BARRAGEM DO ARADE, SILVES
Vlog 015 - Barragem do Arade (Arade Stausee bei Silves) / Life2Travel
Wir haben uns irgendwo in der Pampa von Portugal verfahren und einen alten Stausee entdeckt. Natürlich hab ich trotz des starken Windes einmal kurz die Drohne steigen lassen. Und es hat sich mega gelohnt!

Silves, Faro District, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
Silves is a municipality in the Portuguese Algarve of southern Portugal. The population in 2011 was 37,126, in an area of 680.06 km². The urbanized area includes approximately 11,000 inhabitants. Silves is the former capital of the Algarve and is of great historical importance. The region of Silves has been inhabited since the Palaeolithic, as attested by archaeological remains, including several menhirs. The river Arade, which was navigable in historical times, linked the hinterland to the open ocean and allowed the transport of produce and commerce. The town of Silves (Cilpes) was possibly founded during the times of Roman domination, when the region was part of the Lusitania province.
After 713, when the Moors invaded Iberia, Silves became part of the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba under the Arabic name of Shilb (شلب). In the 10th century it was one of the most important towns of western Al-Andalus. Silves became an independent taifa in 1027 under the rule of Ibn Mozaine and his son, who was dethroned in 1051 by al-Mu'tadid, the governor of Seville. al-Mu'tamid ibn 'Abbad, the son of al-Mu'tadid and a famous poet, ruled the taifa of Silves until 1091. After the Almoravid conquest the town became Almohad in 1156. In 1189 King Sancho I of Portugal conquered the town with the aid of Northern European crusaders, but lost it again to the Almohads. Periodic raiding expeditions were sent from Al-Andalus to ravage the Iberian Christian kingdoms, bringing back booty and slaves. The governor of Córdoba attacked Silves in 1191, and took 3,000 Christian slaves. Again under Muslim rule, the city would then prosper to the point of being called the Baghdad of the West. The town was finally taken from the last Muslim king Ibn Afan by Paio Peres Correia, Grand-Master of the Order of Santiago in 1242, after the Alentejo and most of the coast had already fallen in 1238. The great mosque was changed into Silves Cathedral (Sé Catedral). Silves declined in importance thereafter and was eclipsed in the region by Faro during the colonial period. In 1491, the town was given to queen Leonora by King João. Parts of the Almohad town wall, constructed from poured concrete, have been preserved, as well as the Almedina-gate (Porta de Loulé). Other sights include the Santa Misericórdia Church with a fine door in Manueline style (the main body of the church was built in 1727-28); a museum for cork and the production of bottle corks in a defunct factory which is now also a centre for cultural events called Fábrica do Inglês (The Englishman's Factory); and the municipal museum (Museu Municipal de Arqueologia) with findings from the palaeolithic onwards. The town is situated on a hill above the Arade River. Silves Castle (Castelo dos Mouros, Moorish Castle) is located on the top of the hill. It occupies ca. 12,000m². Archaeological excavations have shown that the oldest buildings date back to the 8th century, the stratigraphy is almost 6m deep and contains Iron Age remains as well. The walls are made of red sandstone (grés de Silves) with a pisé-core and have been heavily restored in the 1940s. Protruding towers of albarra-type protect the Northern slope. After the Christian conquest, the castle served as the seat of the alcaide-mor (provincial governor) till the middle of the 16th century, afterwards the towers were used as a prison. The municipality is crossed by the Arade River, which was navigable in historical times and was key to the prosperity of the city of Silves. The waters of the river form the dams of Arade and Funcho. The landscape of the municipality is generally hilly. To the south the municipality borders the Atlantic Ocean. Silves is built on top of one of the largest underground aquifers in the south of Portugal, The Querença-Silves Aquifer , and has many orange groves, a fruit introduced by the Moors.
Barragem de ARADE... SILVES.... Algarve
Seca no Sul de Portugal 2019 Barragem de Santa Clara
Apesar das recentes chuvas, o sul de Portugal estava em meados de Novembro de 2019 em situação de seca. A barragem de Santa Clara é depois de Alqueva o maior reservatório a sul do Tejo, desde a sua construção em 1969 que esta barragem não atingia níveis tão baixos. A meio de Novembro de 2019 o seu nível mantinha-se abaixo dos 50% e em toda a bacia hidrográfica do rio Mira nenhum dos afluentes corria. Situação semelhante ocorria em todas as barragens do Algarve pondo em causa o abastecimento em 2020, esperemos que a chuva seja persistente e inverta brevemente a situação de seca no sul de Portugal.
Aqui é visível a grave seca de 2017

The Algarve best kept secret - Praia da Amoreira aerial view - Aljezur - 4K Ultra HD
Esta bonita praia isolada é uma das mais belas de Portugal, localiza-se perto da vila de Aljezur, é possível tomar banhos no mar ou no rio na ribeira de Aljezur que aqui desagua. No topo Norte tem uma grande rocha negra que faz lembrar um gigante deitado.
Vigiada durante a época balnear, é uma boa opção para os apreciadores de surf e bodyboard, e oferece também um concorrido restaurante de apoio, a única construção das redondezas.
Amoreira beach is a natural and as yet unspoilt sandy beach about 7kms from the little town of Aljezur in the Western Algarve. It’s popular with surfers, fishermen and those who just want to escape from the rat race of mass tourism and concrete highrise. There are no shops or concession areas so you will need to bring your own parasols, beach chairs and windbreaks if required. The only toilets available are at the restaurant.

Sítio das Fontes & Barragem do Arade
There are lots of hidden little walks and places in the Algarve that are hard to find and are often little hidden gems … we even hesitated about sharing this one with you as the sítio das fontes near Estombar, in the parish of Lagoa, is such a peaceful and quiet place – we don’t want too many people to find it!
It’s 18 hectares of municipal park and land with a lake, fountain, river walk, picnic area and so much open space and amenities to enjoy.
The Barragem do Arade was built in the years between 1944 and 1956. It is one of the main reservoirs of water in the Algarve and is irrigating more than 2.300 hectares of citrus trees.
The water level is max.46 meters above ground and the dam itself is 246 meters wide
The dam also produces 1,35 GWh of electricity.

Barragem de Odelouca - Vista aérea (aerial view) @Odelouca - Portugal
A Barragem de Odelouca começou a fornecer água ao Barlavento algarvio no dia 1 de junho de 2012. Foi o concretizar de um polémico projeto que deu os seus primeiros passos 40 anos antes, em 1972.
Desde então, a albufeira que constitui o maior sistema do Algarve já forneceu 30 milhões de metros cúbicos de água.
Trata-se da segunda maior barragem em terra do país (a maior é a de Santa Clara, no Baixo Alentejo), mas a única que, no interior do seu paredão tem um túnel que o percorre de um lado ao outro.
The Odelouca Dam began providing water to the western Algarve on 1 June 2012. It was the finish of a controversial project that took its first steps 40 years earlier in 1972.
Since then the dam which is the largest in the Algarve system has provided 30 million cubic meters of water.
It is the second largest dam built with soil (the largest is Santa Clara, in Baixo Alentejo), but the only one that has a tunnel that runs from one side to another of the wall.
