on our website, d, w dot com ah ah, ah, ah, lay down wait a 2nd where 2nd now? now let's go with surfing is not that easy. the pros always make it look so simple, casual and relaxed. but for me it's

a real challenge. ah no, let's go, let's go. still it's fun. yeah, well, i'm riding away. yes, it was good way. sun, pleasant bought the temperature and above all great waves. these are the perfect conditions for learning to serve. i have 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 laughter

and a hike along the west coast of the elgar. ah, but 1st i'll take you to william in the south east of the elgar. oh 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 el garff medical, 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 too young to sell vegetables and fruit and flowers. it's pretty crowded here with an official you can find everything that was caught during the night, sardines and muscles, squid and tuna. mm hm. well, i know that the l gar and fishing they just belong together. but this call doesn't appeal to me at all. and i would like to smell with their looks good. this is my place to be. mm.

warranty. hello. i'd like to handle something tasty from the region. then he saw said that his oh, this one the week which is usually available. one to push the how much is a back? okay. fixed or is with elements ish today? las g fiegel in portuguese. a typical pastry from the algarve. avella 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. these r idle lays yours 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 religious basically everywhere in portugal of relations, beautifully painted, ceramic tiles have come to symbolized portugal. the word is era,

they can all written and mean little polish stuff. the technique originated in persia and was passed along across north africa to spain and poacher. 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 knowledge of the preservation of these works of urban for the past 20 years, or even going to school the idea. there's been living with them day to day for 800 to 900 years per video for a small office even today, keep producing new tile patterns. thumbs. i've got a like these murals here behind me. it's an art form that's constantly evolving and hasn't gotten meyer down in the morris influences of influences, maurice because the sun effect trains this been turns out very special time founded in $1741.00. it's portugal oldest child manufacturers

today. it's headed by the school too much. the oscillations still made by hand. the techniques at bailey changed in about 300 years from the time mass production began . and that was for a very pragmatic reason. yes, quick in 1755, destroyed the city of friesland, almost completely to rebuild the city. they had stone and tap at the time. time was much cheaper than stone and due due to the volume of buildings being being made at the time, they start to develop developing some designs to go over all the benefits of, of policemen. so this was the turn turn turning point on the 3 of the 3 big tiles. partial, ah, every relation starts with sleigh being pressed into a mouth. then it's a measure of weighting the tiles can take up to 2 months to dry. after that,

they fired at almost $1100.00 degrees celsius for 18 hours. so after the 1st tiring you have now the 1st quality control check, she's a very important phase because at the time it's hand me, it is always possible with this natural clay that we used to live air bubbles on the inside. and it's much of 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 it is a we have a battle. 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. yeah, almost regular. so a few decades ago, there was a big wave of oscillation steps for the antique market for obama cabo and the choir

you. it was a nowadays people realize the true importance of the tiles. was there more sensitive information campaigns of raised awareness today, people have greater respect for their own heritage. yours on where your spoke with her mom, you told to goes famous oscillations like open picture next. they tell stories from the past 500 years now i would like to do that myself painting as elijah, i booked to workshop with ceramic artists. bernadette machines. believe it. how does this work? well, it's very easy. this is the titles. it's like a, it's like these, wendy, eat, said he don't go to the account and then you have to transfer with these and leave

these proper like the, ah, okay. yes, he did a half and then i nowhere to paint. this is graffiti. and when we put in the guilty, disappear, okay. you 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 birthday. yes. now you'll begin to painting. this is a special pigment, florida as will age and 4. so any, it's a blue call, but it's very traditional in the title to eat in the embark chill though. it's always eating from the all. and this is a basement. it just the what the pigment you have to meet very well. and then you

think litzy 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 that that yeah, of course, but i think i shouldn't drink coffee in the morning. yes, my hand is not so good right now. well, do all day. you can do you like this 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 killed

a 24 hours later. this is what i've been waiting for with that. oh, this looks great. yeah. perfect. well, this is great team are great. yeah. perfect. thank you. thank you very much for showing me how to paint i of bye bye bye bye. ah. right at the edge of william is a unique nature preserve the here for almost a lagoon. the best way to discover the natural park is to take a boat across the lagoon. my boat is right over there. oh, laws. oh dear. so this is necessary, right?

yeah. perfect. good. ah, my skippers name is jewel. he studies marine biology, sea water and sandbanks. this is all natural lagoon channels and inlets combined to form 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 the whole day know, 3 hours before the low tide in 3 hours after the low side in the, in these pipe off clamp farms, you have clam farms and are ok a little bit under. so we have to wait more time. the news about 4 kilometers out from the lights, the barrier island laptop, one of several islands that shield to the goon landscape from the open sea. with no hotels, no card, no rush. ah,

this looks like the caribbean cruise, there is a long family, traditional laptop. almost everyone is a fisherman or shellfish farmer, their specialty. portuguese oyster. most shellfish are still to france. sylvia genia also makes being from oyster farming. she wants to preserve the traditions of her island and has therefore found it in association. sylvia doesn't speak english. fortunately. i do speak portuguese. oh hello. i'm lucas. it's part of it. as it, sylvia, do you like your job? my job isn't hard because i enjoy it, but if you liked the work, it's not hard. while it's easy. basil can you make a good living, diginero,

connie's, grandma, you see and i can help others you'll side as if you help them to earn enough to be able to live from their work. especially the young people felt what the chavez was yet you. i'd like i show them that it's possible to rent from raising oysters, easier to look good. so gloucester, what are you doing within the association? so think central objective, but our primary aim is to preserve the identity of this area. their school got a lot, but i will go to goodwood fishing, cold merchandise and oyster and muscle growers have always lived here. you. you object hebrew class 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 the ria, at st. everybody works independently here. so everyone has their own fishing boat and their own duties. ask if you feel that's important for people to be happy. yes . the form of the v. v. a put the association aimed to preserve this happening. i

had to put in vida, we secure a good living conditions, so such as running water and electricity the but we also how good work on condition was he supposed to be that them base them look at he at, on the flight that that of i and in addition, our work is sustainable with physical, my, you it, they the empty, the others will go out with the thank you with huge array of species found in here for most natural park also includes octopus. they are traditionally caught with clay jack's well, however, this is quite time consuming and that's why many fishermen and now using other techniques ah, ah, when night falls in southern portugal, it's time for maria. no guerra to put out to sea. he said course for his fishing grounds to nautical miles from the kindest then like many

other fishermen, he can bring up up to 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, i'm it, then it 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. guerra has dedicated himself to keeping up the tradition. he uses only the old 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 octopus that a shelter for the night inside. this method of fishing is fairer when this gets into the jug to sleep and can swim back out again in time with the plastic meyer pot 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. that me 540 years ago there weren't any traps. only clay jugs on that la. 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 have forgotten. the fisherman of santa lucia, the hub of octopus fishing in the l. gov. no, all about the different methods. 57 year old. you are keen 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 at the octopus goes out here and count it out again. one boy meal, but a by that up until 2000 it wandering. i was working with a glaze jogs with it. then i switched to fish traps because they're not so

exhausting to work with. it might go, fishing is easier yard and you simply catch more. my 20 that mauricio can hardly keep up with the trappers. they earn far more this night. once again, his catches relatively small, 50 octopus, 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 will the c, muffled, our hunger, and marine biologist from the university of al gov. warns against using plastic the oceans are already a wash in micro particles. she campaigns the greatest sustainability and awareness among fishermen through a project in the region. around 27 percent, the whole plastic that is in the fi come from last year's or 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 real garff may be a natural paradise, 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 color plantations. as an example, avocados have experienced a real boom in recent years, and to be honest, i like to eat them too. and as you can see, there also growing 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 conservation and mono cultures is criticized worldwide. above all, the large water consumption of the super fruit is problematic. i meet a net 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, and i have to be honest, and i also like eating and ample cargo. is this a problem? i'm one of the 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 bio diversity one instead of monoculture, slend different crops should be planted on one piece of ground is that's better for the soil, and the water management is better because the plans compliment to one another less of some plants bring water up while others make for less evaporation. that's very important. the mana cultures belong to the past. they're outdated, mis was cut. 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 that's my vinegar valcall, 1st of all, by fewer all the condos that's clear, and then maybe do without cosmetic products that use of a cato st. or alternate with other things. maybe eat another cato once a week and not 3 times

a day. i am to thank you. thank you. pleasure. if i continue to the west coast of the alga, lonely white, sandy beaches, steep cliffs. the russ 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 activities, for which it's too hot and summer. for example, hiking my hiking trail. the could you utilize pisca though it is. 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, it's pretty fee. pure and natured far away from the

cities. my destination is the cowboy g selby cinci the cape of st. vincent. the most southwestern point of mainland europe from this cape, the great portuguese explorers sail 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, moralist 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 alga. so 5, i fear next time somewhere else in europe with

blue. ah ah ah with oh i'm with works of compose alicia, prod, adult,

hitler obsession. oh has ever been better background music for megalomania. gross in von arts. 21. 0 d w. ah. do you like it? do you want it? okay, then buckle up, put the pedal to the metal. let's ride with read. in 60 minutes on d w. o. you become a ready news with

hackers and paralyzed me to your societies. ah, computers that else were you? and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go, of course, and for that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. oh, at of hitler, a murderous dictator driven by hatred and megalomania. ah. but he could be soothed by think shad wagner the german composer was famous for revolution.
