Like many promontories in
the southwest of other European countries, Sagres is shaven by the prevailing
wind. It is bare, blustery and bleak; yet it has a strange, severe and
haunting beauty. In the calm summer months, the stillness, tranquillity
and the friendly sparkling sea are but a welcome interlude before the winter
winds whistle across the empty plains, and the snarling seas thrash against
cliffs with awe inspiring ferocity. There are several sheltered sandy beaches.
Bird watching, wind-surfing and fishing are popular local pastimes. Have
a look at Lagos (33 Kms). It is a port with a new marina, but way back
in history many of Prince Henry’s early caravels were built here. His statue
stands in the square where the well-preserved Mercado dos Escravos (slave
market) it’s a timely reminder that not only gold, ivory and spices were
brought back from those newly-found lands across the seas. |

| A bust of Dom
Paio Perres Correia who died in 1275 can be seen on the corner of the town
hall. Its original economic reliance on the fishing industry has now passed
due to changed migration patterns of Tuna and further silting up
of the river Gilao. The population is in the region of 25,000 inhabitants
(municipality of Tavira) supporting a military base whilst the surrounding
area is still fairly rural and undeveloped. This is now changing due to
the demands of the tourist industry and opening of golf courses in the
near vicinity. The beach for this town lies past the salt pans and is reached
by a ferryboat that takes the visitor to the sand-bar island known as Ilha
de Tavira, part of the Ria Formosa. The island and beaches can also be
reached from the nearby footbridge in Santa Luzia.
In recent years the architecturally
attractive town has attracted visitors and house prices have increased
sharply. The development of many golf clubs close to the town has also
had an effect. |
