«A Pesca no Algarve Medieval» is a strong title that, by itself, arouses great curiosity as it is, and rightly, presuming that it brings new knowledge about a time that, for a long time, usually generates images that are too simplistic or inferred from later times. », writes Álvaro Garrido in the preface to the work.
«The written synthesis captures the reality of Algarve fisheries from the XNUMXth century, a remote period during which the Algarve was still the Gharb al-Andaluz, until the reign of King Manuel I, at the beginning of the XNUMXth century», he adds.
José Marcelino Castanheira, son and grandson of Algarvians, has been linked to the sea and fishing for forty years. He has a master's degree in History and Heritage – Algarve History variant and is a doctoral candidate in Heritage Studies at the University of Algarve.
Political militancy and associativism translate concerns with the community's experiences and impel it to active civic exercise and intervention. He is president of APOS – Association for the Defense and Enhancement of Cultural and Environmental Heritage of Olhão and collaborates regularly in the regional press.
The book was edited by Sul, Sol e Sal, and supported by DRCAlg, through the Support Program for the Edition of Thematic Works on the Algarve.
