Quarteira ((:kwɐɾˈtɐjɾɐ) or (:kwɐɾˈtejɾɐ)) is a Portuguese civil parish, in the municipality (''concelho'') of Loulé in the Algarve.〔Detail Regional Map, Algarve-Southern Portugal, ISBN 3-8297-6235-6〕 The population in 2011 was 21,798,〔(Instituto Nacional de Estatística )〕 in an area of 38.16 km².〔(Direção-Geral do Território )〕 ==History== The settlement of the region dates back to, at least, the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula (at one time confused with the village of Carteia). There are still other authors who suggest that settlement of the region may have remoted to the period of Phoenician or Carthaginian traders.〔 For several centuries, Quarteira was a modest fishing village, situated on the edge of a beach, encircled by pines.〔 King Denis authorized a foral (''charter'') for the settlement on 15 November 1297.〔 In the 15th century, King John I of Portugal ordered the first cultivation of sugar cane in continental Portugal.〔 Created in 1916, the civil parish quickly became known for its beaches, fishing and its forests of pine.〔 Quarteira was elevated to the status of ''cidade'' (''city'') on 13 May 1999.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quarteira」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
