Alguma informação sobre Sagres:
Situada na extremidade sudoeste do barlavento algarvio, a vila de Sagres pertence ao concelho de Vila do Bispo e, segundo o Censos de 2011, tem apenas 1909 habitantes, sendo por isso uma das áreas portuguesas de baixa densidade populacional.
A vila de Sagres está indissociavelmente ligada aos Descobrimentos e à figura do Infante D. Henrique, que, segundo afirmam estudos históricos antigos, terá mandado erguer uma fortaleza (a Fortaleza de Sagres) no primeiro quartel do século XV e aí terá fundado uma escola náutica – a ´famosa' Escola de Sagres. Todavia, investigações históricas recentes afirmam não haver qualquer indício documentado que confirme a existência desta escola e, consequentemente, uma significativa parte dos historiadores da actualidade põe em dúvida a sua existência e considera-a uma lenda. Não obstante, sabe-se que o Infante terá transferido a sua residência habitual de Viseu para Lagos, quando o rei D. João I (seu pai) o nomeia governador perpétuo do Algarve . À parte a falta de “indícios documentados” é facto que o Infante D. Henrique se interessava pelas ciências náuticas, astronomia, matemática e astrologia e será para sempre uma figura indissociável dos Descobrimentos, e Sagres “recordará sempre o início da abertura dos mares e da descoberta de novos mundos”. (Cf. A. H. Oliveira Marques, Breve História de Portugal,p. 134, 5ªed.2003; Infopédia) — com Inês Dourado
