Historically, it was the centre for cork production worldwide but that industry has now gone. However,  a museum still exists telling the story and the mansions still stand – proof of the great prosperity.

Houses in this area are usually low rise, rural with land. Less touristy area than the coastal areas of the Algarve and retains a lot of it’s original charm and culture.
