Resumo(s)
This article describes, in a general way, the provisional housing in the Arraial of Faro’s beach, Algarve, Portugal, where fishermen lived during the tuna fishing season (50s and 60s) and which already disappeared, and the existing houses in the city of Faro, where the owners of the fishing company lived. The transition from thatched roof houses to the wooden pavilions on the beach, which housed fishermen and their families during the tuna fishing season, from March to June, and the houses owned by the employers, are described. Two of the main objectives to be achieved is to disseminate this heritage, part of which disappeared, and to rouse the population's awareness, especially the local population, about the danger of its total disappearance. This research was based on documentary, photographic and bibliographical analyses and also on interviews with people involved in this activity, and who are now about 90 years old, which constitutes, beyond the scarce information that exists, an important limitation to the development of this work. This is the reason why it is urgent to register and disclosure this heritage, given the advanced age of those who witnessed in the first person all this experience and art. Being a heritage that characterizes this region, it must be valued and transmitted to the generations to come. Otherwise, there will exist a great risk of its complete disappearance, both physically and from the collective memory of the community. The originality of this paper is the taken approach: based on the tuna fishery in Faro, it performs a characterization of the fishermen's dwellings, located on the beach, and those of the employers, located in the city.
