Photographer’s Note

Hi dear TE friends

Place : *Salema

Region: Municipality- Vila do Bispo, / Parish – Budens (Algarve,south zone of Portugal).

Theme: Portugal /Algarve Chimneys (morning 7:28 am)
To see: map view, and Ws

The Algarve with its famous chimneys, of Arab type, therefore this region was busy for the Moorish up to 1249.
In the mid-12th century, the Moorish occupation ended: the "Al-Gharb" has been since then the kingdom of Algarve. It was not until the 13th century that the Portuguese finally secured the region against subsequent Moorish attempts to recapture the area. King Afonso III of Portugal started calling himself King of Portugal and Algarve.

* The picturesque Salema still maintains its ancient traditions of fishing activity. There is no barrier between the beach and the village, and small boats painted in bright colours, bearing quaint names such as God help me, rest on the sand close to the first houses. There are, however, good conditions for the visitor to stay due to the tourist equipment. By a quick search during summer, a great night entertainmenet can be revealed to people
. Beach of small dimensions, where it has conditions for the practical one of windsurf and diving. In the beach it has the possibility to rent gulls and I row it to boats. The waters are calm, are watched.

I hope you guys like it.
Best Regards, Filipe (Portugal)
