“Cacela” is a case study that spans over different aspects of the Algarve: the mountains, the hills and the coastline. A history of a land marked by transhumance, this book is a voyage in which old texts, customs and models of spatial organisation are approached. It is a record of the physical manifestations of heritage which represent ways of inhabiting in different eras and reflect the values of memory and uniqueness of the Eastern Algarve.
