![Forte de Cacela Velha, Algarve - Portugal
Cacela Velha Fortress.
Cacela Velha and the surrounding towns were a stopover for Greek and Phoenician navigators, and according to some authors it may have once been near the location of Conistorgis, the still-unrecovered capital of the Conii. Roman and Arab occupiers also played a significant role in the expansion of the region.[1]
Archeological excavations conducted from May 7 to July 4, 2007, determined the village was the Medina of Qast’alla Daraj (Ibn Darradj al-Qastalli), an Islamic town dating back to the 10th century, when much of the Iberian peninsula was controlled by the Moors and Berbers who arrived from North Africa. Archeologists determined the area was an agricultural center, and part of the excavation recovered seven corn pits that were used for storing cereals and grain.

"Prachtige accommodatie. Super schone kamer en regelmatig schone handdoeken en om de 4 dagen schoon lakens op bed. De eigenaar is een ontzettende gastvrije man. Medewerkster Fatima is zeer onbehoorlijk in haar communicatie doordat ze de niet begrijpt wat er gezegd wordt omdat zij geen Engels spreekt en dan snel boos wordt om helemaal niets. Dat was jammer en ook verdrietig om mee te maken en maakt dat wij niet weer hier zullen boeken. Het overige personeel is super vriendelijk. Ontbijt is zeer...

What really made our stay unforgettable though was Fransisco. He’s one of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve ever met while traveling. From the moment we got there, he made us feel completely at home. He wasn’t just a host, more like a friend who truly cares that you have the...
