Fuzeta: Initially the city was just a few huts where the fishermen kept their fishing equipment. This place was initially known as ""Fozeta"" (diminutive for river mouth in Portuguese) due to his location just by the river mouth of Troncos brook. The actual name of the village, Fuseta, was an update of the first name. Now Fuseta has 1900 residents, and this number increases a lot in the summer season. The village still have a lot of houses with the typical arquitecture of this side of Algarve, with their cubic shape, the flat roofs, and the balloon shaped chimneys. Up until 2010 there was a group of houses of non-permanent use on the island. But the storm of that winter destroyed all the houses, which was located in an area with high vulnerability to waves overtopping. So, now, on the island there is just some snack-bars opened on the summer. The main activity in Fuseta continues to be the fishing and others related with it, but the proximity to the beaches and the Ria has led to an increase of the tourism. The campsite welcomes hundreds of visitors in the summer, such as the hotels and residentials surrounding the village.
