Palheiros
In this remote area of the Faro region you can find many ruins of the “Casas Circulares” (Round houses) or “Palheiros” (barns). These are pre-historic stone houses that have been used by farmers for thousands of years.
Along the M504 there are many examples, mainly on private land. But these in Cachopo can be visited, as some in Mealha.
