Portugal’s capital bears the brunt of its tourism (though we’re big fans of Porto ourselves) Many of the city’s older neighborhoods have undergone dramatic revitalization Long-time residents decry that revitalization and home-sharing are not only leading to over-tourism but paving over much of the history and culture that made Lisbon so charming to visit in the first place you probably aren’t flying all the way to Europe to eat in a restaurant that looks like Los Angeles Take a 10-minute ferry ride across the Tagus and you’ll be greeted at the dock by grandmas in cheerful floral dresses enticing you with fresh fruits and veggies grown on their plots further inland Most visitors come over in the late afternoon and catch the 101 bus up to the famed Jesus statue more likely they head back to their Airbnb. But it’s well worth going off the tourist path and lingering in Almada Almada has a down-to-earth neighborhood vibe populated by an older Spend a day ducking into humble shops specializing in cheese And with four distinct areas to explore -- Cacilhas and Bairro Pombal -- there’s plenty of things to do in Almada between meals Almada immediately brings one thing to mind -- eating seafood along the waterfront in Cacilhas The neighborhood is a direct link to Lisbon’s shipbuilding seagoing past (the nearby Lisnave shipyards were once the country’s biggest employer) the pedestrian-only Rua Candido dos Reis is lined with seafood restaurants You’ll find multi-generational Portuguese families and couples dining in the area often with a primo view of Lisbon across the river. from simple neon-lit rooms with laminated menus to elegant white-tablecloth joints with wall-to-wall seafood on display Grab a table and order a cataplana de marisco a traditional Portugeuse dish in which shellfish like clams and mussels are cooked in a copper pan (cataplana) along with onions The seafood here is ridiculously fresh | Mercado da RomeiraIn season sardinhas assadas (sardines cooked on an outside grill) are plentiful Polvo is another local favorite: octopus served whole or grilled and cut into pieces and eaten as a salad choose a prato de frutos do mar (a seafood platter). and clams -- but you must try percebes at least once tube-like shellfish are also known as gooseneck barnacles It takes a bit of work to eat them but they’re totally worth it (and they Instagram well) Head to the Cova da Piedade neighborhood and eat your way through the Mercado da Romeira, a former cork factory that was abandoned for 60 years. Set in a gritty stretch of warehouses, it’s like a smaller version of Lisbon’s uber-popular Time Out Market Half a dozen outlets offer everything from traditional Portuguese fare to American smoked ribs (maybe skip these) to vegetarian and vegan delights made from produce grown by the owner’s parents Inside the Mercado da Romeira | Mercado da RomeiraBuild up your strength with secretos de porco preto grelhados (a plate of thinly sliced succulent grilled Ibreian pork) and a glass of Portuguese wine Or tuck into a beer and petiscos -- battered and fried snacks with bacalhau (cod) or caracol (snails) when they’re in season There’s live music most nights and on weekend afternoons to help you dance off your food coma A few blocks from the Mercado da Romeira, impressive street art by Portuguese artists decorates warehouse walls and pays tribute to the area’s naval history. In one gigantic piece, a little girl holds a Transtejo ferry in her hand. On another wall, a glittering whale breaks the surface of the water. A piece by local artist Vaso Maio depicts a smiling fisherman patiently waiting for a catch some have been converted to cater to younger Lisbonites moving to the area Gentrification is beginning south of the river where temporary exhibits range from the history of the 10th century Arab invasions to the glory days of Portuguese rock’n’roll Originally the house of a quinta (farm) of the same name the main building is believed to date to the 17th or 18th century Today you’ll find contemporary art exhibitions in its rooms There’s also a chapel decorated with Biblical scenes made from azulejo (Portuguese tiles) an unmarked door off of reception leads to a gorgeous garden and some of the best views of the Tagus.

there are even much prettier places to eat grilled sardines right here in Cacilhas with A Petisqueira (“The Snackery” or maybe “The Snack Shop”?) on its awning is the best because I found it and I loved it I came to Lisbon to see if I could get to the heart of why this city is the new “It” destination and why Portuguese is the new “It” cuisine that’s having such a big Moment on the world’s culinary stage I should take this opportunity to make clear that I had no idea that Portuguese food had suddenly become so cool because I have a 20-month-old baby and I have stopped caring about most things that sound like that last sentence But I assured the editors at this magazine that I could handle the assignment and now it’s too late for them to do anything about it along and we ditched our baby with the grandparents to give it our best shot and the guy in the Corona hat has no idea that he is the chef at the best restaurant in the city let alone the restaurant at the epicenter of one of the most exciting food trends because his restaurant is totally unremarkable in Lisbon an American magazine says this is the best restaurant in Lisbon!” he would probably call to his wife who works the register and is always busting his balls about how they’ll pay rent or how they’ll keep their daughter from marrying Carlinhos the Uber driver who has no interest in working at the store and he’ll sit down in a chair next to the grill and say The best!” Only he’ll say it in Portuguese and then he’ll take off his Corona hat to wipe his brow flip the rack that is holding ten plump sardines for his buddies that came in for lunch it would be the bifana: thin slices of griddled pork on a squishy bun Lisbon is full of tiny cobblestone streets that open up to the occasional grand boulevard or ridiculously beautiful panoramic view of the river and sometimes people smoke cigarettes in nice restaurants and instead of Vespas there are tuk tuks (basically motorcycles with minivans on the back But I couldn’t shake the feeling that if many people in Lisbon are thrilled that literal exponential increases in tourists have done something good for the hospitality industry there are just as many watching their beloved Lisbon get spruced up and sanitized at the expense of the people who actually live there It doesn’t take long wandering around Alfama and seeing a few of the tags that say “Tourists Suck,” or some less elegant suggestions for what Airbnb should do scrawled on the walls of adorable alleys to understand that being trendy can take a toll But you need to walk only a little farther down that adorable alley to find an old lady sitting in a doorway selling shots of ginjinha you are my grandson now and I love you,” to feel welcome and a little drunk and like you are exactly where you need to be at that moment Or get a beer and petisco (which is a category of snack or a combination of those three things) while staring up at a castle and try to figure out how not to go back to New York City We hadn’t come up with an answer before we got hungry again, so we went to Cantinho do Aziz and her tiny restaurant in the Mouraria neighborhood serves food that is influenced by a few of the countries that were colonized by the Portuguese Empire And while it’s tempting to act like a food writer and suggest I know exactly the historical gastronomic path that brought palm oil and green plantains into the sensational shrimp stew called miamba wa macua a chutney-like spread of mashed onions and cilantro maybe this is the best restaurant in Lisbon Though I don’t think this is the food that Bon Appétit was talking about when they asked for this article but because even I would have noticed if Mozambican-Goan-influenced Portuguese food was having a Moment since that would frankly be one of the coolest things ever Clams with garlic sauce at Cervejaria Ramiro A lot of people would tell you that the best restaurant in Lisbon is Cervejaria Ramiro It’s like the Peter Luger of seafood restaurants boasts a menu of extremely simple seafood preparations You are invited to get drunk while you wait a long time to be seated you are hustled into a very brightly lit room with long communal tables where a waiter seems surprised that you don’t know what you want to eat and then you are brought what look like cartoon versions of the most beautiful crustaceans and mollusks you’ve ever eaten in your life: tiny shrimp sizzling in a ton of olive oil with garlic threatening to get too dark; enormous shrimp and with a bottle of mayonnaise that tasted more exciting than mayonnaise and there is a middle section about two inches long that is also full of meat and the head has some guts and a lot more meat It’s like a lobster but with extra lobster in it This is the kind of seafood excitement that happens at Ramiro I said I didn’t realize that Portuguese food was cool What I also didn’t realize until I got to Lisbon was how little the people in Lisbon seem to care they are not interested in telling you about which fisherman caught that crab or how it is prepared sitting next to a tank of enormous rock lobsters and every time one is pulled out she gets splashed a little and you love her a little bit more each time even though you are also mentally reminding yourself to wash your hands if you happen to touch her beautiful hair and then your rock lobster comes out and it is so magnificent and full of extra lobster And you just can’t write all of that on a menu We walked in while Portugal was playing Iran in the World Cup and everybody in Lisbon was in the Praça do Comércio The owner jokingly invited us to sit in the back and watch the game with him and his cook not realizing that for the purposes of this story and also because I enjoy sitting and drinking in the backs of restaurants with the staff He got me to try some port without the tonic and it was wonderful As was his rendition of cod with chickpeas which involved boiling the salt cod before giving it a good drizzle of olive oil and serving it with chickpea purée and toast While everybody in Portugal was watching the world’s most popular sport I was consuming Portugal’s favorite things Among the almost comically perfect crustaceans at Ramiro: these giant prawns and which is conveniently located in the heart of Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood it won’t be as good as the one I had at the best restaurant in Lisbon: O Magano The restaurant had white tablecloths and different shapes of wine glasses and every customer was smoking cigarettes The porto tónicos were big and juicy and so perfect alongside a fava bean and Portuguese sausage salad that I almost flipped the table over and walked out (does that ever happen to you?) We stayed for the grilled fish for two (we asked for a smaller portion and got grilled fish for four to six instead) and for dessert we ordered a cake-shaped thing that tasted like layers of raw egg yolk thickened with sugar and it was incredible even though it sounds a bit disgusting But O Magano was not cool in the way that trendy things like windbreakers are cool (sorry I just realized that I don’t have any idea what is cool!) It was deeply cool because it was not trying to be cool The iconic egg tarts at Pastéis de Belém Anybody who has ever been to Portugal will tell you all about them the moment you mention that you are considering going to Portugal and they are one of the coolest pastries I’ve ever had The pastry has a flaky crust and is filled with a sweet eggy custard that has been baked pretty dark almost like crème brûlée inside a croissant and I challenge you to describe something that sounds more delicious than that When asked what else we should try at Lisbon’s most famous old pastéis de nata bakery the cashier suggested I try a pastel de bacalhau a cod fritter that was served a little warmer than room temperature And if a room-temp cod fritter for breakfast sounds better to you than crème brûlée in a croissant then you are a lot more like me than you realize We walked around and stopped at a little fruit store and I tried to buy one perfect and tiny apricot and the lady just gave it to me because she didn’t feel like making change and I asked her to be my grandmother but she didn’t speak English and Katherine agreed that it was a very delicious apricot pastéis de bacalhau are exceptional and I wish that they would come have a Moment at a place near my apartment in Brooklyn It’s on a quiet street near the top of the hill in Graça Damas felt cooler than any place we’d been on the trip with a hip café up front and a music venue in the back We ate a bowl of shell-on shrimp covered in garlic and chiles and with a lime to squeeze We also had a dish of veal with a giardiniera-like mix of pickled carrots which wasn’t super hard to do as I was wearing some little vacation-y ankle socks June 13 (Bloomberg) — A high-speed ferry en route to Macau from Hong

17-year-old Fremont boy on state Highway 17 early Saturday was arraigned Wednesday in Santa Clara County Superior Court has been charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and felony DUI causing injury in the crash that killed Armando Canales and injured four other victims Oliver appeared in court in San Jose in a wheelchair after being hospitalized for major injuries from the crash and did not enter a plea Both Oliver's and Canales' families were present at Wednesday's hearing rose from their seats to show Judge Ronald Toff that they were in attendance Oliver faces a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison despite initial pushback from Deputy District Attorney Heather Melton who wanted her held on no-bail status Melton said after the arraignment that Toff's decision was reasonable "I'm completely broken -- he was my everything," said Tina Cacilhas who was in favor of no bail and wants a maximum sentence for Oliver Cacilhas said she last spoke to her son at about 11:30 p.m after he had gone to hang out with friends and asked to spend the night She said he always checked in when he was late Canales was a junior and a football player at Washington High School, and a fire technology student at Mission Valley Regional Occupational Program. A GoFundMe donation page at https://www.gofundme.com/arman set up for his funeral expenses has raised over $16,000 of its $10,000 goal this week. "She took my son's life, and all my son ever wanted was to be was a firefighter," Cacilhas said. "His life was taken way too short, didn't get to get his license, didn't get to see graduation, everything just down the drain." Canales was riding in the backseat of a Toyota Corolla with four other people at about 2 a.m. when the car was hit head-on by Oliver, according to the California Highway Patrol. She was driving the wrong way on southbound Highway 17 just south of Redwood Estates in unincorporated Santa Clara County, and Melton said her blood alcohol content was above the legal level. "As a mother, my heart breaks for Tina Cacilhas," Melton said. "The loss of Armando is immeasurable." The case is still under investigation by the CHP. Oliver is being represented by the county public defender's office and will next appear in court for a plea hearing on May 23. Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:37:46 GMT — A Utica man is facing a slew of charges following a domestic dispute. It happened around 5:45 a.m. Saturday in the Williams Trailer Park in the Town of Bridgewater. Justin Cacilhas, of Lenox Avenue, is charged with assault, strangulation, criminal mischief, unlawful imprisonment and unlawful possession of marijuana. Cacilhas was arraigned in the Town of Bridgewater Court and sent to the Oneida County Jail in lieu of $20,000 cash/bond. He is scheduled to reappear back in court tonight. Windsor police are now investigating their ninth murder of the year A 36-year-old man, who fell from the Ivy Rose hotel balcony on Howard Avenue early Monday morning, has now passed away. Police were called when the man was critically injured after allegedly being dropped from the second floor of the building. Sergeant Steve Betteridge says police quicky determined a crime had been committed. "Originally it was, somebody had dropped from a balcony and from that, an investigation was launched to find out what happened and early on, it was determined there could be a criminal element involved with this," he says. Robert Legebow, 19, of Windsor has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder. The ninth murder investigation came just two days after police were investigating a death early Saturday. Officers were called to an apartment building at 395 University Ave. E. near McDougall St. for a sick or injured person at around 4am Saturday. When they arrived, they found 37-year-old Windsor man dead and showing, "obvious signs of trauma." Investigators tracked down two suspects Saturday. Windsor's Lamar Day, 28, is charged with first degree murder and forcible confinement. Raheem Washington, a 25-year-old man from Windsor, is charged with first degree murder, forcible confinement, and numerous charges for breaching conditions and failing to appear in court.

The cycle path linking Cacilhas to Cova da Piedade, along Avenida Aliança Povo MFA, was improved at the beginning of the year. The municipality put up bollards and painted the intersections, but those who use bicycles as a means of transportation would have liked to have seen more ambitious work. Between very close to the Cacilhas transport terminal and the urban area of Cova da Piedade/Centro Sul, there is a cycle path that is either on the road or on the sidewalk, shared with pedestrians. The trail was created more than two decades ago and a section of it was recently refurbished by Almada Town Council, following a Participatory Budget. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Câmara Municipal de Almada (@cmalmada) it is essential to improve bicycle circulation between Cacilhas and Cova da Piedade/Centro Sul "two important public transport hubs"with which two wheels can interact and complement each other "We need to radically improve the safety conditions on this route which are currently non-existent"points to FFP "That was the reason for the Participatory Budgeting proposal." Margarida called for the rehabilitation of the cycle route between Cacilhas and Centro Sul but also through the sections where the cycle path is on the sidewalk sharing (and conflicting) with pedestrians differentiated and raised road surface was suggested so that it wouldn't blend in with the road and would allow for efficient water drainage "It will allow people of all ages to cycle safely and comfortably between the residential areas of Cova da Piedade as well as improving the tourism offer in the municipality."Margarida wrote in the text of the proposal the 30-year-old believes that "sustainable mobility is a prerequisite for the attractiveness and success of any municipality" and he has no doubt that there is a safe corridor between Cacilhas and the South Center "it will motivate a large number of future practitioners" "The demand for sustainable mobility has had greater support in other municipalities visible with the adaptation of existing roads to these new forms of light mobility The redevelopment of Avenida Aliança Povo MFA meets some of the objectives of the Participatory Budget and was framed within this framework with a dedicated budget of around 50,000 euros; but it is still a less ambitious project than the original proposal to establish a continuous and coherent corridor along a central area of the municipality of Almad the rehabilitated section "it doesn't even reach the Cacilhas transport interface And they say: "It's an infrastructure that becomes insecure because it doesn't connect anything to anything." They criticize the fact that nothing has been done to solve one of the infrastructure's long-standing problems: the shortcomings in terms of rainwater drainage the bike lane is the only part of the avenue that gets flooded making it difficult for bikes to circulate even on sunny days "The improvement of the cycle path should take this into account because in winter cyclists often ride on the road due to the cycle path being flooded"they point out "One of the improvements we've noticed is that with the installation of the bollards there seems to be a perception that the road is less wide and the buses go at a lower speed than 60/70kmh."they note One of the most substantial criticisms is the fact that when Largo de Cacilhas was redeveloped and completed in 2023 there was no direct cycle connection to the river and bus terminal a group of urban cyclists from Almada sent the council recommendations to this effect but received no response from the municipality where the abusive parking of cars on top of a cycling counter-flow has effectively disabled connectivity between Cacilhas and Cova da Piedade/Parque da Paz/Centro Sul "We need to raise awareness and work on solutions with residents and local businesses (car repair shops WeMob should intensify and extend its enforcement hours so that sidewalks aren't always occupied by cars." Anyone who uses a bicycle to get around the municipality of Almada whether or not they do so in conjunction with public transport would like to feel that the municipality is committed to the national targets for cycling mobility set out in the National Strategy for Active Cycling Mobility (ENMAC) You have no doubt that "will not reach the ENMAC targets which foresee a 4% share of cycling trips in the city of Almada by 2025 and 10% by 2030" it will rehabilitate the axis between Trafaria and Costa da Caparica as well as the such as the axis between Cacilhas which includes this stretch of Avenida Aliança Povo MFA MB Way: 933 140 217 (indicar “LPP”) Ou clica aqui Podes escrever-nos para [email protected] O LPP / Lisbon For People é um jornal local dedicado à cidade e à área metropolitana de Lisboa editado de forma totalmente independente e sem fins lucrativos ' + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.webview_notification_text + ' " + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.redirect_overlay_title + " " + scriptOptions._localizedStrings.redirect_overlay_text + " You are using an outdated browser.

A comparison between the old timetables and the new (which will be temporary) allows you to visualize this reduction: in the most critical period of the morning there will be 22 boats between Almada and Lisbon when before there were 30 A reduction of 27% which may make a difference in the lives of many passengers that in practice some of the scheduled timetables were already not taking place as Lisboa Para Pessoas heard from some passengers The new schedules will show that the existing problems at TTSL are more permanent and less temporary - at least for a month. It is known that the river operator has had significant difficulties in fleet and employee levelsThis has made it impossible for the company to guarantee regular service between the two banks of the Tagus 3250 careers in Transtejo will have been suppressed due to inoperable ships and around 1750 careers due to the lack of workers Coastal and Merchant Marine Transport Union (STFCMM) said that "in 2018 the Transtejo Softlusa fleet together totaled 26 ships 19 pontoons and nine passenger access terminals there are only 14 operational ships and 12 certified pontoons (many are no longer certified) either by aging or unrecoverable breakdowns The remaining ships serve as parts for those in operation" Back to the day-to-day. Until next June 22nd, the new schedules between Lisbon (Cais do Sodré) and Almada (Cacilhas) are The changes do not affect the weekend days and holidays whose schedules remain the same and whose offer is now similar to that of weekdays Note that even though, according to the Carris Metropolitana websiteno changes were made to the lines serving Cacilhas to match the bus departures to the new temporary arrival times of the boats at the river terminal as well as MTS and Fertagus may be alternatives to river transport to get from Almada to Lisbon (or vice versa) Podes escrever-nos para [email protected] although there is room for 12 more in the hold says that the new fleet will allow the "transport of a minimum of 20 bicycles" and that there is no point in messing with the current supply Only when the fleet of TTSL (Transtejo/Soflusa) cacilheiros is renewed will bicycle transportation between Almada and Lisbon be reinforced In a clarification from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Action it was learned that "the future electric catamaran fleet is expected to transport a minimum of 20 bicycles on each regular trip depending on the increase in the need for bicycle transportation" Although bicycles are allowed and free of charge between the two banks of the Tagus on the public boats of TTSL (Transtejo/Soflusa) On the catamarans that make the connection between Barreiro it is already possible to take nine bicycles these limits on the number of bicycles allowed may vary depending on the vessels that are put into service 14 bicycles can already be transported; but in the case of catamarans Pedro Nunes e Cesário Verde making the connection between Seixal or Montijo and Lisbon the limitation drops from nine to six bicycles Only on the ferries that make the Trafaria - Porto Brandão - Belém line is it possible to transport a few dozen bicycles: 30 to be concrete But that's if you don't have the misfortune to catch a ferry with room for only four cyclists According to the Ministry headed by Duarte Cordeiro characteristics and operating specificities it can carry up to four bicycles on each regular trip"In special situations such as mobility events or sporting events TTSL usually extends the limit to 20 bicycles per trip "It does not seem feasible in the short term to increase the legal capacity in force given the last maritime operational resources and the technical constraints in the maintenance of the current fleet which will be discontinued in the near future with the entry into operation of the future electric catamaran fleet."The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Action also reports On October 6thIn a statement thirteen Socialist MEPs left four questions for Duarte Cordeiro including "what is being done to increase the capacity for transporting bicycles on vessels" and if "considers the Government to reinforce the crew or adapt existing vessels to increase the capacity to transport bicycles" Members argued that "The vessels that transport citizens from Cacilhas to Cais do Sodré were adapted in 2015 and are authorized by the Directorate-General for Natural Resources Safety and Maritime Services (DGRM) to carry four bicycles in forward gangways plus 12 bicycles in the vessel's hold room the use of the hold room is only allowed with an extra crew member to support the loading and unloading of bicycles through the stairs to the hold it would be essential to ensure that either the crew is reinforced or that the vessels are adapted so that the DGRM license allows transport without the need to reinforce the crew". the transport of bicycles on the cacilheiros is limited to four vehicles because only the forward portal is available for that purposeand not also the ship's hold room - where a TTSL crew member would be needed for the operation an environmental engineer and cycling commuter says he has even taken his bike in the hold of the cacilheiros "They only let you when they have an extra worker on that shift to help specifically with the descent into the basement which has to be requested in advance"tells Lisboa Para Pessoas and they made that limitation: you need a worker to help maybe because the stairs are so steep and because they have to put a little ramp/climb." "Transtejo is required to adapt its current and future fleet to the needs of these users by increasing the number of bicycles allowed per vessel." If TTSL's ferries could each carry at least 12 more bikes - i.e a total of 16 bikes per trip - already today the ministry that oversees the river company wants to get rid of the bikes We are talking about 10 electric propulsion vessels being specifically designed for TTSL's operating needsThey are the result of a specific execution project The contract for the supply of the new boats was signed with the Asturian shipyard Gondán in February 2021 following an international public tender launched in early 2020 Initially, the first electric catamaran was scheduled to arrive in April this year and three more by the end of the year but, sccording to statements made by TTSL to the Lusa agency earlier this monththe first four ships are due to be delivered between December this year and June 2023Another four by the end of 2023 and the last two in 2024 the entry into service of the new electric catamarans "will take place after their arrival and the formation of their crews" TTSL will still need to have the batteries for the boats and the charging stations on its side - both acquisitions are already contracted as recently assured by the Secretary of State for Urban Mobility "We believe that during the year 2023 the renewal of Transtejo's fleet will happen I don't know if we will be able to have the 10 ships here but we believe that a large part of it will arrive"he told MPs at a hearing to discuss the draft state budget for 2023 Podes escrever-nos para [email protected].

The fire that broke out on Tuesday (21 January) night and destroyed a restaurant on Cabana do Pescador Beach, in Costa da Caparica, Almada municipality, was declared under control at 00:10 today. The commander of the Cacilhas Volunteer Firefighters, Maximino Viegas, highlighted in statements to journalists at the scene that the fire was declared under control at 00:10 today and that the operators would move on to the aftermath phase. "The resources will be used until there is no longer any active flame, then the debris will be removed," he said at 00:30 today, saying that 48 operators, supported by 17 vehicles, were on site. Maximino Viegas highlighted that when the resources were called to the fire, which was reported at 10:25 pm on Tuesday, the space was already completely engulfed in flames. The restaurant is located close to the beach, which made access difficult, he added. Asked by journalists if the fire started because of the storm, the fire chief highlighted that it is up to the entities to carry out the investigation now.

The development plan for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA) issued by the central government in February said the GBA will establish 12 service centers for Hong Kong and Macau’s young entrepreneurs to start their business and innovation. “The GBA gives me hope that the metropolitan network can provide ideal resource, such as sufficient employees, broad market and production partner,” said a young entrepreneur in Macau. At 8:00 am local time, when most Macau residents just wake up for their day, Lei Zhen already left his home at Estrada de Cacilhas (Road Cacilhas), eastern Macau Peninsula for his company in neighboring city of Zhuhai. One hour later, he arrived at his office at Zhuhai National Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone, where he had set up Zhuhai Nanometals Technology to develop nano flexible transparent conductive material. Graduated from School of Material Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University, Lei chose to set his startup in Zhuhai, a city not far from home and supportive of his career. “The life in Macau is quite similar to other Chinese cities, in terms of daily life, food and culture. Macau SAR government has many policies to support startups, but it’s better to set up the lab and manufacture base in Zhuhai,” Lei said. Lei has been a member of Macao Young Entrepreneur Incubation Centre for years and received legal, financial and operational assistance for his nano products. He had won innovation champions in regional and national contests, and a world champion of 2018 Alibaba Startup Contest. However, he found that Macao’s business environment is not suitable for high-tech manufacture. “Thanks to the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA), I have more choice and room in Macao and Zhuhai as a converging area.” In Zhuhai, his company can access all beneficial policies and regulations designed to encourage startups and high-tech innovation, and most importantly the strong supply chain in Guangdong Province, a hub of China’s manufacture industry. The development plan for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao GBA issued by the central government in February said the GBA will establish 12 service centers for Hong Kong and Macao’s young entrepreneurs to start their business and innovation. Governments of Guangdong Province and Macau SAR held a meeting in May this year and decided to form a task group to support Guangdong and Macao’s young startups with promotions and resources. From July 1, Zhuhai has included Macao residents who currently live in Zhuhai’s Hengqin District into its medical insurance policy. In July, Dongguan, a Guangdong city adjacent to Shenzhen, has issued new policies in its Songshanhu Hi-tech Zone for Hong Kong and Macao talents, including incubation center, intellectual property protection, business partner matching, and housing. Macao student Ng Hoi Ching is now a sophomore in School of Journalism and Communication, Renmin University of China. She chose an incubation center for young startups in Guangzhou for internship this summer, as a product operator in a smart system company.” The GBA has many institutional innovations, such as Macau residents can participate in health and social insurance, or apply for civil servants in Guangdong Province. There is much room for my future, which attracts me a lot,” she said. Ng Hoi Ching is one of 45 Macau participants in 2019 Macau Youth GBA Internship Program, hosted by Guangdong Province and Macau SAR governments this summer. They went to incubation centers in Guangzhou, Zhongshan and Zhuhai for two weeks’ internship, a taste for opportunities in GBA. Li Huiyin was born in Guangzhou and moved to Macau since primary school. After 10 years experience in Macau’s startup business, now she has a fashion magazine and a traditional Chinese clothing brand. “Macau’s high level of social welfare and income make it very hard for startups to hire local talents. The GBA gives me hope that the metropolitan network can provide ideal resource, such as sufficient employees, broad market and production partner.” Li’s brand, Macau’s Good Time, has taken its root in a shop near Macau’s tourism icon Ruins of St. Paul, selling traditional Chinese clothing and related products. Her brand had been selected into Macau’s delegation to participate in the first and the second China International Import Expo held in Shanghai in 2018 and 2019. “After the opening of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, I expect the human resource would flow more easily, and that is the future of Macau startups,” she said Article content.

Baía do Tejo site of the South Lisbon Bay developments Editorial Team 16 February 2018 which will be built on the old Lisnave lands in Almada one of the administrators of Baía do Tejo (BT) a company in the corporate sector of the state the Arco Ribeirinho Sul will be totally renovated The real estate megaproject already has five investors interested and the public bid will open and the end of the semester which aims to revolutionise the area next to the river Cacilhas has been approved and published in the Diário da República newspaper since 2009 after a long waiting period characterised by “two steps forward There are already five investors interested: a Chinese group a North American group and two consortia composed of Portuguese companies One of the managers of BT, Sérgio Saraiva, who spoke with idealista/news during a networking trip which took 50 real estate professionals to visit the lands of the Lisbon South Bay, has defended the importance of the project, which will help the Lisbon metropolitan area be recognised internationally. The project has been on hold for some time The project was approved in 2009 but the idea of transforming the old warehouse, which stopped all activity in 2000, into a new urban area, is still going strong. Think of the Expo, for example – about what it was and what it is today, and maybe we can identify some common features. Seeing the Expo 98 and that whole area, nobody thought it would be possible to create a “new city” there. Even so, that’s what happened and this project, too, is going to continue. "Seeing the Expo 98 and that whole area, nobody thought it would be possible to create a ‘new city’ there.” Yes. Now we are in the promotion phase. A sign that we’re still on the right track is that large international group have shown interest in developing this whole project. We are talking about new icons, about creating new urban areas. We are talking about investors who were interested a year ago and are reaffirming their interest now. But are there still people who believe in the project? The thing with this project is that it’s been on hold for a long time and the truth is that this situation has fed disbelief. As such, it’s normal that people’s expectations have dropped but when we bring international investors, and many have come to visit this land, the question of time becomes irrelevant because they have started to see the lands now. “We believe that in a few years this will be the new icon of Lisbon, like the Expo is today.” For us, Portuguese citizens who have seen these lands since ages ago, it’s different. Therein lies the importance of Portuguese people visiting [referring to the networking trip promoted by the APPII], so that they too can believe in the project. It’s a bit like a football team, we have to win in the dressing room first to be able to play in the Champions League. We try to show the Portuguese people that this project really can go forward. We believe that in a few years this will be the new icon of Lisbon, like the Expo is today. The Cidade da Água will be ready in 10-15 years. Of course, we will have some things ready before that, but that is the expectation. The development period of the project has that temporary horizon. Apart from that, we also want to invest in the rehabilitation of the two business parks (Barreiro and Seixal) to attract more businesses. “The Cidade da Água will be ready in 10-15 years. Of course, we will have some things ready before that, but that is the expectation.” What’s more, the possibility of transferring the new airport to the southside is also being studied. It’s another important tool, obviously, and could bring the most out of, and feed into, these projects. Lots of investors ask us when the airport will be ready because it’s a very important factor when it comes to deciding whether to invest here in the Cidade da Água or not. The projects are complementary. We believe that the Cidade da Água, thanks to its size, has a powerful brand and others will benefit from it. 20 properties with negotiable prices in Portugal With the cost of living still high and 2025 well underway buying a home in Portugal might seem like a challenge it’s also the perfect time to start your property search — and there’s still time to secure your dream home before summer Moving To LGBT Lisbon?

At a short distance from Lisbon, Almada and Caparica are emerging areas characterised by their proximity to beaches "The dream of having a house in the country or on the beach is increasingly becoming a reality motivated by the search for a certain return to origins and a more sustainable lifestyle supported by the new possibilities of remote work," explains the real estate consultant UnsplashIn the Trafaria and Caparica area for example the trend in market prices has been upwards in recent years and despite some cooling off between 2020 and 2021 there has also been a rise in prices in recent years in practically all areas Property prices Trafaria and Caparica: unit price in euros/m2 and price in euros idealista/data"The apparent slight drop in unit price of -7% and in global price of -12% verified in the last year for the total residential market was due to negative price variations verified in the typology T0 for which the sample is not representative These numbers highlight the importance of a detailed analysis of the available market information especially in the rental market where supply is scarce" Rental prices in Almada, Cova da Piedade, Pragal and Cacilhas: unit price in euros/m2/month and price in euros idealista/dataJoão Passos believes that the appetite for all these gay-friendly areas in Lisbon remains and even believes that it has a tendency to increase, "whether in the more urban centres, for a more national and younger community, or near the beaches, for a more international and adult segment, in a retirement or investment perspective," he concludes.

inbox TORONTO — Like thousands of Canadian couples six of my smitten friends are taking the matrimonial plunge this summer in the midst of the only recession that generation Y has ever faced But my friends have decided they’re not going to let the state of the economy interfere with their dream weddings — even if it means living apart for a time or getting married while jobless Demographers formerly deemed this an entitled and spoiled generation that grew up in a time of plenty it seems they have to adjust to growing debt loads shrinking job markets and making personal and career sacrifices the average woman was married at 22.8 years meaning the first wave of gen-Yers has reached the nuptial stage The delay in the marriage age can be attributed to a focus on developing career travel and other personal goals before settling down and more adult children living at home longer vice-president of consumer research at Environics and her fiance Rob Grande both lived at home into their 20s With their parents’ nest providing a financial buffer they’ve saved enough to pay for a chunk of the wedding themselves Wendy thought that during her first year of teaching But plans changed when Rob was offered an insurance job with a significant pay increase in Kelowna They debated leaving behind friends and family entering a job market she was not yet certified in But they decided the money was too enticing — especially if Wendy wanted the swanky wedding she envisioned they counted down lonely days until their Aug 1 wedding and planned details while thousands of kilometres apart “It’s weird because people say ‘just get your fiance to have a look and let me know,’ but I can’t do that Wedding planning loses some of its lustre when you’re doing it yourself,” Wendy said but then return to Hamilton in January and live with her parents while she teaches until she’s built up enough time to take a leave of absence it sucks that I’m going to have a part-time wife but we did what was good for my career and now we have to do what’s good for yours.” many gen-Yers share Rob and Wendy’s willingness to just “go-for-it.” but we threw it by the wayside,” Wendy said why should that stop us from having the wedding we want?” But savers Rob and Wendy may be the exception to the gen-Y rule Many gen-Yers are not changing wedding plans but creatively scaling down their weddings I am maid-of honour in Jen Waters and Alan Cherneski’s wedding which is fitting since I was the third wheel on their first date four years ago Alan ordered Jen a replica of a Tiffany ring she had not so subtly pointed out last July But he had not forked over any money yet when he received the worst news a guy on the brink of a huge diamond investment could hear — he was being laid off “I guess this means we’re not getting married?” Alan said “no,” but talked it over with a friend who convinced him he shouldn’t let his former employer affect his decisions He went ahead with his plans and paid for the ring “I was definitely pretty stressed out about it because I didn’t work for all of August and September “I wasn’t going to propose until I got a new job I thought it’d be very anticlimactic to give a multi-thousand dollar ring and be jobless.” So when he bent down on one knee that autumn day Intent on keeping their dream wedding intact Jen and Alan are in the final throes of budgeted wedding planning for their August wedding “I could have pulled the chute on the ring but who knows what’s gonna happen after that — I may as well jack up a huge debt and go for it.” They agree the first few months of their engagement amounted to the toughest challenge they’d ever faced He used the time off to volunteer at an elementary school and go back to teachers’ college “I have a huge tuition payment and still don’t have a job I’m still worried but I’m happy we’re making the next step,” he explained Planning a wedding on a budget means you have to be patient and persistent Jen once dragged me on a fact-finding shopping trip to compare the price of vases for centrepieces she’s assembling herself Fuchsia Gerber daisies will be sitting in $1 dollar-store vases that are indistinguishable from overpriced vases She’s getting married in her hometown of Strathroy Her sister-in-law is making a ring bearer pillow Getting alterations in her small town saved another $350

Our monkfish stew was great but according to their TripAdvisor reviews Ren’s cousin ate here the night before and didn’t enjoy her meal as much as we did A quick tip, they’ll serve you an unsolicited set of appetizers at the start of your meal, things like octopus salad, bread Not sure if this is a cultural thing but it happened to us twice in Lisbon They’ll tell you that you can eat it if you want but what they don’t mention You’ll notice them surreptitiously added to your bill at the end of your meal The 25 de Abril Bridge is a lovely suspension bridge and looks very much like the Golden Gate in San Francisco I don’t know if there’s a cafe or bar nearby but just before reaching the ferry terminal was this cluster of sofas and tables with young locals hanging about Some were playing guitar and singing while others were just chatting and enjoying the evening atmosphere we weren’t hopeful we could get a table here I made lunch reservations for the same day weeks before our trip to Portugal It looked so lovely on Somebody Feed Phil that it seemed the perfect way to end our 5-week trip through Europe We were in Lisbon with seven other people so I made reservations for nine the person responding to my email advised that they’d be able to seat us outside but not on the platform like we wanted because those are limited to groups of just 2-4 people This was probably the one meal I was most looking forward to in Europe Ren’s cousin who couldn’t join us for lunch on the intended day decided to eat here on her own the night before She wound up ordering the wrong things and was underwhelmed by the food so she advised the group not to go I didn’t want to be blamed for a subpar experience so I emailed the restaurant to cancel on the morning of our reservation We were super bummed because we were really looking forward to eating at Ponto Final we decided to take the ferry out to Almada on our own We’d walk around town and enjoy our last day in Portugal before making a quick stop at the restaurant just to see the place We knew it’d be impossible to get dinner reservations on such short notice the host advised us of a two-hour wait for a table outside We would have been seated immediately had we agreed to a table inside but we were there for the view I was about to snap a few photos before leaving when minutes later the host approached us and told us that someone had just cancelled via email but no more than five minutes must have elapsed from the time we approached the host and the moment we were seated at the platform table we always wanted And why did he offer it to us instead of all the people already on the list We didn’t bother asking questions and just chose to look at it as a mini miracle Ren’s mother passed away last year and we like to think she had something to do with this They were super close and Ren spent the last four years dutifully caring for her Every time something good like this happens she’s convinced her mother has something to do with it Chalk it up to divine intervention or just dumb luck but thanks to the events leading up to tonight we got to enjoy the perfect meal at the place and setting we always wanted I honestly couldn’t have scripted a better ending to our Europe trip than this HOW TO GET THERE: Make your way to Cais do Sodre Ferry Terminal Take the ferry to Cacilhas (EUR 1.25 each way) Make a right after exiting the terminal and walk the entire length of the pier to Ponto Final The TripAdvisor links in this post are affiliate links meaning we’ll earn a small commission if you make a purchase or booking at no extra cost to you We really appreciate your support as this helps us keep this website going Categories DESTINATIONS, PORTUGAL Dos Pebrots: Not Your Everyday Tapas Bar in Barcelona Website#f21b07e956ecdd8b043b4c13{display:none} I'm going to try and make reservations for our upcoming trip in March And I love your note at the end - dumb luck or divine intervention.. Hope you have an amazing time at Ponto Final and in Lisbon We visited this restaurant on a "Foodie Tour" while visiting Portugal in May of 2023 The walk to get to the restaurant was not too long from the ferry across the river but at least 1/3 of the walk there was along a very narrow sea wall The walkway was no more than 2 feet wide at least 1/3 of the way with the heavily graphitied wall at your shoulder and the shipping channel to your right There is no guard/hand rail at all and it would be easy to stumble and fall into the river It was hard to enjoy my lunch knowing that I needed to retrace my steps back to the ferry I had to keep telling myself that the walkway widened as we got nearer the ferry station I kept looking down and running my hand against the wall to try to keep my balance I think guests should be warned before taking that harrowing walk to the restaurant Apparently there's another way to get there but it's down/up a seriously steep hill that was equally rocky making tripping and falling a terrifying prospect no handrails on which to steady one's self I'm sorry to hear you had a terrifying experience I don't remember the walk being too precarious but the path may have deteriorated since our last visit good suggestion on telling people about the walk Would love to visit and be seated outdoors however I will have my two small children (ages 6 & 3) with me I have not been able to find any information online Some of the tables are precariously close to the edge so I'm not sure if they'd allow young children to sit there Strange you didn't mention the other great restaurant {removed by editor}.. she quality food and less touristy because a tv show wasn't focused on it Is there reservation services at this restaurant My wife and I will be in LIsbon for her birthday and I would love to take her here Hi Jose, we made reservations via email: [email protected] Hope that helps and enjoy Ponto Final "This is the BEST representation of my country food that I have ever seen. I’m very protective of our things and this made me proud. Thank you."– Erica on our Argentina food guide "We had the Quesabirria at Tacos Don Juan today and WOW!! That was the best taco yet!

Otherwise, you could end up swimming with the next night’s catch. Kidding. Not kidding. However, feel free to order as many Portuguese desserts as you fancy Options include Mousse de Chocolate (chocolate mousse) Arroz Doce (rice pudding) and Fruta (fresh fruit) which translates to end point or last stop at midday with the sun blazing on your table like Phil did we recommend reserving a table closer to sunset when the cool breezes arrive from the Atlantic and the sun retreats you’ll want to email the restaurant at least a month in advance of your visit but preferably longer Doing so is worth the effort considering Ponto Final’s surprisingly affordable menu and million euro view This is a one-of-a-kind Lisbon experience that you don’t want to miss Pro TipWhile you can take your chances without a reservation, we don’t recommend that approach unless your okay with potential dining disappointment. Instead, consider eating next door at Atira-te ao Rio Atira-te ao Rio accepts online reservations and its view is almost as epic as Ponto Final’s view Ponto Final is located at Rua do Ginjal 72 reservations are an absolute must for food travelers who don’t want to risk dining disappointment We recommend emailing the restaurant at pontofinalrest@gmail.com to request a table at least one month before the preferred date Ponto Final’s a la carte menu is moderately priced the bill totaled 115€ which included a bottle of white wine and enough food to satisfy four hungry diners Ponto Final doesn’t have a dress code you’ll want to bring a sweater or jacket unless Lisbon is in the midst of a heat wave Not only is taking the Cacilhas ferry the most cost effective and fun transportation option but it’s also part of the Ponto Final dining experience you could alternatively take a taxi or car service from Lisbon if you have accessibility issues or are afraid of boats We recommend making a reservation 30 minutes before sunset so that you can enjoy your meal while watching a (hopefully) gorgeous sunset from beginning to end Check out our guide to eating in Portugal as well as our picks for the best Portuguese foods and the best Portuguese desserts before your trip Are you thinking about visiting or moving to Portugal?We strongly suggest that you start learning European Portuguese now.
