ah ah, lay down wait a 2nd where 2nd now? now let go. oh oh, surfing is not that easy. the pros always make it look so simple, casual and relaxed. but for me it's a real challenge. ah no. oh still it's fun. yeah. right away? yes, it was. good way. sun pleasant bought the temperature and above all great waves. these are the perfect conditions for learning to serve. i have come to the algarve in southern portugal because the winter in northern europe is just too cold for me, but i won't just soak up the sun and catch some waves. i want to properly explore this region and you get to come along. i'm taking a boat trip through the here for more than natural park. i visit the fishing island of cool letter and a hike along the west coast of the elgar. ah, but 1st i'll take you to all young in the south east of the allegory. oh yo is a fishing village and that's why you can find fish basically everywhere. well that's not an option for me as a vegetarian, but i'm hungry. so take a look at one of the most traditional market halls in the l. garff medical, julio. there's one hall only for fish and sea food, and there's another one for meat fruits and vegetables. and i think i'll find something there with on saturdays. farmers from the surrounding villages come too young to sell vegetables and fruit and flowers. it's pretty crowded here with an official you can find everything that was caught during the night, sardines and muscles, squid and tuna. mm hm. well i know that the l. garth and fishing, they just belong together. but this call doesn't appeal to me at all. and i would like to smell with bad looks good. this is my place to be for g. hello. i'd like to handle something tasty from the region. then he saw said that his own this one week which is huge kayla, want to push the how much is a back. ok. ah 6 stars with elements h trailers, g fiegel in portuguese. a typical pastry from the algarve umbrella. smells pretty good. are good. said stacy, now i want to explore the old town. it looks a bit like marrakech or a tinge year in morocco. no wonder i got meaning the west. they wrote the region for almost 500 years and left their mark. however, all yellow only came to being in the 18th century when the congress had already left. but their architectural style characterizes the place to this day these are eyes all lays yours ceramic tiles. there are tiles that are traditionally painted by hand, and there are tiles that are manufactured industrially like these here. and you can find as religious basically everywhere in portugal. oscillation, beautifully painted, ceramic tiles have come to symbolized portugal. the word is era, they can all written and mean little polish stuff. the technique originated in persia and was passed along across north africa to spain and portugal. the design has changed continuously over the years. now that can be found everywhere, especially in the capitalist. please now he, beryl has been in charge of the preservation of these works of urban art for the past 20 years, re record or school, the audio visual we've been living with them day to day for 800 to 900 years. the procedure to your for 0 grizzers novice even today, what is there? keep producing new tile patterns and stumps. i got a like these minerals here behind me, ill model. it's an art form that is constantly evolving will so and hasn't gotten mired down in the morris influences was employ upstairs. maurice good the fabric, her son ona factory into this been turns out very special times in 1741. it's portugal oldest child manufacturer today, it's headed by the school too much the as relations are still made by hand. the techniques have bailey changed in about 300 years from the time mass production began. and that was for a very pragmatic reason. yes, quick in 1755, destroyed the city of friesland, almost completely to rebuild the city. they had stone and tap at the time. time was much cheaper than stone and due due to the volume of buildings being being made at the time, they start to develop, developing some designs to cover all the the fates of, of lisbon. so this was the turn turn turning point on the 3 of the 3 big tiles, impartial, ah, every of relation starts with clay being pressed into a mouth. then it's a measure of weighting the tiles can take up to 2 months to dry. after that, they fired at almost $1100.00 degrees celsius for 18 hours. so after the 1st tiring you have now the 1st quality control check, she's a very important phase because at the time it's handmaid, it is always possible with this natural clay that we use to leave air bubbles on the inside. and the mature, the majority of the times, it's only possible to detect them using its own test because the metallic sound that you tell us that this is a if we have a bottle, the sand is completely different. outside portugal, the united states is the main buyer for the tiles. aside from the many tours, of course, and unfortunately the little artworks often catch the eye of fees as well. he almost reckless or a few decades ago, there was a big wave of oscillation of steps for the antique market. for obama cabo and the quadrille. he was a nowadays people realize the true importance of the tiles. was there more sensitive information campaigns of raised awareness to day people have greater respect for their own heritage? yours on where your spoke with the mom. you told to goes famous oscillations like open picture books. they tell stories from the past 500 years now i would like to do that myself, fainting, elijah, i booked to workshop with ceramic artists. bernadette machines believe it. how does this work? well, it's very easy. this is the titles. it's like it's like these, wendy, eat so you don't go to the account and then you have to transfer with these annually. these papa like the, ah, okay, yes. see the dog. and then i know where to paint. this is graffiti. and when we bought in the guilty disappear, okay. you just stay the banking lead door with the pavement. is this okay? softly? yes. nice. the better i see the lines, the better is my paint wall and okay, so what you think it's okay? first step, done 1st death. yes. now you begin to think this is a special pigment, florida. as a layer and for ceramic, it's a blue call, but it's very traditional in the title. the embark chill though. it's always eaten from the all. and this is a pavement, it just it what the pigment you have to makes very well. and then you think let's see, the better if you begin in the center in the center. okay. yes, yes, blue this is for people who are very calm. so it's little difficult for me. it's very nice because of that. yeah, of course, but i think i shouldn't drink coffee in the morning. yes, my hand is not so good right now. well the all day you can a benefit. this is close to perfect, but it's not perfect. so maybe you can help me out a bit. okay. yeah, a begin. and then it goes into the killed a 24 hours later. this is what i've been waiting for a data. oh, this looks great. yeah. perfect. well this is great team work, right? yeah. perfect. thank you. thank you very much for showing me the pain. bye bye bye . i right at the edge of all young is a unique nature preserve here for most lagoon. the best way to discover the natural park is to take a boat across the lagoon. my boat is right over there. all are well when he so this is necessary, right? yeah. perfect, good. ah, my skipper, his name is while he studies marine biology the water ends and things. this is all natural lagoons, channels and inlets combined to form a 60 kilometer almost primeval natural, paradise. the here for more than natural park, at high tide, atlantic ocean water flows in and at low tide back out again. the result is a unique ecosystem for plants and thousands of animals that live here, or at least spend the winter here. who's the lagoon also provides a livelihood for many fishermen and muscle growers. you can see them pick up getting the clamps, someone catch that new can see that they are working. they have a whole day know, 3 hours before the low tide in 3 hours after the low side in the, in these pipe off clamp farms, you have clam farms and are okay a little bit under. so we have to wait more time. me about 4 kilometers out from like the barrier island to laptop, one of several islands that shields the goon landscape from the open sea. with no hope tales, no cars, no rush. the ah, this looks like the caribbean. there is a long family, traditional laptop, almost everyone is a fisherman or shellfish farm their specialty, portuguese oysters. most shellfish are sold to france. sylvia, but gina also makes a living from oyster farming. she wants to preserve the traditions of her island and has therefore found it in association. sylvia doesn't speak english. fortunately. i do speak portuguese. oh hello. i'm lucas. part of it. as it, sylvia, do you like your job? my job isn't hard because i enjoy it. but if you like the work, it's not hard. while it's easy. you can you make a good living diginero calling to provide you see, and i can help others you'll side as if you help them to earn enough to be able to live from their work. especially the young people with the chavez, while yet you add like i show them, that it's possible to rent from raising oysters here to look at it. so gloucester, what are you doing within the association? so think central object eve, but our primary aim is to preserve the identity of this area. their school got a lot, but i will go to goodwood fishing, good merchandise and oyster and muscle growers have always lived here who you object with. ask yourself, it's him there, as they like to enable the people here to keep on working at fishing and raising clams. so they'll be able to live from the ria in the future as well. she put a good even in the rear. at st. everybody works independently here, so everyone has their own fishing boat and their own duties. ask a few sill that's important for people to be happy. yes, the watermark via aim for the association aim to preserve this happening a little bit after we secure a good living conditions such as running water and electricity. but we also how good work on condition would be that the base them look at on the slides. the end, in addition, our work is sustainable. what's feasible, may you do that with the thank you with huge array of species found in here for most natural park also includes octopus. they are traditionally caught with clay jack's well. however, this is quite time consuming and that's why many fishermen and now using other techniques ah, when night falls in southern political its time full mauricio or gara to put out to sea. he sets course for his fishing grounds, 2 nautical miles from the coast. there like many other fishermen, he can bring up of us maybe that way about me. i'm a great grandfather, my grandfather and my father. fist for octopus. my brothers are also fishermen. you . yeah, you've gotta have it in your blood. it's a hard job. i'm it in the see takes all you've got to give me luda. he's got to fight high winds and heavy seas. but 45 year old mauricio nocera has dedicated himself to keeping up the tradition. he uses only the old method, dropping clay jugs into the sea, all tended to align a winch pulls the jugs up out of the water. some of them containing an octopus that a suit sheltered for the night inside. mclaughlin, this method of fishing is fairer when, but by the ot thomas gets into the jug to sleep and can swim back out again in the time. yeah. them with the plastic or minor pot tramps. but traps like these not actual parts are in use more and more often. mauricio. blame them for the gradual decline in octopus in the region. yeah, the b. 540 years ago there weren't any traps. only clay jugs. well, i'm not a law. my father told me that they used to be octopus, the whole year round, so like ya to day more and more, the jugs are being replaced by the traps locked and some nights. i hardly catch anything at all till may. thank you. no problem. the fisherman of santa lucia, the hub of octopus fishing in the l. gov. no, all about the different methods. 57 year olds, rockin olivera, decided to use the traps and set them with bait. he's looking for efficiency and convenience. he can even bring up the traps during the daytime or winter, but in the octopus goes out here and can't get out again. one blade mill that a by now up until 2000 it wandering. i was working with clay johnson with the band . i switched to fish traps because they're not so exhausting to work with. it might go fishing is easier and you simply catch more. my county that mauricio can hardly keep up with the trappers. they earn far more this night. once again, his catch is relatively small. 50 octopus, weighing about 70 kilos. octopus fishing is heading for a change. the clay jugs are steadily being replaced by plastic containers. but plastic means big problems for the sea. mathilde are hung go and marine biologist from the university of al. gov. warns against using plastic. the oceans are already a wash in micro particles. she campaigns for greater sustainability and awareness among fishermen through a project in the region. around 27 percent, the whole plastic that is in the fi come from last years are, are fishing devices. so there's, there's, there's a huge problem there with those this bottom, the other fishing gear that get lost and are made of plastic material. sustainability is also highly important to maurice, in fishing with clay jugs may not be very profitable. but mauricio is optimistic and determined to stick with the old method, so they will be plenty of octopus in the sea and on dinner plates in years to come real garff may be a natural paradise, but it has its share of problems. periods of drought have left the rivers dry and the forests vulnerable to fire agriculture use as much of the available water with of color plantations. as an example, avocados have experienced a real boom in recent years, and to be honest, i like to eat them to. and as you can see, they're also grown here in the oligarchy. this has both advantages and disadvantages. the fruit of fashion generates 4 times more profit than the oranges and lemons, traditionally grown in the region. but the color, cultivation and mono cultures is criticized worldwide. above all, the large water consumption of the super fruit is problematic. i meet a net class and from the his that archie association, she lives in the village of biology. sounds well and wants to prevent the spread of further of color plantation with her association. and it's, and it's, and i happen to be honest and also like eating and ample cargo is this is a problem in, i'm one of the cato or are you in moderation? no problem. one. but the mono cultures are a problem, especially in a country that's actually very hot and dry because the, all the cato is a tropical fruit and it doesn't really belong here. the reservoir is half empty. is the ever cattle to blame? yes, think it's, it says this because i'm, i think it's also the water management system as a whole. no action is taken when we've had less precipitation. they just use more water than they were using in the years before it's flat enough. but what exactly does your association propose? i've manley greater biodiversity one instead of monoculture, slend different crops should be planted on one piece of ground. this is that's better for the soil and the water management is better because the plans compliment to one another less of some plants bring water up while others make for less evaporation. that's very important to the monet. cultures belong to the past. they're outdated, like thomas asked, what can i do as a consumer if i like to eat, because but don't necessarily want to harm the environment. what can i personally do as soon as as asthma, vinegar awful cuddle cal, 1st of all by fewer av cardoso. that's clear, and then maybe do without cosmetic products that use of a coast or alternate with other things. maybe eat another carter once a week and not 3 times a day if i am to bunker. thank you. pleasure. i continued to the west coast of the elgar lonely white, sandy beaches, steep cliffs. the rough atlantic the west coast is not just a bay thing, surfing, paradise. it's also great fun for outdoorsy people. the climate in the oligarchy is pretty mild and winter. it's just perfect for activities for which it's too hot and summer. for example, hiking my hiking trail, the 3 you those fiscal. notice the path of the fisherman leads along the wild atlantic coast. i hike from north to south because the wind comes from the north and it pushes me a bit. oh, pretty steep. pure natured far away from the cities. my destination is the cowboy g. selby senshi the cape of st. vincent, the most southwestern point of mainland europe, from this cape, the great portuguese explorers sale towards africa and america in the 15th century . you could say that this is the spot where europe and that's the atlantic ocean. over there is north america and over there is south america, moralist that's quite far away with this spot is kind of magical. and i don't think that there is a bad place to and my little trip to the oligarchy. so by fear next time, somewhere else in europe with blue, ah, ah, ah, with, with in good shape is going natural. trading pain with prices brass is that with he endings id by blowing to a snails pace sample treatment method that are also incredibly effective in good shape. coming up on d, w. rethinking capitalism, jeremy hudson. i upgraded myself because i no longer believed that a company was success depended on a 1000 other people should belong to one single person, meet the entrepreneurs who are putting people in the environment. first. exceptional leveling who given them a lot of money. but i just realized that i've never been motivated by money more sin, less greed. 30 on d, w ah, in the battle against cove, with the oma
