Metrics details
The productivity of beans is greatly influenced by the different edaphoclimatic conditions in the Agreste-Sertão region
requiring the identification of adapted and stable genotypes to minimize the effects of the interaction between genotypes per environments (GxE)
The objective of this work was to analyze the adaptability and stability of carioca bean pre-cultivars in three municipalities in the Agreste-Sertão of Pernambuco using the AMMI model in its Bayesian version BAMMI and compare the results with the frequentist approach
the BAMMI analysis showed better predictive capacity
as well as better performance in the study of adaptability and stability
The cultivar BRS Notável stood out in terms of main effect and stability
Adaptability of genotypes to specific locations was also observed
enabling the use of the positive effect of the GxE interaction
which was more evident with the BAMMI model
the flexibility of BAMMI model to deal with data resulting from multi-environmental experiments can be seen
overcoming limitations of the standard analysis of the AMMI model
there are still few studies exploring the predictive power of BAMMI in relation to frequentist AMMI
for the inference process with the BAMMI model
this work aimed to analyze the adaptability and stability of carioca bean pre-cultivars in the Agreste-Sertão of Pernambuco using the AMMI model (Additive Main effects and Multiplicative Interaction analysis) in its Bayesian version BAMMI (Bayesian AMMI) and comparing the results with the frequentist approach
Graph of the climatic conditions of the municipalities of Pernambuco
where the carioca bean genotypes were evaluated
The genotypes used consisted of 10 lineages and four cultivars, from the National Rice and Beans Research Center (CNPAF) from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa Rice and Beans) (Table 2)
The cultivars were used as witnesses in the experimental tests since they are recommended for cultivation in the state of Pernambuco
The experimental design was in randomized blocks
The experimental plots consisted of four rows spaced 0.5 × 0.1 m between and inside
and the useful area consisted of the two central rows
Soil preparation was done in a conventional way
with chemical fertilization with 40 kg ha-1 of N
60 kg ha-1 of P2O5 and 30 kg ha-1 of K2O before the implementation of the tests
Irrigation was performed when necessary for cultivation in Belém de São Francisco
because in the others the rainfed system predominated
Weed plants control was done by hand weeding and for pest control
application of Metamidophos Fersol (600 at a dose of 0.5 L ha-1) was promoted

the complete a posteriori conditional distribution for the residual variance is inverse scaling chi-square:
The joint analysis showed a significant effect of the interaction, indicating non-additivity of the main effects, justifying the application of the AMMI analysis (Table 3)
According to Cornelius' Fr test, the model that best described the data set was AMMI-4, that is, the model that presents four main components retained to explain the effect of the GxE interaction. In this model, 98% of the variation of the GxE interaction is explained (Table 4)
AMMI2 model biplot with average genotypic and environmental scores for data from competition trials with carioca beans in the Agreste-Sertão region of Pernambuco
In relation to the Arcoverde municipality, the genotype CNFC 15497 (G7) showed specific adaptability, in the year 2014 (E1), while in 2015 (E4) there was no significant contribution from the environment to the interaction (Fig. 2)
The genotypes CNFC 15475 (G5) and CNFC 15513 (G10) showed specific adaptability to the municipality São João in 2014 (E3), which in turn did not contribute significantly to the interaction in 2015 (E6). In addition to the stable genotypes, CNFC15513 (G10) would be the most interesting for this specific location in terms of recommendation (Fig. 2)
In the graphs of traces and densities of the MCMC chains, it was observed that the distributions were stationary, corroborating the results obtained by the applied convergence tests. For examples, Fig. 3 shows the plot of traces for the genotypic and residual variance of the BAMMI-1 model, which was the model that best fitted the data in the selection stage.

In Table 5
point and interval estimates related to singular values are presented for BAMMI models as a function of the number of bilinear components retained
it can be stated that the first axis explains 42.8% of all the variation in the interaction
BIC and AICM information criteria for selecting the BAMMI model for data from competition trials with carioca beans in the Agreste-Sertão region of Pernambuco
Table 6 presents point and interval estimates for genotype effects referring to BAMMI
as well as the minimum squares estimates obtained by the frequentist AMMI adjustment for comparison purposes
the predictions of the BAMMI model are slightly smaller than the respective minimum squares solutions
The genotypes that stood out the most regarding the main effect were CNFC 15480 (G6)
Overlaps between the HPD intervals suggest similar effects, however the lineage CNFC 15480 (G6) and the cultivars BRS Estilo (G12) and BRS Notável (G13) did not include negative values in their credibility regions and, therefore, are the most interesting in terms of the main effect (Table 6)
Positive HPD values indicate that these genotypes contributed the most to the population average and consequently are the ones with the highest productivity
Biplot of the BAMMI model: a Average genotypic and environmental scores and b Regions of bivariate credibility (95%) for data from competition trials with carioca beans in the Agreste-Sertão of Pernambuco
To simplify the interpretations, only the credibility regions that do not encompass the origin (0,0) were represented, and the respective genotypes (or environments) are considered not stable, in other words, they have a significant contribution to interaction (Fig. 5b)
The bivariate regions of credibility for the genotypic and environmental scores
are used to analyze the effect of the GxE interaction
in which overlaps between them are used to interpret the adaptability and stability of the materials

Spearman Correlation (CorS) and PRESS for EM-AMMI and BAMMI models (20% unbalance)
The distinction of genotypes that showed specific interaction with the municipality of Belém de São Francisco it may have occurred due to operational problems during the the management of crops. It is worth noting that the average yields in Belém de São Francisco in both years were the highest among the other environments (Table 7)
fact possibly linked to the number of genotypes with specific adaptability to this municipality and to having an irrigation system
A similar consideration can be made in relation to the Arcoverde municipality
since the experiments at this location were conducted under rainfed conditions
the municipalities have different types of soil and the cultivation in São João depends
of the amount of organic matter put in each year
When considering the effects of genotypes as random
it allows for variance components to be estimated and for kinship coefficients to be incorporated in the AMMI analysis
This leads to more accurate estimates of the genetic values of the genotypes and
it offers more realistic estimates of the true genotypic value
Among the genotypes that stand out in terms of the main effect only BRS Notável can be considered stable and, therefore, has a wide recommendation (Fig. 5b)
This interpretation is not direct with respect to the biplot of the frequentist model and would be a risky assumption in the context of classical analysis
using the 95% credibility level of the Baysean model
it is possible to safely identify G13 as stable
this genotype has no important contribution to the GxE interaction
The cultivar BRS Notável was used as a witness in the experiments because it has a recommendation for cultivation in the state of Pernambuco
as well as the other three cultivars mentioned in this work
BRS Notável was the only one that combined positive genotypic effect and stability
reinforcing its viability and potential for the Agreste-Sertão region of Pernambuco
it is therefore pertinent to indicate these materials for the places that had good interaction
according to the adaptability analysis through the credibility regions
The configurations of the midpoints of genotypic and environmental scores in the biplots of the AMMI frequentist and AMMI Bayesian models were similar
the analysis of the credibility regions by the biplot of the BAMMI model provided a clearer organization of the specific interactions of the genotypes with certain environments
allowing you to relate materials more firmly to specific locations
despite the differences perceived in the different years
which were probably caused by the edaphoclimatic variations of the municipality
the incorporation of inference to the biplot allowed us to identify environments and genotypes that do not have important contributions to the GxE interaction
the EM algorithm is great for imputing missing data
since its iterative process is done in the GxE matrix
converging the imputation of the interaction in a few steps
which could justify the good performance of the EM-AMMI models in scenarios with losses of up to 33%
allows the user of the statistical program to perform the entire inference process in a reasonably simple and practical way
The cultivar BRS Notável (G13) is able to capitalize on positive interactions with the environments
being classified as stable and recommended with wide adaptation for the Agreste-Sertão of Pernambuco; Arcoverde and São João are the municipalities that present greater stability for the effects of the GxE interaction
evidenced by the BAMMI analysis through the credibility regions
The recommendation of cultivar IPR 139 (G1) allows exploring the positive effect of GxE in Arcoverde
while in Belém de São Francisco the pre-cultivars CNFC 15480 (G6) and CNFC 15534 (G11) are used; in São João
the genotype CNFC 15513 (G10) shows greater adaptability
The BAMMI analysis is more capable of identifying environments and genotypes that do not have important contributions to the GxE interaction; this model exhibits superior predictive ability compared to the EM-AMMI model

Belém , City (pop., 2000 prelim.: metro. area, 1,271,615), northern Brazil. The capital of Pará state, the port of Belém lies on the Pará River in the vast Amazon River delta 90 mi (145 km) from the Atlantic Ocean
It began in 1616 as a fortified settlement; as it gradually became established
it helped consolidate Portuguese supremacy in northern Brazil
It enjoyed prosperity in the late 19th century as the main exporting centre of the Amazon rubber industry
it continued to be northern Brazil’s commercial centre and a main port for Amazon River craft
From Portugal and Britain via Hong Kong and Macau
this trendy pastry has traveled a long way to pop up in the Bay
While pastry-spotting in London over the summer
which looked like the dan tat or Chinese egg tarts you see swirling on dim sum carts in San Francisco
but distinguished itself with a browned top
A baker friend quickly corrected that these were pastéis de nata or Portuguese egg tarts
I found a new appreciation for our local version
and started to keep an eye out for their close cousins
which have been making an appearance around town
with a crumbling crust often made from lard (though some use Chinese-style puff pastry)
filled with an eggy custard that shudders on nudge
pastéis de nata have a laminated crust made from butter
and it’s blitzed in a hot oven until blistered on top
the pastéis de nata is a juxtaposition of creamy and crunchy textures
and few can resist the charms of a hand pie
But it begs the question — who stole the tarts
A mini history of mini tarts: Portuguese egg tarts date back to the 1800s
when monks who used egg whites to starch their clothes were looking for ways to use up the yolks
Guangzhou and Hong Kong restaurants catering to British businessmen started making the Chinese style with a lard crust and wiggly custard
Macau picked up the Portuguese’s finishing touch
But whether it’s a Portuguese tart routed through Macau, or a British custard by way of Hong Kong, egg tarts have crossed oceans twice to reach San Francisco. First, thanks to Chinese immigrants who established bakeries such as Golden Gate Bakery in Chinatown, an institution known for both excellent dan tats and erratic hours
the Bay Area is experiencing a second wave of egg tarts
as pastéis de nata are becoming increasingly popular due to the opening of several Portuguese restaurants
From Noe Valley and the Sunset to San Jose
here’s where Portuguese egg tarts are popping up the Bay Area
Pastéis de nata have been on the dessert menu since day one
Unlike a standard puff pastry or croissant dough that rises up
these cut edges are flush with the bottom of the pan
Sometimes guests try to order six or a dozen tarts to go
But they’re a sweet ending to a dinner of salt cod fritters and piri-piri chicken
Boavida is a new Outer Sunset project from the former owner of Cafe St
Andrea de Francisco’s family is originally from Portugal
and she wanted to get back in the food business with a laid-back neighborhood market slash cafe
That means that Portuguese egg tarts are now kicking it at the beach
and they go great with either a cup of coffee in the morning or with a glass of wine to wind down the day
De Francisco hopes to bake her own eventually: “They’re tricky to make,” she admits
but we’re still perfecting the crust.” Fortunately
comes from the same Portuguese island as de Francisco’s family
with a rustic pastry crust and good custard
Adega, the only Michelin-starred restaurant in San Jose, calls the city’s Little Portugal immigrant neighborhood home. It hosted a viral pastéis de nata event this year: The restaurant tried a Saturday morning pop-up, and promptly sold 1,000 egg tarts in the first hour, according to Mercury News
It opened a sister bakery called Pastelaria de Adega a few months ago
and the layers of the laminated dough are perfect
If any bakeries try to get away with making the crust with repurposed croissant dough
it’s worth giving one of these little tarts a two-bite test

Standing at the entrance to Lisbon harbour
the Monastery of the Hieronymites – construction of which began in 1502 – exemplifies Portuguese art at its best
built to commemorate Vasco da Gama's expedition
is a reminder of the great maritime discoveries that laid the foundations of the modern world
À l'entrée du port de Lisbonne
le monastère des hiéronymites
dont la construction commença en 1502
témoigne de l'art portugais à son apogée
construite pour commémorer l'expédition de Vasco de Gama
rappelle les grandes découvertes maritimes qui ont jeté les fondements du monde moderne
عند مدخل مرفأ لشبونة، يشهد دير الرهبان الدومينيكيين الذي بدأ تشييده عام 1502 على الفن البرتغالي في ذروته
أما برج بيليم المجاور الأنيق الذي ارتفع احتفاءً بذكرى بعثة فاسكو دي غاما، فيذكّر بالاكتشافات البحرية الكبيرة التي أرست أسس العالم الحديث
哲罗姆派修道院位于在里斯本海港入口处,始建于1502年,它是葡萄牙艺术颠峰时期的最好例证。它旁边的贝莱姆塔,则是为纪念航海家瓦斯科·达·加玛的航行而建立的,它向人们讲述着那段奠定了现代世界基础的大航海时代。
Стоящий при входе в лиссабонскую гавань монастырь иеронимитов
наиболее ярко иллюстрирует португальское искусство
воздвигнута в память об экспедиции Васко да Гамы и напоминает о великих морских открытиях
заложивших основы современной политической карты мира
el Monasterio de los Jerónimos se yergue a la entrada del puerto de Lisboa y es la ejemplificación misma del arte portugués en todo su apogeo
erigida para conmemorar la expedición de Vasco de Gama
trae a la memoria los grandes descubrimientos marítimos que echaron los cimientos del mundo moderno
This serial World Heritage property comprises the Monastery of the Hieronymites and the Tower of Belém
located on the shore of the Tagus River at the entrance to the port of Lisbon
The Monastery of the Hieronymites is a royal foundation that dates back to the late 15th century
Manuel I and donated to the monks of Saint Hieronymus so that they would pray for the King
and pay spiritual assistance to seafarers that left the shores of Lisbon in quest for the new world
The monastery was also built to perpetuate the memory of Prince Henry the Navigator
Its very rich ornamentation derives from the exuberance typical of Manueline art
Being symbolically linked to the Age of Discoveries
the monastery still preserves most of its magnificent structures
Francisco de Arruda constructed the famous Tower of Belém around 1514
which commemorated the expedition of Vasco da Gama and also served to defend the port of Lisbon
The cross of the Knights of Christ is repeated indefinitely on the parapets of this fortress
while the watch towers that flank it are capped with ribbed cupolas inspired by Islamic architecture
Created by the royal dynasty of Avis at its height
the complex of Belém is one of the most representative examples of Portuguese power during the Age of Discoveries
Criterion (iii): The Monastery of the Hieronymites and Tower of Belém are a unique and exceptional testimony to a 15th and 16th-century civilization and culture
knowledge and courage of the Portuguese people at a time when they consolidated their presence and domain of intercontinental trade routes
Criterion (vi): The complex of Belém is directly associated with the Golden Age of the Discovery and the pioneer role the Portuguese had in the 15th and 16th centuries in creating contacts
dialogue and interchange among different cultures
comprising the complex of Belém that includes the Monastery of the Hieronymites and the Tower of Belém
Despite the changes that both monuments went through over time
they have succeeded in preserving their physical integrity
the church maintains its religious services as the parish of Santa Maria de Belém
The Tower of Belém has preserved its original layout
despite the large changes in the surrounding area caused by landfills and by the silting of the river Tagus
The 103 ha buffer zone around the serial property serves to increase the protection of the settings of the two monuments but the wider setting
still warrants additional protection to ensure that the visual characteristics are maintained
The complex of Belém testifies to Portugal’s cultural apogee in the 16th century and has retained its authenticity in terms of materials
Of particular mention is the stone workmanship of the Monastery and Tower
where building materials are those used in the original construction
Restoration projects implemented by national and local organisations have strictly respected original materials and techniques
The properties maintain their predominant position from an urban point of view
Authenticity has also been maintained in terms of location and setting
as there are no major changes to the original plan
social significance and relationship with the urban setting
The Monastery of the Hieronymites and the Tower of Belém are classified as national monuments by a Decree published in the Government Journal no
In order to ensure enforcement of the Law as the basis for the policy and regulatory system for the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage (Law no
140 of 15 June 2009 established the legal framework for studies
works or interventions carried out for classified cultural assets
the need for a prior and systematic assessment
monitoring and careful analysis of any works that are likely to affect the property’s integrity so as to avoid any disfigurement
This is ensured by appropriate and strict planning
and by careful supervision of any techniques
methodologies and resources to be used for implementation of interventions on cultural properties
309 of 23 October 2009 equates buffer zones with special protection zones
which benefit from adequate restrictions for the protection and enhancement of cultural properties
The key goal of the management arrangements is to preserve the authenticity and integrity of the property as a whole monumental complex through the implementation of a work plan that involves the local community
All the interventions that have been implemented or are programmed comply with current legislation
as well as with strict technical and scientific criteria
Attention is given to the treatment and rehabilitation of the area surrounding the monuments
as these works are to be ensured by local organisations involving both the municipality and the local community
Management of the property is ensured by the decentralised services of the Directorate General for Cultural Heritage (DGPC)
the national administration department responsible for cultural heritage
enhancement and safeguarding measures are ensured by DGPC that is responsible for drawing up an annual programme and implementing it so as to secure the continued future maintenance of the monuments
The creation of a single protection zone for both monuments as well as the enlargement of the buffer zone have been crucial for the integral protection of the property
the wider setting in terms of the important views of the property from the sea will also require careful monitoring and additional protection to ensure that integrity is maintained
After residents were surprised by an inspection by the Municipal Police
the Belém Parish Council has decided to install signs in the Restelo neighborhood
where parking on the sidewalk is traditionally legal
The council says the measure will be temporary
has had a solution to regulate parking in the neighborhood
increase the supply of spaces and get cars off the sidewalks once and for all
Days after the Municipal Police showed up in the Restelo neighborhood to fine cars parked on the sidewalk
the Belém Parish Council took action: instead of moving forward with the painting of parking spaces that would safeguard pedestrian mobility
chose to legitimize the situationThis is an informal practice that has been going on for decades
but which until now had no legal framework
Parking with two wheels on the sidewalk and the other two on the road is now legal on three streets in Restelo
These three streets - the Rua Dom Cristóvão da Gama
Tristão da Cunha Street e Rua São Francisco Xavier - are three longitudinal roads that cut through the neighborhood from one end to the other
intersecting with three main streets: the Soldiers of India Streeton the westernmost side; the Duarte Pacheco Pereira Streetin the center
where you'll find the neighborhood's local shops and the popular Careca pastry shop with its croissants; and the Belém Tower Avenueon the opposite side
the number of cars in Restelo's households has increased
Although there is parking inside the houses
many people prefer to keep their cars on the street in order to optimize the space inside their homes
There's another problem: with irregular parking on the street
maneuvering the cars onto private land becomes difficult or even impossible in many situations
What is certain is that parking on the sidewalk, common not only in Restelo but in other parts of Belém and the city, is detrimental to pedestrian mobility and even makes entire neighborhoods inaccessible to many people with strollers or wheelchairs - as is the case with Catarina, "a rare species on wheels", content creator on Instagram
"Various configurations were first studied
including those that legitimized parking on the sidewalk
that any proposal with parking on top of the sidewalk would seriously damage the number of spaces available once they were ordered"the proposal document states
The reason why parking on the sidewalk is not advantageous - apart from seriously impairing pedestrian mobility and accessibility - is that there are obstacles such as lamps
fire hydrants and electricity boxes that would force several spaces to be removed
That means that more than 30 places are lost"identified the neighbors
The citizens' proposal calls for 874 orderly places throughout the neighborhood
The three streets where parking has now been legitimized over the sidewalk would have spaces only on one side of the street and circulation on the other - this parking would be on the side of the street where there are fewer garage doors
allowing for not only the greatest number of spaces possible but also a calming measure within the neighborhood
a traffic lane would be removed to create a spine-shaped parking lot
The neighbors I could even go further and suggest spine parking on Avenida da Torre de Belém
where the circulation space is too wide and could easily be reduced
The residents' group counted 452 houses in the neighborhood
72 of which are corner houses and therefore have two parking spaces inside; the remaining 380 have just one space
there are 524 seats in the grounds of the houses
there will be a total of 904 cars in the neighborhood
the counts made by the neighbors showed that demand is lowerIn the middle of the pandemic
when people would be at home and travel would be minimal
an average of 607 cars were parked in the Restelo neighborhood; at most
the 874 seats proposed would be more than enough for all Restelo residents and there would still be more than 200 seats left over for visitors
the Neighbors of Bethlehem would create spaces on the street for all residents
But those who didn't want to park further away from their homes (even though we're only talking about a few meters) could put their car in the space they have in their house
benefiting from the space needed on the street for entry/exit maneuvers
since there would no longer be vehicles on both sides of the road to complicate this process
"The residents worked hard to draw street by street
on an aerial plan of each artery"is highlighted in the document
involving counts of parked cars at different times of the day
rigorous design for the preliminary study of the horizontal signage to be implemented and several long meetings with all the stakeholders."
The Neighbors of Bethlehem presented the proposal to the Junta and also to the Lisbon City Council during the previous term
the idea was never implemented and the discussion was lost among the offices
with the Belém Council and the Town Hall aligned on the same political color (PSD)
progress has been made on regulating two-wheeled parking on the sidewalk - a situation that is permitted by the Highway Code and the Traffic Signs Regulations
Tristão da Cunha and São Francisco Xavier streets
On March 25, the Junta de Belém announced on social mediaI am in the process of "planning parking in the Restelo district" with "installation of suitable temporary signs to allow vehicles to park on two-wheeled kerbs on both sides of the road"in the three streets mentioned
He added: "In view of this provisional adjustment
which is now being carried out urgently due to the difficult parking conditions in the area
vehicle drivers are asked to take the necessary precautions and care to leave space (about 1.20 meters) for pedestrians to circulate safely on the sidewalks
especially those in wheelchairs or pushing baby carriages."
But the 1.20 meters, the minimum legal width of a sidewalk in neighborhood streets (Decree-Law no. 163)
Many drivers put their cars up against the walls of the houses more than is necessary
perhaps for fear of being scratched on the side of their vehicles facing the road
there are other obstacles on the sidewalks
which make the neighborhood more difficult to access
The result is that it's better to walk along the road
where the maximum speed allowed is 40 km/h - even if you're in a residential area
the Junta de Freguesia believes that legalized parking on the sidewalk is a temporary measure while they work on a definitive solution
It was with this in mind that Fernando Ribeiro Rosa
called the residents of the neighborhood to a public session last Thursday evening
in the auditorium of the Centro Social de Belém
It was a six-hour session that lasted well into the night
Ribeiro Rosa reiterated that the Junta had to "to take a provisional and urgent measure because the Municipal Police have started fining people" and has always parked on the sidewalks of Restelo
The mayor regretted not having had any answers from the Medina-led council about this situation and criticized the neighbors' proposal for "take away half the parking lots"This is only true if you look at the three streets
once again presented the residents' group's proposal
stressing that "there's no point in ignoring the fact that there are different opinions on this situation and that there's only one way forward
Gonçalo explained that the study that came out of the Neighbors of Bethlehem was made with "residents of the neighborhood and only with residents of the neighborhood" and that
"it represents the stakeholders who have shown a willingness to contribute" to this issue
"These are just contributions from citizens
It's not an administrative decision or an opinion
a well-intentioned contribution focused on the future"he said
adding that understands the measure now taken by the Junta as "transitional measure"while there is no consensus between the population
for "to stop the enormous friction that existed with people on a daily basis"
"We expressed our agreement in the expectation that the path will continue."
Gonçalo had a "small victory"A consensus was reached between the Parish Council and Lisbon City Council
represented at the meeting by both the Municipal Mobility Department and the Council responsible for this area
to move forward with vertical and horizontal parking signs
in a part of the Restelo neighborhoodThis will be done on Rua Duarte Pacheco Pereira and Rua Soldados da Índia
two of the crossroads; and also on the whole of Rua Dom Francisco de Almeida and its respective squares (Damão
and the circular Rua Fernando Lopes de Castanheda
The aim will be to get cars off the sidewalks on these streets
which in the particular case of Rua Dom Francisco de Almeida will be very positive as it gives access to EB Bairro do Restelo and other educational establishments
If the neighbors moving forward as designed
175 spaces will be created on Rua Dom Francisco de Almeida (including the squares)
154 on Rua Duarte Pacheco Pereira and 229 on Rua Soldados da Índia
Counts carried out by residents on these streets identified 242 stalled vehicles
at least - the three streets where parking on the sidewalk has now been legalized and where
in order to clarify the 1.20 metres of channel space
markings can be made on the sidewalk (similar to what has been done on Avenida Almirante Gago Coutinho
Gonçalo believes that we shouldn't wait for a major redevelopment of the public spaces in the Restelo neighborhood
not only because of the financial cost that this would represent
but essentially because there are other areas in the parish of Belém and in the city of Lisbon that have higher priorities and money is scarce
The public session promoted by the Junta was marked by many voices against the solution implemented
One of the fears that people raised most was that it was now confusing to understand where you can park on the sidewalk with two wheels and where you can't
Fernando Ribeiro Rosa said that there was nothing he could do about it and that it was legal for people to look at the signs
Fernando Ribeiro Rosa said that there was nothing he could do about this and that what is signposted is legal and people should look at the signs

So, where should you eat in Lisbon? Before I visited the city for the first time, I knew very little of Portuguese cuisine (aside from pastel de natas
having been lucky enough to know the city intimately and learn its traditions
I am a keen champion of everything on offer
whether that's traditional dishes or a new twist
Most people visiting Lisbon will want to try some form of traditional food at one of the city’s tascas – typical casual eateries serving very local dishes such as bacalhau (salted cod) and prego or bifana (beef or pork sandwiches)
Those who are more familiar with the city or want to experience everything on offer
might prefer one of the many modern or Michelin-starred restaurants on offer
Lisbon’s food scene is varied and exciting – and you can go from knocking back ginjinha (cherry liqueur) with locals to sipping wine at a tasting menu within the space of 24 hours
these are the Lisbon restaurants I have personally tried and tested
and would recommend to anyone visiting the city (in no particular order)

O Velho EuricoBest Lisbon restaurant for: hanging with the locals
Walking into O Velho Eurico almost feels like you’ve stumbled upon a local secret; until you see the queue forming

is now filled to the brim every night with locals and tourists keen to enjoy a twist on classic Portuguese dishes
such as bacalhau (salted cod) and polvo (octopus)
but dishes are updated or changed relatively recently; on my most recent visit
I was particularly taken with the pastel de leitão (suckling pig pastry) and Borrego e castanhas (lamb and chestnuts)

Named as one of the Best New Restaurants in the World in CNT’s 2024 Hot List

Portugal is a place with impeccable produce
chef João Rodrigues thinks good ingredients are key
which is why you’ll see influence from around the world
Rodrigues told CNT: “I’m not attached to any one cuisine; I like what I like
What you cook is what you are – your experiences and your life”
This shows in everything from the menu to the old-school Portuguese canteen design of the restaurant (when we dined
there were TVs showing a Portugal football game
a touch I felt added a sense of camaraderie to the evening)
the star of the show was undoubtedly the Iberic pork presa
cooked with slightly crunchy edges and served simply with chips (a theory of mine: it’s impossible to find bad chips in Portugal)
from the tuna sashimi with trout roe to asparagus served with island cheese and a buttery
lemony sauce – and almost everything is sourced as locally as possible
The reality is that this is a simple restaurant with good dishes
and it’s clear the chefs are having as much fun building their dishes as diners do eating them

ArkheBest lisbon restaurant for: vegetarians
it feels a shame to introduce Arkhe as a vegetarian restaurant
The tasting menu is so varied here that if you weren’t to know beforehand
you’d probably reach the desserts before realising that you hadn’t eaten a morsel of meat or fish
given that Portuguese cuisine sways heavily towards carnivorous dishes
after a few days of (delicious) local meals
it can feel like a breath of fresh air to leave a restaurant without the heavy feeling that can come from overindulging in meat
That’s not to say you won’t feel suitably full after your tasting experience at Arkhe; you’ll choose between a five- or seven-course menu
Expect melon and cucumber soup with homemade basil oil
bell pepper with hollandaise sauce and homemade tortellini stuffed with different types of mushrooms
It’s well worth asking if you can choose a cheese plate from the produce stored in the wine cellar – not only are the cheeses (a mixture of local Portuguese and French
who is passionate about his produce) delicious
but here you can fully appreciate the vibe of the restaurant

tuna tartare with avocado and mango or moreish croquettes de crevette

Magnolia serves up warming tomato soup with cheese toast

CuraBest Lisbon restaurant for: gourmet dining
in an intimate space that can technically be accessed via the street (but the more fun entrance takes you through the grandeur of the hotel's lobby) is Cura; a restaurant that takes its name from the expression curadoria (the curators who take care of art)
And both the food and interiors live up to the name; the warming gold and blue palette of the restaurant is accented by Madeira wood panelling and bevelled mirrors
and the open kitchen is wondrously calm and fascinating to watch
is where chef Pedro Pena Bastos and his team put the finishes touches to their dishes
There are three tasting menus available; Meia Cura
All three make the most of Portugal’s wonderful ingredients
resulting in dishes such as freshly caught sea bass garnished with parsley and saffron
roasted seaweed butter and caviar or flavourful pumpkin with chanterelles
Worthy of mention in itself is the bread dish
which showcases the flavours of Portugal with butter from the Azores
The wine pairing is not to be missed; an ideal way to quickly zip around the country's many wine regions

relaxed and local while the menu is a twist on traditional; order the tuna tataki

2MonkeysBest Lisbon restaurant for: an intimate dining experience
There’s no shortage of tasting menus in Portugal, but it’s still one of my favourite ways to experience all the flavours of local cuisine, and you can’t beat the experience of whiling away an evening as various plates are placed in front of you, each one beautifully presented. 2Monkeys is found in the former wine cellar in Torel Palace (one of the best hotels in Lisbon
welcoming vibe and creative dishes from chefs Vítor Matos and Guilherme Spalk
who are so full of ideas that they change their menu almost consistently
dishes included juicy shrimp from the Algarve with buttermilk and dill oil
langoustine with textured carrot served with white wine
port and lemongrass sauce and foie gras with brioche and rhubarb
One of the best things about 2Monkeys is that it introduces high-quality fine dining in an environment that’s not stuffy or overly formal – there are just 14 seats
watching every dish being carefully created
Chefs are only too happy to talk through each dish as they plate up

Café do PaçoBest Lisbon restaurant for: an authentic experience
It’s highly unlikely that you’ll come across English-speaking tourists as you dine here
Café do Paço is something of an institution for locals
somewhat hidden on an unassuming street outside of the hustle and bustle of Baixa or Bairro Alto
You’ll need to ring a doorbell to gain entry
and the speakeasy feel continues when you see the interiors; all plush red booths and vintage pictures hung on the walls
Start with a very classic Portuguese couvert: bread
then follow up with some of the most-loved dishes in the country: an eggy
moreish Bacalhau à Brás (a dish made with salt cod
potatoes and eggs) and a Bitoque (steak topped with a fried egg) served with a creamy sauce
the Encharcada (soaked eggs) from Alentejo are a beautiful way to end the meal
Wash everything down with a glass of local wine
or ask your waiter for their recommendation – they’ll be only too happy to help
LocoBest Lisbon restaurant for: top-notch service
From the moment you step into Michelin-starred Loco
who take the time to greet you by name and talk you through the menu
is one of the best in Lisbon thanks to its impeccable attention to detail and inventive dishes
Diners work their way through an impressive 16 courses
since everything has been designed to be just right
from the snacks you start the meal with (oyster with coconut cream and chilli granita is undoubtedly one of the fanciest snacks I’ve eaten
but I certainly wasn’t mad about it) to the varied plates that just keep coming
If your goal is to try as many flavours as possible in one meal
this is the place for you – we ate everything from an ash pillow filled with potato to snails to wild lamb to octopus
The restaurant focuses on ‘micro seasonal’ ingredients
everything is made using what’s most in-season at that time
which contributes to the restaurant’s zero-waste ethic
This also lends itself to an excellent drinks menu; while the wines are local and delicious
there’s a great selection of juices and fermented drinks made in-house with leftover ingredients
and you’ll leave feeling fed in more ways than one

Restaurante BrilhanteBest Lisbon restaurant for: old-school glamour
you’ll almost certainly be spending time around the square that houses Time Out Market
Cais do Sodre train station and plenty of eateries
It can be hard to sort through the more tourist-focused options in this area
which is “reminiscent of the refinement of Lisbon's nineteenth-century cafés”
It is a perfect escape from the busy streets; stepping inside here feels a little like going back in time
Most of the seating occupies an oval shape around the kitchen in the centre of the room
but there’s none of the chaos that you might expect – in fact
it’s almost therapeutic to watch the chefs methodically preparing their dishes
two-person booths line the walls along the windows
with delicate fringed lampshades sitting above
I had possibly the most memorable butter of my life – perfectly smoky in flavour
with a hint of salt scattered on top – followed by a Bacalhau dish made with great chunks of cod
as opposed to the smaller scraps you find in some dishes
a dish inspired by the classic Bife à Marrare that was served at Lisbon’s famous cafés in the 19th century

Gunpowder LisboaBest Lisbon restaurant for: modern Indian cuisine
Londoners will likely know and love Gunpowder
where the brand already has three restaurants
But rather than move to another British city – Manchester
or Birmingham maybe – the brand decided to expand into a different country entirely
opening a Lisbon restaurant makes total sense when you see the menu
which is similar to the British one but with a Mediterranean twist; think Algarve oysters with pickled kachumber
big juicy wild Madagascar prawns with moreish roasted garlic & tomato dressing and grilled stone bass with green coorgi sauce
all available for you to select from the window display of fish
there are the classics available too – their delicious
crispy prawn toast and show-stopping spicy lamb and vermicelli doughnut
Served with a selection of stunning local wines

Sala de CorteBest Lisbon restaurant for: steak
If you’re hungry for steak, you won’t find better than the impeccable cuts at Sala de Corte, which recently ranked number 34 in the list of the 50 World's Best Steakhouses
There’s an impressive offering available – from Chateaubriand to Japanese Wagyu all selected from from bovine breed producers with certified origin – and each is cooked to perfection on the restaurant's Josper grill
With steaks as the focus of the restaurant (and no other meat dishes available)
it would be easy to neglect starters and side dishes
but Sala de Corte manages to make everything on the menu as memorable as their wonderful steak cuts
The baked rice with smoked sausages is a must-try; rich
it's the ideal accompaniment alongside the asparagus and mushrooms

Lota Sea & FireBest Lisbon restaurant for: modern seafood
It's fair to say that there hasn't been a lot of competition for Lisbon's seafood king
most restaurants serve up some version of oysters and prawns
but finding a place with a pure seafood menu isn't as easy as you'd imagine
So Lota Sea & Fire is very much welcome in Campo Pequeno
a neighbourhood on the outskirts of town where locals live and dine
and with a menu headed up by superstar chef Hugo Candeias (whose work at Oficio has left a lasting impression) Lota Sea & Fire is an unusual juxtaposition of styles; from the interiors
which are styled like a seafood market and beach bar
with chic interior touches including striped sofas and hanging lamps
to the dishes which are a deliberate balance of new and traditional
then follow up with the impeccable squid ink paella
And much like Oficio has done with its cheesecake
this place is making a name for itself in the dessert space too; the chocolate mousse with Madeira wine shouldn't be missed

Palacio do GriloBest Lisbon restaurant for: something totally unique
There’s nothing quite like Palacio do Grilo in Lisbon

Parisian Julien Labrousse bought the palacio in 2020
and knew he wanted to do something different
He set to work creating a restaurant in the middle of a living theatre
and there’s a good chance your dish will become almost-forgotten as you watch the show
That's not to say the food isn't memorable; burrata and pumpkin with crispy sage is a stunning way to start the meal
followed by lamb loin with pistachio paloise and goose fat potatoes
Just be sure you leave time after dinner to explore the other rooms in the palace

casual fine dining restaurant in arguably the most food-focused district in Lisbon
with a focus on seasonal produce and zero waste
but there’s a tendency to lean toward veggie-heavy dishes – expect sweet potato served with coconut tiger milk and kaffir lime

so you can be pleasantly surprised by each dish

UN study names the Brazilian cities that dispose of the most plastic waste and the rivers that transport it
Towns and river networks in the interior of Brazil have been examined in an attempt to determine the origins of the plastic bottles
and other plastic materials polluting the sea along the Brazilian coastline
In an analysis released in October by Blue Keepers
a project that is part of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact’s Water and Ocean Action Platform in Brazil
seven cities without marine beaches—Manaus
and Contagem—were identified as the biggest sources of plastic waste that reaches the sea
In addition to these are coastal cities from Belém in the North to Porto Alegre in the South
including two state capitals near the coast: São Paulo and Curitiba
which took a number of factors into account
and other indicators detailed in an article published in the Journal of Environmental Management in October
identified northern Brazil as one of the biggest sources of plastic waste in the environment
One potential explanation is a lack of recycling centers and the vast hydrographic network in the region
in addition to parts of the Midwest and the South
“The movement of plastics towards rivers and the sea depends a lot on rainfall
a researcher at IO and UNESCO Chair for Ocean Sustainability at the IEA
when the preliminary results of the survey were presented at the Oceanic Culture Dialogues conference held in Santos
the wind can carry waste from sanitary landfills situated on riverbanks
“The problem is not just with coastal populations, but also with the interior of the country; we need to take this information into every Brazilian’s home to prevent plastic waste from reaching the sea,” said Gabriela Otero, coordinator of Blue Keepers. The two main goals of this UN project are to reduce the amount of plastic reaching the coast of Brazil and to strengthen solid waste management in 100 Brazilian municipalities by 2030.
Alexandre AffonsoPriority cities The first city to be monitored is Rio de Janeiro
Measures to reduce the amount of plastic waste are part of the Ocean Decade objectives established by the UN in 2020
It is estimated that 150 million tons of plastic are circulating in marine waters worldwide today
each Brazilian throws out an average of 16 kilograms of plastic per year
much of which presents a high risk of reaching the sea
Higher volumes were recorded in municipalities on the South and Southeast coast with large populations that increase during the summer months and public holidays
The survey also found that 3.4 million tons of plastic discarded by Brazilians reach the ocean each year
equivalent to 47.8% of the 7.1 million tons of plastic processed in the country in 2021
according to the Brazilian Association for the Plastic Industry (ABIPLAST)
The study indicated that plastic waste collection should be considered regionally rather than at the level of the municipality
but could be the destination of unwanted materials
environmental secretary for the city of Santos
We need to work together with the other nine municipalities in the Baixada Santista region.”
the population of Santos increases from 433,000 residents to around 1.5 million in the sunny summer months
with the volume of plastic products reaching the sea also increasing as a result
In campaigns carried out between autumn 2019 and summer 2020
a team of researchers from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP)
the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE)
and the Blue Sea Institute (IMA) picked up 62,638 items of litter from the city’s beaches
including polystyrene foam used in packaging
as described in a study published in Marine Pollution Bulletin in February 2021
and disposing of waste in an environmentally friendly manner over the next 20 years
74.4% of Brazilian municipalities had implemented recyclable waste collection to some extent
which is one way to achieve these objectives
but 25.6% continued to dispose of all waste without any sorting
according to the 2021 Solid Waste Report by the Brazilian Association of Public Cleaning and Special Waste Companies (ABRELPE)
and Geosciences at Brazil’s Ministry of Science
highlights that there are still no rules on managing plastic already dumped in the environment

Latin America holds the ignominious distinction of having the most cities on Mexico's Citizens' Council for Public Security's annual ranking of the world's most violent cities for 2016
The council's ranking contains cities with populations of more than 300,000 and does not count deaths in combat zones or cities with unavailable data
so some dangerous cities don't appear on the list
the Council has determined homicide rates through estimates based on incomplete data
the government has not consistently released homicide data (though it did this year)
the Council made an estimate based on entries at the Bello Monte morgue — though
that morgue receives bodies from an area much larger than Caracas itself

The fashionable city of Lisbon / Wikicommons Editorial Team 26 September 2018, 17:20Lisbon, the capital of Portugal known as the ‘City of Seven Hills’, is an up and coming European destination these days. Portugal is in fashion, and nowhere more so than Lisbon, so today idealista/news is running down the 10 things you absolutely cannot afford to miss while you’re there.
Parque Eduardo VII / WikipediaNamed after King Edward VII of England to strengthen ties between the two countries, the park is located next to the Marquês de Pombal square is a great starting point for any tour of the city. It is well worth a walk through its landscaped gardens and grounds, as well as its beautiful Estufa Fria greenhouse.
Avenida da Liberdade / WikipediaThe main thoroughfare in the centre of Lisbon is the tree-lined ‘Liberty Avenue’, an unmissable stop on your visit. On this landmark street, luxury shopping outlets meet 19th-century palaces and Art Nouveau constructions all the way from the Praça Marquês de Pombal square to the Rossio.
Plaza del Comercio / WikipediaFrom the Rossio, also known as the Pedro IV Square, make your way down to the Praça do Comercio, Lisbon’s main plaza where the royal palace once stood. Today, this impressive square is framed on one side by the estuary of the Tagus river and on another by the awesome Rua Augusta arch, with a statue of King Joseph I of Portugal standing proud in the middle.
Río Tajo / WikipediaBy the time it reaches Lisbon, the enormous Tagus estuary itself is already half sea, and sometimes you can even spot dolphins leaping through its waters. It is the very life of the city, where the people of Lisbon come to walk, fish, cycle and meet up to socialise. The 6-mile, 10-kilometre, walk from the Praça do Comercio to the Belém Tower is priceless and a great way to see the city.
Tranvía de Lisboa / WikipediaAfter all that walking up and down central Lisbon, you might be tired. Luckily, the city bears a resemblance to San Francisco in more than just its bridge – it too has a network of beautiful, old trams to take you from one end of the spectacular city to the other via the steep slopes, wondering at the sights and sounds from the comfort of your seat. A particularly recommendable route is to go from Estrela Park in the direction of St. Jorge Castle.
Castilo de San Jorge / WikipediaThe medieval castle of Saint George in Lisbon, standing halfway between the Rossio and the Praça do Comercio, provides a great 360-degree vantagepoint over the whole city from its Tower of Ulysses, plus the chance to walk through the historic neighbourhoods of Alfama and Morería.
Mirador San Pedro de Alcántara / WikipediaAlso near the Rossio, but on the opposite side from the castle, is the Miradouro Alcântara in the São Pedro Gardens. Go at any time of day to take in some unbeatable views from these beautiful and luxurious green spaces. Other recommendable viewpoints in the city include the Graça and the Senhora do Monte.
Museo Fundación Gulbekian / WikipediaDouble back to this museum, just to the north of the Eduardo VII Park, which houses spacious and secluded gardens and is the perfect place for an outing with the children. The various museum spaces host ancient and modern works of art both indoors and out, and the auditorium always has something interesting to see or a new concert to listen to.
The monastery of the Hieronymites in Lisbon, near to the Belém Tower, is a great example of the Manueline architectural style. Instead of the usual crosses and saints, you can admire ropes, plants and navigational instruments intricately carved into the stonework of this calm and attractive monument in the city centre.
