Discovering Campina de Faro, Portugal

This is part of the coastal plain of the Algarve, with an ancient and continuous human occupation. Situated on an aquifer and with fertile soils, it is still, despite urban-touristic pressure, a living testimony of the historical interdependence between the cities and the food production space (gardens, orchards) based on traditional irrigation systems (norias, aqueducts, tanks, canals) and still place for the local communities to continue intagible heritage traditions like dance and cuisine.
