A collection of correspondence from the governors of the Algarve province between 1638 and 1663, with text preparation and preface by Alberto Iria. The period covered encompasses the final years of the Iberian Union and a large part of the Restoration War, allowing us to follow, through the governors' official correspondence, the administration and military defense of a border province, particularly exposed to maritime and land attacks during those years of conflict with Spain.
