1. Let's see the Sagres Fortress, which stands strategically on the Sagres promontory, to control maritime navigation on the Atlantic-Mediterranean axis. Its foundation in the 15th century is associated with the figure of Infante D. Henrique. The fortress was built in the 15th century, during the period of Infante D. Henrique. It was badly damaged by the 1755 earthquake and was rebuilt at the end of that century, although in a very modified form. It was the subject of major renovation works in the 1960s, 1990s, and 2010s.

About Albufeira

Albufeira is a former fishing town on Portugal's Algarve coast, with whitewashed old streets, sandy coves below red cliffs and a long summer season.

Albufeira was a fishing town under Moorish rule, its name coming from the Arabic for a lagoon, and its old town still climbs a hill above the water in a tangle of whitewashed alleys and arches. A tunnel leads down to the Fishermen's Beach, where boats once landed their catch, and the clock tower and parish church stand in the centre.
