Alguma informação/Some information:
Todos os anos visito esta encantadora vila piscatória e todos os anos a desenho e pinto. Eu adoro Ferragudo. Debruçada sobre as águas do mar e do rio Arade e com uma feição geológica íngreme bem aproveitada pelo homem, a pacata vila de Ferragudo é, para mim, uma das mais belas silhuetas à beira-mar plantada, que se encontra no litoral algarvio. Situada no concelho de Lagoa e com cerca de 1980 habitantes (censos de 2011), Ferragudo foi elevado à categoria de vila em 30 de Junho de 1999. Conta-nos a história que o topónimo “Ferragudo” tem raízes na existência de um engenho de ferro, que existia numa das suas praias (Praia da Angrinha) e que servia para elevar as mercadorias e o pescado das embarcações. Embora a história nos conte que Ferragudo surgiu por volta do século XIV, ocupada por pescadores que procuravam o mar para sobreviverem e que se instalaram por aqui construindo humildes casebres, existem vestígios que atestam a presença humana nestas paragens no período pré-histórico e que a foz do Arade foi cobiçada pelos Fenícios e Cartagineses. Achados arqueológicos encontrados junto ao Forte de S. João do Arade (com raiz numa torre de vigia erigida no reinado de João II, 1481-1495), atestam ainda que os Romanos também ocuparam esta região, dedicando-se à pesca e fomentando a indústria da salga de peixe. Tal como a maioria das povoações situadas no litoral algarvio, no século passado a indústria conserveira fomentou a prosperidade em Ferragudo. No entanto, a desactualização dos equipamentos e a incapacidade de acompanhar o avanço tecnológico tornou esta indústria pouco rentável e posterior decadência. Até c. 1970 a pesca continuou a ser o sustento e a principal fonte de rendimento desta povoação. Actualmente, tal como praticamente todo o litoral algarvio, Ferragudo vive do mar mas numa outra perspectiva. As belas praias, o rio e a sua privilegiada localização fazem do turismo a sua principal fonte de subsistência.
Every years I visit this enchanting village and every years I draw and painting it. I’m really love Ferragudo. Overlooking on the sea’s waters and the Arade river, and a steep geological feature with a good use by man, the quiet village of Ferragudo is, for me, one of the most beautiful silhouettes planted in the waterfront of the Algarve coast. Located in the county of Lagoa and with about 1980 inhabitants (2011 census), Ferragudo was elevated to a town on 30 June 1999. The history tell us that the place name "Ferragudo" is rooted in the existence of an iron machine, which existed in one of its beaches ( Angrinha beach) and which served to raise the goods and the fish of the vessels. Although the history tell us that Ferragudo appeared around the XIV century, occupied by fishermen seeking the sea to survive and who settled here building humble shacks, there are traces that attest to human presence in these parts in the prehistoric period and that the mouth of the Arade was coveted by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians. Archaeological finds found near to the Fort of St. John the Arade (rooted in a watchtower built in the reign of John II, 1481-1495), also show that the Romans also occupied this region, dedicated to the fishing and promoting industry of fish salting.
Like most of the villages located in the Algarve coast, in the last century the canning industry fostered prosperity in Ferragudo. However, the obsolescence of equipment and the inability to keep pace with technological advances has made this industry unprofitable and subsequent decay. Until about 1970’s fishing remained the main source of income of this village. Currently, as virtually the entire Algarve coast, Ferragudo live from the sea but in another perspective. The beautiful beaches, the river and its privileged location make tourism its main source of livelihood.
