#newlightpictures #algarve #portugal #teaser #documentary

This film documents the importance of the Algarve during the Age of Discoveries. With its strategic location, it was one of the regions in Portugal that had the greatest influence on Portuguese discoveries. Its coastal cities, such as Lagos and Sagres, were important starting ports for maritime expeditions that led the Portuguese to explore new lands and establish trade routes worldwide. Furthermore, it was in this region that Infante D. Henrique, the driving force behind the Age of Discoveries, was born and raised, and where the famous School of Sagres was established. It was here that many of the ships and caravels were built, including the iconic Caravel Boa Esperança, which was used by Vasco da Gama on his historic voyage to India.
