SAR interferometry has been applied to the Algarve region of southern Portugal which is an area characterised by a significant regional tectonic activity, evidenced by neotectonic deformation and seismicity. This technique proved to be a useful tool in active tectonic investigation for this region, since it has allowed the detection of active movements mainly coincident with active faults and/or with areas of seimicity concentration. Field studies should be oriented to the locations where interferometric anomalies have been detected. The Algarve region is the southernmost part of the Portuguese territory and is localized in a complex tectonic context, that is (Fig.1) in the intersection of a continental margin of N-S direction, which is probably in transition from passive to active and the Açores-Gibraltar fracture zone 100-200 km on the south. [1] and [2]. This particular location is responsible for an intense neo- tectonic activity (evidence of movement along faults that had occurred at least in the last
