«Taking the written words as a starting point to look at the landscape, to understand the history», is the proposal of the last pedestrian walk and interpretation of the landscape in Cacela and Vila Real de Santo António (VRSA) “Passos Contados”, scheduled for 7 November, a Sunday, and which will have as a guest the architect and poet José Carlos Barros.
On these tours, participants can count on a journey that ranges from “Ibn Darraj's poems about “the lily castles” to the “vegetable gardens and fields of fig trees” that were suspended in al-Idrisi's gaze at the beginning of the XNUMXth century .
On the way, we will talk about «the extinction of the municipality of Cacela to the depopulation of Monte Gordo by the beginning of the last quarter of the XNUMXth century", "from the perplexity of English travelers who discovered a newly built Villa", from Praça das Andorinhas by Vicente Campinas, Brito Camacho, José Eduardo Horta Correia, Hugo Cavaco and António Rosa Mendes.
