Speaking to Lusa, the Portuguese Navy spokesperson previously explained that the spill occurred during the early hours of the morning, “downstream of the 25 de Abril Bridge”, during a ship’s refueling. According to Commander Ricardo Sá Granja, pollution control equipment is on site, adding that the case has already been reported to the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Maritime Police are conducting the investigation into the incident. The official said the incident occurred between a Portuguese ship, which had the fuel, and another flying the Dutch flag.

Belém is a charming district that is home to many of the city’s most iconic tourist attractions, including the 16th-century Torre de Belém as well as stunning views along the Tejo Estuary; making it attractive to expats looking to live outside the center is scattered with luxury villas that surround the oval-shaped football stadium You will have to dig deep into your pockets to live here But if it’s the affluent lifestyle you seek the residential neighborhood of Campo de Ourique is popular among middle-class families who appreciate the old and the new Stunning 19th-century buildings can be found alongside modern architecture while traditional shops are juxtaposed with modern brands There are many restaurants and cafés to explore too Although this is a pleasant and peaceful neighborhood to live in The lack of metro stations also means that transport into the city center can be a bit of a hassle it can be accessed by nearby highways and several bus routes attracting crowds to the various bars and nightclubs the hilly neighborhood of Lapa is famed for its grand palaces and embassies Many wealthy retirees settle here in larger mansions But while the area offers a peaceful residential atmosphere the lack of metro stations can make getting around a challenge you will need to rely on trams and buses instead If you’re looking to live a little further afield and enjoy life by the sea this coastal resort town is often dubbed the Portuguese Riviera and is famous for its sandy beaches and busy marina The up-market neighborhood is popular with expats seeking a high quality of life and excellent local schools While old Cascais boasts cobbled streets and a community atmosphere the more touristy area offers local shops and restaurants Cascais is one of the wealthiest areas along the Iberian Peninsula therefore homes are among the most expensive with central Lisbon just a 30-minute train or bus journey away it is ideal for city workers wanting more for their money There are plenty of find high-quality apartments in Costa da Guia and Monte Estoril due to their large size and close proximity to the seaside this could be a dreamy location to call home The charming Portuguese town of Sintra is only a 30-minute train journey from Lisbon The pleasant mountainside settlement is also a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers a great deal of tranquillity you will find a range of independent shops and restaurants The breathtaking natural scenery and historical buildings make this a popular day trip for tourists in Lisbon But while the cost of property is a lot cheaper than the city center you can still expect to pay a hefty sum for a renovated place in this fairy tale town Other towns such as Carcavelos, Oeiras, and Paço de Arcos are also popular among expats and offer convenient transport links into the city.

and the Aquarium is characterized by its emphasis on the diversity of marine fauna that occurs in mainland Portugal and the Azores and Madeira archipelagos with more than 200 species that invite all visitors to take a look at some of the most incredible marine species on our planet The Jamor National Sports Center is a multifunctional space that combines sports and leisure It is located in the valley of the Jamor River and has an extensive area – one of the largest in Portugal – which is sought after mainly for sports but also for walks and other outdoor activities The Palácio do Egito has been part of the Oeiras City Council’s assets since 1980 and is located in the town’s historic center It currently serves as a cultural center and offers a temporary exhibition hall The São Julião da Barra Fort is one of the most important military buildings in the country The most famous military men and engineers in the service of the kingdom such as Leonardo Turriano and Captain Fratino São Julião da Barra also served as a military and political prison Today it is the official residence of the Minister of Defense Esta é a Área Metropolitana de Lisboa que não sabias que existia This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page The Federacao Portuguesa de Atletismo – the Portuguese athletics federation – celebrates its centenary on 5 November and it is fitting that it will come just a few months after its athletes had their most successful ever Olympic Games Tokyo saw Portugal get its biggest ever haul of medals at a single Games and athletics contributed half thanks to outstanding performances from triple jumpers Pedro Pichardo and Patricia Mamona Pichardo and Mamona took gold and silver respectively in the Japanese capital and with Pichardo’s triumph all five of Portugal’s Olympic Games victories have now come courtesy of athletics Athletics in Portugal can trace its origins back to the end of the 19th century when like many other countries around the world the influence of the British expatriate community was felt as they set up sports clubs in and around Lisbon with athletics events sometimes part of their activities The Portuguese magazine Tiro e Sport – which otherwise dedicated most of its coverage to field sports but was later an active organiser of athletics meetings – provided a short report on a 15km race in 1895 along paths between Paco de Arcos to Alges to the west of the centre of Lisbon organised by the Walkim Race Club from Alges grandly called at the time the Portuguese championship and is usually considered as the first officially organised athletics event in the country It went on to be organised at different venues around Lisbon on an annual basis for several more years It seems appropriate that the modern-day Portuguese federation offices are barely two kilometres from where this first race finished and nearby is the well-known Oeiras cross country course which staged the 1997 European Cross Country Championships more and more athletics competitions were held during the first decade of the new century but the failure of the Portuguese authorities to send representatives to the London 1908 Olympic Games led to the formation the following year of the Sociedade Promotora de Educacao Fisica Nacional (National Society for the Promotion of Physical Education) with one of its aims to ensure participation at the next Olympic Games The SPEFN subsequently organised the first National Olympic Games the first Portuguese cross country championships were held in the Campo do Lumiar in the north of Lisbon and were won by 1908 and 1910 Portuguese marathon champion Francisco Lazaro without doubt the country’s best distance runner of this era Having won the Portuguese marathon title for a third time in 1912 Lazaro was selected to go to Stockholm as part of an inaugural Olympic delegation of six men in three sports which also included sprinter Antonio Stromp and middle-distance runner Armando Luzarte-Cortesao on a hot day in Stockholm with the temperatures above 30°C, the unfortunate Lazaro collapsed at around 29 kilometres and tragically died that night Debate still reigns as to the cause of his death as noted after his autopsy; the fact that he had smeared tallow on his legs leaving him unable to sweat; or the fact that he was thought to have included in his diet a mixture of turpentine essence and vinegar Portuguese athletics continued to progress and prosper in the coming decades the nation had its first finalist in an athletics event when Rui Ramos finished 12th in the triple jump perhaps an early precursor to the county’s contemporary success in this event Manuel de Oliveira went closest yet to getting a long-sought medal for Portugal when he finished fourth in the 3000m steeplechase but it was to be another 12 years before Carlos Lopes became the first Portuguese athlete to stand on an Olympic podium Lopes had been a surprise world cross country winner in Chepstow but in Montreal was by now a known quantity gradually increasing the pace over the second half of the race and dropping most of his rivals but couldn’t shake off Finland’s legendary Lasse Viren who went past him just before the bell and on to victory Lopes went on to amass further honours over the next decade He was to get silver at the 1977 World Cross Country Championships before a series of injuries took him out of the limelight for several years but he returned to form in 1982 and succeeded his compatriot Fernando Mamede with a European 10,00m record of 27:24.39 he got another world cross country silver medal and the following year he regained his world cross country title in East Rutherford before achieving what many people consider to be the greatest moment in Portuguese sport Lopes won his county’s first Olympic gold medal in any sport when he won the marathon in Los Angeles in an Olympic record of 2:09:21 despite hot conditions which many thought would mitigate against fast times Lustre was added to Lopes’ career in 1985 when he won his third world cross country title and a few weeks later won the Rotterdam Marathon in a world best of 2:07:12 Portuguese athletics success was synonymous with an array of long-distance runners Rosa Mota had taken a bronze in the Los Angeles marathon and also won European titles in 1982 and 1986 as well as the 1987 world title Rosa Mota celebrates her 1987 world marathon win in Rome (© Allsport / Getty Images) She followed in the footsteps of Lopes when she won the marathon at the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games and then took a still unprecedented third successive continental title in 1990.  Albertina Dias won the 1993 world cross country title while Fernanda Ribeiro won the 1994 10,000m European title and then a world title over the same distance in Gothenburg before becoming Portugal’s third Olympic gold medallist when she triumphed over 25 laps of the track in Atlanta.Manuela Machado’s 1995 World Championships marathon win and Carla Sacramento’s 1500m title at the 1997 World Athletics Championships also demonstrated how much Portuguese women were to the fore during this decade Rui Silva won the 2001 World Athletics Indoor Championships 1500m title Portugal’s first gold medal at these championships and a victory achieved to huge acclaim as the event was on home soil in Lisbon Naide Gomes and Nelson Evora were to bound on to the global stage Gomes won pentathlon gold at the 2004 World Indoor Championships and triumphed in the long jump at the same event four years later while Evora was memorably to take the trip jump gold at the 2007 World Athletics Championships and Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and returned to the top of the podium a decade later when he won the 2018 European title Pichardo – a nominee for Male World Athlete of the Year 2021 – supplanted Evora as the Portuguese triple jump record-holder in 2018 when he jumped 17.95m and then went further still when he won Olympic gold this summer with 17.98m All three of his valid jumps in Tokyo were further than anyone else could manage been a willing host of international athletics events An early indicator of this was when an international club competition was staged in Lisbon in 1909 the Portuguese capital was the venue for the 1959 International Cross Country Championships and then the World Cross Country Championships were held in Lisbon again in 1985 followed by Vilamoura on the Algarve in 2000.  A memorable World Athletics U20 Championships were held in Lisbon in 1994 the 2001 World Athletics Indoor Championships were a huge success while the European Cross Country Championships has been held three times in Portugal and a plethora of other continental competitions such as the European 10,000m Cup European Throwing Cup and European Mountain Running Championships have also been held in the country Portugal can look back with pride at a century of being part of the global athletics family Phil Minshull for World Athletics Heritage  Already a member?

the first all-electric bicycles available the system will be free of charge in the first phase Oeiras' municipal bike-sharing network now includes three stations on the recent Medrosa cycle pathwhich connects the Oeiras train station to NOVA SBE University and Praia da Torre; with five stations between Paço de Arcos train station and Porto Salvoalong the Ciclovia Empresarial; and two stations between the Algés bus station and the Miraflores Urban Park A eleventh station at Praia de Santo Amaro de Oeiraswhich can be used with the Oeiras station (It should be noted that the two stations located in the Algés area are the closest bike-sharing stations to the Restelo neighborhood as a result of opposition from the Belém Parish Council four GIRA stations have yet to open for over a year) in addition to the 11 stations with six docks each the following will be available 50 electric bikesIn the near future (by 2024) the network is expected to have 40 stations and 120 bicycles All Oeiras Move stations are equipped with video surveillance The entire system is managed by Parques Tejo through its brand Oeiras Move - a model similar to Lisbon's Like GIRA, the Oeiras Move network is accessible via a mobile application, available for Android e iOS aims to be the "digital hub" for all mobility in the municipalityThe Oeiras Move app brings together in a single interface car parking (on-street and in a park) bicycles and scooters from private operators most of the functionalities of the Oeiras Move app are not yet available; for now it only works for municipal bicycles and street parking Using the Oeiras municipal bicycle network is similar to using the GIRA network: simply open the Oeiras Move app select the "Bikesharing" option and click on the "Start route" button that appears at the bottom of the screen you scan the QR code or type in the bike's number to unlock it; finally The bikes have a front basket for carrying light loads There are three manual gearboxes and an electric assist that helps with starts and climbs switching off at 25 km/h in accordance with national and European regulations There is no way to turn off the assistance or level it The seat has 10 height positions and a small suspension you need to leave your bike in an available (empty) dock and confirm that it has been secured You also have to end the journey in the app by clicking on "End journey" and taking a photo of the parked bike if you just leave the bike at the dock but don't finish the journey in the app) the vehicle won't be available for someone else to use Parques Tejo says it is aware of this situation and that it is something it wants to correct so that the automatic end of trip when the bike is parked in the dockwithout the person needing their cell phone as the Oeiras Move app is still under development there is no way to consult travel history or other information while using it Parques Tejo also says it is working on these aspects but limited to a maximum of five consecutive hoursHowever it should be borne in mind that these bikes are designed for short journeys Parques Tejo has not yet defined a timetable for using the bicycle network and says it will do so based on the data it collects from people using the network There is also no date set (or at least communicated) for the end of the free period; the aim is the same: to learn from use and draw lessons from it A maintenance and balancing of bicycles in the bike-sharing network will be carried out by a company contracted for this purpose and also by the teams that Parques Tejo already has for parking meter maintenance The latter will be responsible for minor maintenance and balancing bicycles in docks; major maintenance and checking for faults will be carried out by a contracted company If you have any problems, you can contact Parques Tejo at 215 990 000 (available 24 hours) or by e-mail [email protected] The regulations for using the Oeiras municipal bike-sharing network are still being finalized and will be available in the future Podes escrever-nos para [email protected] The Cascais railway line is suspended due to the effects of bad weather according to the Greater Lisbon Sub-Regional Command which has registered more than 500 incidents since last night The civil protection source indicated that among the more than 500 occurrences registered in Greater Lisbon are fallen trees roofs and telecommunications and electricity poles torn off by the wind “The Cascais railway line is interrupted between Caxias and Paço de Arcos due to a fallen tree that damaged the overhead line that fell on top of a train causing minor injuries to the driver,” he said “We have a set of municipal and national roads with interruptions We have the Marginal in the Alto da Boa Viagem and Santo Amaro de Oeiras areas The Marginal between Cascais and Carcavelos the National Road (EN) 247 in the Azoia area the EN115 between Loures and Santo Antão do Tojal the 248 in Bom Retiro and the EN10 at the Sobralinho intersection in the district of Vila Franca de Xira” train circulation has resumed on the Douro and Vouga lines after having been suspended due to bad weather adding more railway lines to the list of those affected In a situation update that reports information collected at 08:30 Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) indicates that rail traffic remained suspended on the Cascais Line According to information published by the company on social media also continued with their circulation suspended a four-track area where trains only run on two IP reported that trains resumed running at 06:32 after the tree fall caused by the weather conditions during the night was resolved The effects of the Martinho depression also caused restrictions on rail traffic on the Sado Line which at 07:50 was only running between Praias do Sado and Pinhal Novo but which will now be reestablished as it does not appear in the most recent situation report from Infraestruturas de Portugal The restrictions extended to rail traffic on the Linha do Oeste which was affected by fallen trees and sheets between Caldas da Rainha and Leiria The bad weather also forced the suspension of train circulation on the 25 de Abril Bridge between Coina and Roma-Areeiro stations According to the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC) more than 4,000 occurrences related to bad weather were recorded in mainland Portugal between 00:00 and 07:00 the majority of which were falling trees and structures Portugal is under the effects of depression Martinho which has forced warnings about strong wind it will be connected by bike paths not only to the Paço de Arcos station but also to two other urban parks - the Poetas and Perdizes parks The municipality of Oeiras has a new Urban Park Stay in Vila Friain the parish of Porto SalvoIn the near future it will be connected to the Business Cycle path and the Paço de Arcos railway station but also to the well known Parque dos Poetas The Urban Park of Vila Fria has about 22,000 square meters for strolling Representing an investment of 898.8 thousand eurosThe Vila Fria Urban Park offers 810 meters of pedestrian paths and also an open-air gymnasium - all surrounded by a lot of greenery and recreational areas The Park is inserted in a land that was available in the urban mesh of Vila Fria presenting an irregular plan because it was forced to surround the SIMAS installations the intermunicipal water and sanitation company of the Oeiras and Amadora counties The Park was inserted in a terrain where Nature already grew freely and the species that made sense for the project were kept and others were planted The space has a small wood where several native (autochthonous) species of our country can be found which are therefore adapted to our dry climate in summer requiring little maintenance and little water consumption if a part of the Park has a more natural aspect other areas are landscaped and have vegetation watered by an automatic system and herbaceous plants along the pedestrian paths help define them and also hide the built environment Some vegetation also plays an important role in the sloping areas of the Park The Urban Park of Vila Fria has several resting areas There is also a chapel that already existed in the area of the park and was integrated into it The pedestrian connections of the Urban Park with the surrounding area are ensured as in the case of the connections with Rua Carlos Paião (this is the main entrance and there are two bus stops for Carris Metropolitana) Rua Ary dos Santos and the connection to Rua Rui de Mascarenhas Almost the entire Urban Park is accessible to all people except the viewpoint areaThis is behind the chapel and where a swing for children and adults has been placed It is in this area that you will find a walkway we tried to place a equipment that looks like it is made from natural materials that you would find in a forest The space for gymnastics and fitness is developed in one of the central nuclei of the park are the two main dynamizing and attraction poles of the Vila Fria Urban Park the Business Cycle Path will connect the three business parks in the municipality to the Paço de Arcos train station and it will pass through three green areas in the territory: the Parque dos Poetas the Parque das Perdizes and now the Vila Fria Urban Park the municipality of Oeiras currently has 770 hectares of green infrastructures and aims to reach 1000 hectares by 2050 which requires less maintenance and is less demanding in water consumption The inauguration of the Vila Fria Urban Park took place on Friday morning Director of the Municipal Works Department among other members of the Oeiras Council."A garden And at the same time it is a repository of representative species of Mediterranean vegetation Whoever does these pedestrian circuits sees species that are scattered everywhere and that are concentrated here."commented Isaltino Morais "We also have a fitness park and a viewpoint here that allows us to enjoy the beauty of a significant part of the Oeiras territory but we also see the Sintra Mountains in the background." it is also possible to appreciate a "harmony in terms of spatial planning"This is a development that already integrates some towers "We are working to have more towers in our county"because "towers are one of the best ways to preserve the environment and safeguard land that would otherwise be waterproofed" the mayor of Oeiras said that "it's very hard for anyone not to like it here" and that this new leisure area is the result of "study Isaltino Morais wanted to leave another note: "The more city is made the greater the investment of the municipality whether with quality buildings or with intervention in the urban space explaining that "the investment that was made here will have threefold repercussions" in the housing around the Urban Park "If we make an investment of one million euros here this will have a reflection of three million in all those buildings Which means that an apartment that costs 250,000 will cost 300 this park will increase the value of all the buildings that exist here." But the municipality itself will also have a return on investment "in the long run" with the "IMI growth"because "What counts is not only the property; it is also what is around it it is the urban image; everything counts for the valuation of the property". this is a system of communicating vessels."

About us Contact us The City Hall says it is waiting to finish two structural road axes to take traffic from the Marginal and make the long-awaited bike path But there are those who believe that it can not wait Next Sunday morningOeiras will cut traffic on Avenida Marginal allowing bicycles (and other active modes) to circulate safely in that car-dominated space is exceptional: for the vast majority of the year those who want to cycle along the Oeiras waterfront are pushed from the safe Passeio Marítimo to the dangerous Avenida Marginal If putting bicycles and cars in the same channel at 50 km/h is already unsafe for those who cycle (and who do it at 20-30 km/h) the Oeiras City Hall has imposed restrictions on bicycle circulation on the Oeiras Waterfront Promenade There are those who do not comply with the guidelines and are later surprised by police inspections there are those who take the risk of taking the Avenida Marginal and there are those who escape from it to the narrow sidewalks Matthew Baldwin, current head of the European Union by the 100 Neutral CitiesIn the last edition of Velo-city he said something like this: it's it is a waste to give the seafront to cars and that we could even bring the tourist wave that today is limited to the Belém area to the neighboring municipalities of Oeiras and Cascais But the bicycle is not exclusively a means of leisure For many people it is or can be a mode of transportation complementary to the train and alternative to the car It can be used for that last mile or even for the entire commute between home and work taking advantage of the relatively flat land next to the sea the Oeiras Council updated the rules for the Oeiras BoardwalkIt also removed the month of April from the longest restrictions and removed the month of April from the longest restrictions It also removed the month of April from the longer restrictions The restrictions on the circulation of bicycles on the Passeio Marítimo de Oeiras are written in Article 24 of the Regulation No. 838/2021A document on the "Management of the Beaches of the Municipality of Oeiras" was published in the Official Gazette in September 2021 after being approved in an extraordinary session of the Oeiras Municipal Assembly on July 20th (the approval was by majority Accessibility conditions for the transit of bicycles and other similar means of circulation 1 - The circulation for sport and leisure purposes of bicycles hoverboards and other similar means of circulation is forbidden in the following periods: 2 - The prohibitions referred to in the previous number do not apply: a) Driving by children not older than 8 years; b) When there is a cycle track specifically for this purpose it was also added that they would apply to other soft modes hoverboards e segways; the previous ban was only clear for bicycles Article 30 of the same Regulation states fines ranging from €50 to €3,500 for natural personsand 44,500 for legal entities (such as companies) that they disrespect These are punishable by fines ranging from €50.00 to €3,500.00 for natural persons and €44,500.00 for legal entities: d) Disrespect the general conditions of accessibility as well as those especially applicable to the transit of bicycles and other similar means of circulation in the Passeio Marítimo de Oeiras In the aforementioned session of the Municipal Assembly of Oeiras who remained in office after the local elections stressed that bicycles "they are not forbidden they have schedules"because "there are times when they can't circulate on the Boardwalk because of the amount of people there" The municipality's position is simple to understand: "for some people not taking responsibility as they should"circulating at "reasonable speeds" and stopping "when it mattered" Whenever they saw that there were too many people on the Promenade a bicycle path along Avenida Marginal should be made on this avenue at the expense of reducing automobile space and not on Passeio Marítimobut that that project "depends on the completion of the North and South Longitudinal Roads" (VLN and VLS) two new structuring axes for the city where the municipality intends to "transferring the circulation that today is done in a pendulum mode from east to west and vice versa"This will free up the Marginal and the waterfront of traffic Francisco Rocha Goncalves also clarified that in the Promenade Marginal there are areas that there is no space to make a segregated bike lane "And naturally you may question the following: then why wasn't [the Promenade Marítimo] made with more space Surely you realize the extra cost of a maritime work Every meter of width put on that Promenade Marítimo would cost the public purse and the municipal coffers a lot of money per kilometer.he said that the work began to be done at another time when "it was not foreseeable the affluence that [the Walk] would have" and that "the last stages already have more space" The second phase of the Passeio Marítimo was completed in 2009 and extended the promenade for another 1.45 km from Santo Amaro to Paço de Arcos - an investment of five million euros The third phase was completed in 2017 - almost 2 km of extension between Caxias and Cruz Quebrada which cost about 2.5 million euros and is also known as Passeio Marítimo de Algés (and not Oeiras) was the only one to be made with a segregated bike lane 2.5 meters wide leaving five meters spent for pedestrian circulation The three phases result in a non-continuous 5.84 km long Oeiras Maritime Walkway, because there is an interruption between Caxias and Paço de Arcos. It is the fourth phase; in 2015, source of the autarchy referred that this section was "in study phase as it is of greater complexity"The company will complete the existing hole in order to provide a continuous pedestrian (and cycling at certain times) connection between Lisbon and Cascais the association for urban mobility by bicycle "the intention to protect pedestrians walking and circulating on the Passeio Marítimo de Oeiras is understood"but not "that the decision to find a safe solution for bicycles scooters and the like continues to be delayed"not least because - he says - "that section is marked in the PDM of Oeiras as a cycling path" "pedestrian protection should be at the top of the priorities"but "no less important will be the protection of those who commute by bicycle and that it is not safe to circulate on Avenida Marginal". MUBi believes that the Oeiras Council should find a way for bicycles to "get around safely" on the Marginal which could be done by temporarily closing traffic lanes "Harmonious coexistence of pedestrians with cyclists is difficult but not impossible" There is one more difficulty in this issue of the Passeio Marítimo de Oeiras: while it belongs to the municipal domain Avenida Marginal (which belongs to National Road 6) is a competence of Infraestruturas de Portugal a public company responsible for the national highway and railroad and which is under the Ministry of Infrastructures and Housing if the "boss" of the Passeio Marítimo is the current Mayor Isaltino Morais; the "boss" of the Marginal is Pedro Nuno Santos For MUBi, this situation "has never stopped the Oeiras City Council from making intervention plans for Avenida Marginal, the best example being megalomaniac plan to bury that artery at the intersection with the valley of the Ribeira da Laje between Jardim de Oeiras and the Santo Amaro beach". the municipality led by Isaltino Morais "it could ask IP to manage Avenida Marginal just as Cascais has already done for some stretches" which establishes the framework for transferring powers to municipal bodies in the field of communication routes suggested the construction of a "bike lane on the Marginal (N6) between the junction of the Forte de São Julião da Barra and the access to the Passeio Marítimo da Cruz Quebrada "The Oeiras coastline offers unique landscape conditions in the Cascais line It is therefore proposed to convert the sea side lane of the Estrada Marginal into a bidirectional bike path between the intersection of Forte de São Julião da Barra (access to the beaches of Carcavelos and Torre) and the access to the promenade of Cruz Quebrada (opposite the I.S.N A future cycling network could extend to the Jamor sports complex and along the coast to Algés The sea side is proposed because: there are fewer accesses for cars on this side being more controlled to avoid conflict situations; ensure direct access to the beaches; and because the bike path acts as a barrier between cars and the sidewalk improving safety conditions for pedestrians and the possibility of enjoying the landscape to all." The proposal presented an estimated cost of 286,000 Euros for the work; the bike path would be 5.8 km long Lisboa Para Pessoas contacted the Oeiras City Hall through several channels to learn more about their vision for the waterfront and also about the future of bicycles in the municipality We also contacted councilwoman Joana Baptista it is essential "create a way for bicyclists to safely circulate on an avenue dominated by motor vehicles at speeds incompatible with an inclusive Podes escrever-nos para [email protected] Traditional 19th-century palace in Portugal Editorial Team 15 February 2019, 13:30Live like a royal in a real-life, ultra-luxury palace in Paço de Arcos, Portugal this 19th century property was built in 1860 and was the residence of His Royal Highness At this moment the property belongs to the heirs of His Royal Highness King D The sumptuous neoclassical environment on show in the ornamentation of the buildings speaks to the living history of this incredible property The whole complex is surrounded by immense grounds with several species of ancient trees standing out such as Araucaria the ground floor welcomes you in with a spectacular foyer whose staircase is illuminated by a skylight and has original period pillars and balustrades there are about 40 separate rooms on the estate Enormous façade of the building by the River TagusThe outer space has different terrain levels arranged around a courtyard where there are garages stables and service quarters for the housekeepers and a clock tower with a steeple that gives its name to the house The palace faces onto the Tagus River and the Atlantic Ocean It is 30 minutes from the international airport of Lisbon and 15km from the centre of the Portuguese capital the property is free from the requirement to pay the IMI and IMT taxes so it could make a really great investment for a luxury hotel the multinational headquarters for your organisation Come and live this real-life fairy tale in the luxury palace in Portugal See the top houses of the week on idealista Branded Residences: Portugal is the European country with the most projects in the pipeline The phenomenon of Branded Residences is “in rapid growth” in Portugal Executive Director of the Portuguese Association of Residential Tourism and Resorts (APR) The Savills Global Residential Development Consultancy study Branded Residences: Portugal Snapshot 2025 concluding that Portugal is the European country with the most projects in the pipeline for the next five years: by 2031 the country will have over 1,200 branded resi anyone experiencing difficulties is advised to contact the Social Welfare Bureau The Novel Coronavirus Response and Coordination Centre has announced a new Yellow Code Zones following the discovery today of another imported-related Covid-19 case The area includes: The health codes of people in the district will be converted to yellow and nucleic acid testing (NAT) will be carried out on the spot immediately The first NAT will be completed within 24 hours and further testing will be carried out as needed People in the area will not be allowed to go out until the first NAT is completed Other restrictions include not being allowed to leave Macao and a minimum of 14 days of close health monitoring and self-health management The centre stated that in accordance with the prevention and control mechanism of zoning a life support team will follow up the daily needs of people in the cordoned area and the department will be responsible for providing daily life and dietary support or those in need of assistance psychologically or spiritually are directed to call the Social Welfare Bureau hotline 28261126 for assistance January 27th was another successful day for SP Televisão productions The long-awaited premiere of the new telenovela A HERANÇA aired yesterday on SIC at 10pm was the leader in its time slot where it reached more than 1.2 million viewers and a 19.3% share SP Televisão's new fiction project for SIC even had more than double the number of viewers the cast gathered at the end of the day at the SIC building in Paço de Arcos to watch the premiere of this telenovela Written by Sandra Santos and Alexandre Castro A Herança focuses on the story of Sofia and the fate that crosses her path with her daughter Beatriz the knight they both fall in love with; Vicente the villain who wants to steal her away; Pilar the young mother who has to leave her son to ensure his safety An unknown individual has reportedly destroyed trees and bushes in the surrounding areas of the public housing complex of Seac Pai Van in Coloane The occurrence was reported to the PJ by a staff member of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau According to the information from the PJ a total of four trees and 180 bushes were damaged in the area plants that according to IACM have a value of around MOP49,000 The case is still under investigation by the police force You must be logged in to post a comment
