Historical contextualisation and curiosities about the sunny city of Albufeira

The toponym Albufeira comes from the Arabic name ’Al-buhera’ which means ’castle of the sea’, a reason that may be linked to the proximity of the ocean and/or the lagoon that was formed in the lower part of the town. The Arabs built solid defensive fortifications, making it almost impregnable, which to a certain extent was not unfounded, because Albufeira was one of the squares that the Arabs kept in their possession for the longest time. The development of agriculture was remarkable and there was the introduction of new techniques and new crops. The Arabs already used ploughs and fertilisers, as well as water wheels to raise water in wells. They introduced new irrigation systems in the fields, especially the weirs and levadas, thus transforming uncultivated areas into vegetable gardens and orchards.

When D. Afonso III occupied the throne, part of the Algarve had already fallen into the hands of the Christians. Templars and Hospitallers, military orders that assisted in the Reconquest, often raided the lands that were still under Arab rule, but always stopped in front of the strong walls of Albufeira. It was only after the capture of Faro that the situation of Albufeira became unsustainable.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, the square fell into the hands of King Afonso III, who immediately donated it to the Order of Aviz.

The Moors were persecuted in such a way that only those who fled and took refuge in a cave called Cova do Xorino, located under the rocks delimiting the city on the south side, escaped the fury of the victors.

In the reign of King Manuel I, the town had already regained its former importance, as this monarch granted it a charter on August 20, 1504.

Albufeira was the most punished by natural cataclysms among the Algarve’s cities. But it was the earthquake that caused the greatest damage. The sea invaded the village with waves that reached 10m in height, destroying almost all the buildings, with only 27 houses left standing and these were very ruined.

The Mother Church, an old Arab mosque adapted to Christian worship, where the population had taken refuge, asking for mercy, collapsed causing 227 victims. After this earthquake, the entire Algarve continued to suffer violent shocks until August 20 of the following year, which did not prevent the reconstruction works from immediately starting by order of Bishop D. Francisco Gomes de Avelar.

In 1833, during the civil war between absolutists and liberals, Albufeira was surrounded and attacked by the soldiers of Remexido: an absolutist popular chief who deeply damaged the town and executed a large number of its inhabitants.

From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, there was a development of the economy thanks to fishing activity.

In the first decades of the twentieth century, there was a sharp increase in the export of fish and nuts. The village then had five factories that employed 700 to 800 people, mostly fishermen’s wives.

From 1930 to 1960 there were times of decay, fishing traps were ruined, factories closed, boats disappeared and many houses were abandoned. The population was halved and fishing became a subsistence activity again.

In the early 60s, the tourist phenomenon was born, Albufeira was sought after by national tourists, but it was mainly with the English that it prospered.

In the 80s, there was a huge urban surge, with the city growing to the east, where most of the administrative services were transferred, including the City Hall.
