was for a very pragmatic reason. p. f. quick in 1755, destroyed the city of fisma, almost completely to rebuild the city. they had stone and tire at the time.
4:38 am
tire was much cheaper than stone and review due to the volume of buildings being being made at a time. they start to develop, developing some designs to cover all of the facets of off lisbon. so this was the turner turn turning point on the 3 off the sir big tiles. in portugal, every oscillation starts with clay being pressed until a month. then it's a matter of waiting. the tiles can take up to 2 months to dry. after that, they're fired at almost $1100.00 degrees celsius for 18 hours. so after the 1st firing, you have now the 1st quality control check. she's a very important face because as the tired it's hand made, it is always possible with this natural clay that we use to leave air bubbles on the inside. and it's my job. the majority of the times, it's only possible to detect them using a sound test because the metallic sound that it tell us that this is
4:39 am
a we have a bottle. the sound is completely different. outside portugal, the united states is the main buyer for the tiles. aside from the many tours, of course, and unfortunately the little artworks often catch the eye of thieves as well. y'all was very little a few decades ago. there was a big wave of oceleto steps for the antique market for a warmer cabo and the quality inn. but nowadays people realized a true importance of the tiles. was there more sensitive information campaigns of raised awareness to day people have greater respect for their own heritage, yours on where your square go, put them on your po, to goes famous, oscillations like open picture books. they tell stories from the past 500 years
4:40 am
now i would like to do that myself fade thing, elijah. i booked to workshop with ceramic artist benedict machines. believe it. how does this work? well, it's very easy. this is the titles. it's like it's like these wendy eats, so you don't go to a document. and then you have to address fan with these and leave this book like the, ah, okay, yes, see the dog. and then i know where to paint. this is graffiti. and when we bought in the kelvin, cynthia, okay, it just stay the banking lead door with the pigment. is this okay? softly? yes. nice. the better i see the lines. the better is my paint of what it is. okay. first step. done 1st death.
4:41 am
yes. now you'll begin to painting. this is a special pigment, florida as layers, and for so any. it's a blue call, but it's very traditional in the title, in block chill though, it's so issued from the all and this is a pavement, it just the what the pigment you have to mix very well. and then you think let's see, the better if you begin in the center in the center. okay. yes, yes. blue this is for people who are very calm. so it's little difficult for me. it's very nice because if that that yeah, of course,
4:42 am
but i think i shouldn't drink coffee in the morning. yes, my hand is not so good right now. well the all day you can a benefit. this is close to perfect, but it's not perfect. so maybe you can help me out a bit. okay. yeah, a begin. and then it goes into the kiln. with 24 hours later. this is what i've been waiting for a oh, this looks great. yeah. perfect. well, this is great teamwork, right? yes. perfect, thank you. thank you very much for showing me the pain. bye bye bye. i
4:43 am
right at the edge of all young is a unique nature preserve here for most of the lagoon. the best way to discover the natural park is to take a boat across the lagoon. my boat is right over there or large. oh, well so this is necessary, right? yeah. perfect. good. ah, my skipper, his name is while he studies marine biology. the water in san things, this is all natural lagoons, channels and inlets combined to form
4:44 am
a 60 kilometer almost primeval natural, paradise. the here for more than a natural park at high tide, atlantic ocean water flows in and at low tide back out again. the result is a unique ecosystem for plants and thousands of animals that live here, or at least spend the winter here. who's the lagoon also provides a livelihood for many fishermen and muscle growers. you can see them pick up getting the clamps, someone catching that new can see that they are working. they have a whole day know, 3 hours before the low tide in 3 hours after the long side in the, in these pipe off. clam farms, you have clam farms and are okay a little bit under so we have to wait more time. me about 4 kilometers out
4:45 am
from like the barrier island who laptop, one of several islands that shield to the landscape from the open sea. with no, no cars, no rush. ah, this looks like the caribbean. there is a long family, traditional laptop. almost every one is a fisherman or shellfish farmer, their specialty portuguese oysters. most shellfish are sold to france. sylvia, but genia also makes a living from oyster farming. she wants to preserve the traditions of her island
4:46 am
and has therefore founded in association. sylvia doesn't speak english. fortunately, i do speak portuguese. oh, hello. i'm lucas for this is id. sylvia. do you like your job? my job isn't hard because i enjoy it. but if you like the work, it's not hard. while it's easy. you can you make a good living energy, naval connie's, w. c. s, and i can help others you'll sizes you help them to earn enough to be able to live from their work, especially the young people with the chavez, while yet you add, like i show them that it's possible to rent from raising oysters. here to look at it. so gloucester, what are you doing within the association? so think don't watch a tv, but our primary aim is to preserve the identity of this area. the school got a lot, but i will go to goodwood fishing, college merchandise and oyster and muscle growers have always lived here who you
4:47 am
object with. ask yourself, it's him there, as they like to enable the people here to keep on working at fishing and raising clams. so they'll be able to live from the ria in the future as well as you put a good even in that area. everybody works independently here, so everyone has their own fishing boat and their own duty escapades. so that's important for people to be happy. yes, the florida via a solution aimed to preserve this happening a little bit after we secure a good living conditions such as running water and electricity. but we also good work on condition will be the some base them look at on the slides the end. in addition, our work is sustainable with physical, my, you, you, they the last with the thank you with huge array of species found in here for most a natural park also includes octopus,
4:48 am
they are traditionally caught with clay ducks. well, however, this is quite time consuming and that's why many fishermen and now using other techniques i, when night falls in southern portugal, it's time for marie soon to get to put out to see he said course for his fishing grounds to nautical miles from the kindest then like many other fishermen, he can bring up up to it that way and a great grandfather's my grandfather and my father's fist for octopus. my brothers are also fishermen. you've got to have it in your blood. it's a hard job. he takes all you've got to give, i mean he's got to fight high winds and heavy seas, but 45 year old mauricio, no gara has dedicated himself to keeping up the tradition. he uses only the old
4:49 am
method, dropping clay jugs into the sea, all tethered to a line, a winch pulls the jugs up out of the water. some of them containing an occupants that are sold shelter for the night inside. this method of fishing is fairer gets into the jug to sleep and can swim back out again in time. with the plastic meyer poly traps. the traps like these not actual parts are in use more and more often. mauricio, blame them for the gradual decline in octopus in the region. yeah, the 40 years ago there weren't any traps, only clay jugs on that. my father told me that they used to be octopus the whole year round. ya to day, more and more, the jugs are being replaced by the traps locked and some nights. i hardly catch anything at all till may think enough about in the fisherman of santa lucia, the hub of octopus fishing in the l. gov. no, all about the different methods. 57 year olds,
4:50 am
rockin olivera decided to use the traps and set them with bait. he's looking for efficiency and convenience. he can even bring up the traps during the daytime or winter, but the octopus goes out here and can't get out again. one blue meal that i buy now up until 2000 it wandering. i was working with a play jogs with it. then i switch to fish traps because they're not so exhausting to work with. it might go fishing is easier and you simply catch more of my 20. that mauricio can hardly keep up with the trappers. they earn far more this night. once again, his catch is relatively small. 50 of us weighing about 70 kilos. octopus fishing is heading for a change. the clay jugs are steadily being replaced by plastic containers. but plastic means big problems for the sea. ma filed our hunger and marine
4:51 am
biologist from the university of al. gov, warns against using plastic the oceans are already a wash in micro particles. she campaigns for greater sustainability and awareness among fishermen through a project in the region around 27 percent. the whole plastic that is in the sea come from last year is our, our fishing devices. so there's, there's, there's a huge problem there with those, this bottom, the other fishing gears that get lost and are made of plastic material. sustainability is also highly important to maurice, in fishing with clay jugs may not be very profitable, but mauricio is optimistic and determined to stick with the old method. so they will be plenty of octopus in the sea. and on dinner plates in years to come, vo garff may be a natural paradise,
4:52 am
but it has its share of problems. periods of drought have left the rivers dry and the forests vulnerable to fire. agriculture use as much of the available water with of color plantations. as an example, avocados have experienced a real boom in recent years, and to be honest, i like to eat them to. and as you can see, there are also grown here in the oligarchy. this has both advantages and disadvantages. the fruit of fashion generates 4 times more profit than the oranges and lemons, traditionally grown in the region. but the color, cultivation and mono cultures is criticized worldwide. above all, the large water consumption of the super fruit is problematic. i meet and it's a class and from the his that archie association, she lives in the village of biology. sounds well and wants to prevent the spread of further of color plantation with her association. and it's, and it's,
4:53 am
it's going to have to be honest. and i also like eating and ample cargo. is this a problem in? i'm one of a cato or are you in moderation? no problem one, but the mono cultures are a problem, especially in a country that's actually very hot and dry because the cato is a tropical fruits and it doesn't really belong here. the reservoir is half empty. is the ever cattle to blame? yes, it's think it's, it says this because i'm, i think it's also the water management system as a whole. no action is taken when we've had less precipitation. they just use more water than they were using in the years before it's flat enough. but what exactly does your association propose? i've a manley greater biodiversity one instead of monoculture, slaton different crops should be planted on one piece of ground. that's better for the soil, and the water management is better because the plan's complement one. another less of some plants bring water up while others make for less evaporation. that's very
4:54 am
important. when the monet cultures belong to the past, they're outdated at thomas asked, what can i do as a consumer if i like to eat? because but don't necessarily want to harm the environment. what can i personally do as soon as has asthma vinegar for cuddled cows? first of all, by fewer av cardoso, that's clear. and then maybe do without cosmetic products that use of a coast or alternate with other things. maybe eat another carter once a week and not 3 times a day. i am to thank you. thank you. pleasure. but i continue to the west coast of the oligarchy. lonely, white, sandy beaches, steep cliffs. the rough atlantic the west coast is not just a bay thing, surfing, paradise. it's also great fun for outdoorsy people. the climate in the oligarchy is pretty mild and winter. it's just perfect for
4:55 am
activities for which it's too hot and summer. for example, hiking my hiking trail, the 3 you those fiscal. notice the path of the fisherman leads along the wild atlantic coast. i hike from north to south because the wind comes from the north and it pushes me a bit. oh, pretty steep. pure natured far away from the cities. my destination is the cowboy g. selby senshi the cape of st. vincent, the most southwestern point of mainland europe, from this cape, the great portuguese explorers sale towards africa and america in the 15th century . you could say that this is the spot where europe and that's the atlantic ocean. over there is north america and over there is south america. moreover,
4:56 am
that's quite far away with this spot is kind of magical and i don't think that there is a better place to and my little trip to the allegory, so by fear next time somewhere else in europe with new ah ah, ah, with,
