i want to properly explore this region and you get to come along out portugal with say what grade he will be a ah lay down,

wait a 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, now let's go, let's go. still it's fun. yeah . right 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'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 columbia and a hike along the west coast of the alga. 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 al garff miracles you'll young. 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 and official. you can find everything that was caught during the night, sardines and muscles, squid and tuna. mm. mm well i know that the l. garth and fishing,

they just belong together. but this law doesn't appeal to me at all. and i would like to smell with that looks good. this is my place to be for g hello. i'd like to handle something tasty from the region. then the sofa, his own. this one, the week which is usually available. want 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 umbrella smells pretty good. with our thing. 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. i got meaning the west. they route the region for almost 500 years and left their mark. however, all yellow only came into being in the 18th century when the congress had already left. but their architectural style characterizes the place to this day

b, r i so 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 religious basically everywhere in portugal. oscillation, beautifully painted, ceramic tiles have come to symbolized portugal. the word is era, they can all written and mean from little polish, the 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, and please now he barrow has been in not of the preservation of these works of urban art for the past 20 years, or even corners called the audio visual. we've been living with them day to day for 800 to 900 years,

a part of syria for 0 grizzers novice. 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 is constantly evolving will so and hasn't gotten mired down in the moorish influences as employers, years or more years. chris, the fabric, our son and our factory into this been turns out very special times founded in $1741.00 exposure goals, 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.

tire was mist cheaper than stone, and the do you to the volume of buildings being, being made at a time. they start to develop that 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 targets hand me, it is always possible with this natural clay that we used to leave air bubbles on the inside. and its magenta majority of the times. it's only possible to detect them using

a sound test because there is metallic sound that it tell us that this is a if we have a bottle, the song 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 clear. so a few decades ago there was a big wave of oscillation steps for the antique market for obama cabo and the quadrille. it nowadays people realize the 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 more, your spoke with your mom, your po, to goes famous, oscillations like open picture books. they tell stories from the past 500 years

now i would like to do that myself fainting 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, it's like these, wendy eats, say you don't go to a document, and then you have to address fan weight these annually. these papa like the, ah, okay, yes. see the dog. and then i know where 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 window here. so what you see, it's okay. first step,

done 1st death. yes. now you'll begin to painting. this is a special pigment, florida, as will age and for ceramic, it's a blue call, but it's very traditional in the title. the embark chill though. it's always hidden from the all. and this is a payment, it just the what the pigment you have to makes very well. and then you think let's see, the better if you begin in the center in the center. okay. yes, yes, bmw 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 because my hand is not so good right now. well the all day you can you like this benefit, this is coastal 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 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.

ah. right at the edge of all young is a unique nature. preserve here for most of the gone the best way to discover the natural park is to take a boat across the lagoon. my boat is right over there, or large well, well, so this is necessary, right? yeah. perfect, good. ah . my skippers name as well. he studies marine biology the water and sand things. this is all natural lagoons, 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. ah, 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 low 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. ah,

about 4 kilometers out from like the barrier island who laptop one of several islands that shield the goon landscape from the open sea. with no hotels, no cars, 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 sold to france. sylvia genia also makes the living from oyster farming. she wants to preserve the traditions of her island and has therefore founded in association.

ah, sylvia doesn't speak english. fortunately i do speak portuguese. oh hello. i'm lucas. part of it. as it, 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. basil, can you make a good living diginero calling grove. i see and i can help others you'll sizes if you help them to earn enough to be able to live from their work. especially the young people with the chavez was yet you add like i show them that it's possible to read from raising oyster here to the produce. 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, good merchandise and oyster and muscle growers have always lived here. you. you

object hybridized yourself at film there. if 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 the put even in the rear. at st. everybody works independently here. so everyone has their own fishing boat and their own duties. ask a few sill that's important for people to be happy if the form of the via a portfolio association aims to preserve this happening. i had to put in vida, we secure a good living conditions, such as running water and electricity. but we also how good work unconditional the supposed to be, that them base them look at he at, on the slide that, that of i. and in addition, our work is sustainable with physical, my you, it may be empty, the others will go out with 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 political, it's time for marie soon. okay, to put out to sea. he said course for his fishing grounds to nautical miles from the kindest there, like many other fishermen, he can bring up up to it that way. and on the 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 and it's a hard job on the sea takes all you've got to give. i know that he's got to fight high winds and heavy seas, but 45 year old mauricio, no gay era 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. i can swim back out again in time with the plastic myer putting traps. the traps like these not actual parts are in use more and more often. maricia blame them for the gradual decline and octopus in the region. gathered by 40 years ago there weren't any traps, only clay jugs law. 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 a thinkin awful. going on. the fisherman of santa lucia, the hub of octopuses 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 blake meal, but i buy them up until 2000 yolando. 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 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 will the see. my father 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 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 also growing here in the oligarchy . this has both advantages and disadvantages with the fruit of fashion generates 4 times more profit than the oranges and lemons, traditionally grown in the region. but the color conversation in mono cultures is criticized worldwide. above all, the large water consumption of the super fruit is problematic. i mean, and it's a class and from the history 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 also like eating and ample cargo is this is a problem in, 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, all the cato is a tropical fruit and it doesn't really belong here. the reservoir is half empty. is the cattle to blame? yes, think it's of 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 plants compliment to one another. that's a some plants bring water up while others make for less evaporation. that's very

important. when the monoculture is belong to the past, they're outdated. miss vasquez, what can i do as a consumer? if a like to eat of a carlos, but don't necessarily want to harm the environment, what can i personally do as soon as has asthma vinegar, awful cuddle 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. i continued 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

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 in nature. 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, sales 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,

moral and 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 blue. ah, ah, ah, with,

with, we've got to understand that globalization works. but he does not reach more than 30 percent of the world population. very simple and in the mediterranean as become a kind of great, our cost with us. business is business new temple. he'll fall as life fuel going to

one of the many believe life is better in europe, but that's just a fan of globalization. where do we stand in 15 minutes on d, w to the point strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives. western countries are accelerating this support for you . craig, i'm a big moves too heavy done. the time all stepan's doubled seems to have passed on to the point we are done for you. great. is the west joining the wall to the point with us on d. w. ah, you king was like a stepping point. you know, pilots you into that would you want to be finish your studies. now you have

positive control crane. you can choose to go back to somewhere else. currently, more people than ever on the move rolled wide in such a better life. so why, but i want to go back to 9 ga, like i don't have any reason school, but there's no reason that's loving for me. that yeah, believe something great is coming. very, very sad. and yeah, come with gene miller daughter, love. when least story in for my gosh. reliable nice from migraines, wherever they may be torture into the unknown. hey, this me to a foreign planet in the 16th century. it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route. a race lead to military interests, a race linked to political and military proceed. but it will certainly to men finance and adventure full of hardships, dangers,

and death. but jillions journey around the world starts january 19th on ah this is the w news coming to live from berlin. a fierce battle is under way for a town in eastern ukraine. heavy fighting is reported in solid dock, as ukrainian forces continue to put up resistance. also on the program, poland aims to send german made a leopard tanks to ukraine pressure.
