CURIOSITIES: « The canning industry in the Algarve was born by the hand of foreign businessmen, all of whom came from the Mediterranean basin where, since the Carthaginian colonization, tuna was caught and industrially processed. After the Greeks and Italians landed on the Guadiana river, in the last decades of the 19th century, XIX, to invest in the first sardine and tuna canning factories, here comes the Andalusians looking for their industrial space in the Algarve. They also settled first in Vila Real de Santo Antonio, but when the labor market was already scarce and with a lack of specialized supply, they turned to the other Algarve ports, from Tavira to Lagos. Two locations stood out in this second wave of large canning industrial investment, largely justified by the emergence of World War I - they were Olhao and Portimao, and it is certain that in the latter the Feu family was distinguished, which still endures and is distinguished today. in that city for his creative and entrepreneurial spirit. Today I bring to mind the figure of this remarkable Spanish entrepreneur in the canning industry, and local benefactor, D. Cayetano Feu Marchena, a descendant of an important Andalusian family, born in Ayamonte, on 2-8-1882, and died in Lisbon, on 2-2 7-1946.

This neighborhood later passed into the possession of the Gremio dos Industriais de Canned de Peixe, being completed and increased with the financial contribution of the State. In his factories, he built modern canteens and day care centers for the welfare of the workers, also instituting sick pay, pensions and lifetime pensions for older workers.

Cayetano Feu already proceeded in this way with his workers, in a spirit of philanthropy and unprecedented benevolence. In 1936 he became Portuguese, a fact celebrated with a magnificent banquet served in Caldas of Monchique to his family, numerous friends and main workers.
