Water Cave

Highlight • Cave

Water is a scarce resource in the Algarve, so over time different ways of collecting rainwater have been found. In this region many small water catchment basins have been created, or small wells are present. One of the less common containment methods is this cave, only a few of which are nearby

Water Reservoir and Ruins

Highlight • Structure

An example of how rainwater is stored in the region. By constructing a small dam in a watercourse, a reservoir is created. The water was used for agriculture and forestry, which is slowly disappearing due to depopulation.
