Lagoa

Lagoa es una pequeña ciudad de unos 20,000 habitantes que pertenece al distrito de Faro, en el Algarve Portugal. Se destaca por sus extensas playas de fina arena y Lagoa, además, está dividido en varias pedanías o freguesías, entre las que destaca Lagoa, su capital.
Most of the Algarve and to the north the neighbouring Alentejo district suffered by his hand. He died before a firing squad in 1838. The town of Lagoa has since grown as an administrative town for the area that once lived off its abundant agricultural products. Within the town are a number of long buildings with double doors that open into courtyards, off which are often more than just a large storeroom with a suitable dwelling.
The produce was dependent en la time of year and could be from carob beans to topsoil vegetable products. On the outskirts of the town is a co-operative for the owners of vineyards that still produce a full bodied red wine. The amount of wine produced has been seriously effected by the demise of vineyards as over recent years their owners have found a new pot of gold by selling their land as building plots. The parish church was inaugurated in 1814 but there is the older church, the Igreja de Misericórdia that dates from the middle of the 18th Century.
Another building of interest is the Convento do São José which was built in 1713 and survived the earthquake of 1755. It is now used by the local Council as a location for art exhibitions and has a small theatre for cultural events. Inside is a turn-box door which was in previous times used for passing unwanted babies to the nuns. The mother would place the baby and any small possessions on a shelf and communicate through a small aperture with the nun en la other side. The revolving door delivered the baby to the nuns without the mother having to disclose her identity. In Agosto of every year an important commercial and rural produce Fair named Fatacil is held in the town, exhibiting products from all over Portugal.
