Armação de Pera Algarve Portugal (HD)
ARMAÇÃO DE PERA, vila localizada no concelho de Silves, distrito de Algarve, é uma das mais antigas vilas piscatórias de Portugal. É uma das praias mais conhecidas desta região, não só pelo seu longo areal branco, bem como pelo mar, com águas límpidas e calmas. Destaca-se, pela importância que teve nos tempos da pirataria, a Fortaleza de Santo António, na qual foi erguida uma ermida, hoje conhecida como Capela de Nossa Srª dos Aflitos. Na zona mais antiga da vila podemos encontrar uma pequena igreja do Sec. XVII, o edifício do velho Casino e algumas moradias burguesas entre as quais se destaca o Chalet das Palmeiras. A zona poente da vila, mais moderna, com passeios largos e jardins, onde estão instalados os hóteis, convida a passeios ao longo de toda a avenida sobranceira ao mar. Recomenda-se uma visita.*carl0spais*2012

SILVES (ARMAÇAO DE PERA) - PORTUGAL
Tras recorrer la costa occidental del Algarve portugués y tras observar el cautivador soneto compuesto por sus altos acantilados calcáreos y sus ensoñadoras calas, cuyas imágenes fuimos mostrándolas en fechas pasadas, hoy os queremos mostrar el punto en el cual se acaban esos altos acantilados y sus pequeñas calas para dar paso a playas más extensas, más típicas de la costa oriental algarvía, y ese punto no es otro que Armaçao de Pêra.
Armaçao de Pêra es un pueblo (freguesía) perteneciente al municipio de Silves, en el distrito portugués de Faro (Algarve). Como muchas localidades de la región, Armaçao de Pêra era un antiguo pueblo de pescadores, ubicado en una amplia bahía. Sus playas, originalmente, fueron utilizadas por los pescadores locales del pueblo vecino de Pêra para la preparación de sus aperos de pesca (armaçao). Sin puerto, aquí aún se desembarca el pescado antes de dirigirse a las mesas de los restaurantes locales.
La imagen de la actual Armaçao de Pêra, como podemos apreciar en las imágenes, nada tiene que ver con aquel ambiente bohemio marinero. Representa el desarrollo sin restricciones que afectó al Algarve en los primeros años del auge del turismo, convirtiéndose en una de las playas más populares del Algarve y en un moderno complejo vacacional que ofrece un enorme abanico de servicios y entretenimientos. Pero aún existe un visible vínculo con los viejos tiempos de Pêra de Baixo, como se lo conoció, a través de barcos de pesca que se detienen en la playa del extremo este. Pintorescos botes de pesca, primorosamente decorados, y cabañas de los pescadores adornan este extremo de la playa donde se inician las marismas situadas en la boca de la Ribeira de Alcantarilha.
Armaçao de Pêra es una larga extensión de playa de varios kilómetros que se enmarca por occidente con los altos y dorados acantilados de arenisca ocre; por oriente, y tras cruzar la Ribeira de Alcantarilha, enlaza con la Praia Grande de Pêra, un extenso arenal en el que ya desaparecen las formaciones de piedra caliza.
La enorme playa de Armaçao de Pêra, que se encuentra en el núcleo urbano de este pueblecito de pescadores, reúne cada verano a multitud de bañistas de toda Europa atraídos por sus aguas tranquilas y de la buenísima temperatura del lugar. Además de sus kilómetros de arena fina y dorada, cuenta con fáciles accesos, baños públicos, duchas, alquiler de hamacas y sombrillas, vigilancia, puesto de socorro, etc.
Esta playa está recorrida por un paseo peatonal donde encontramos restaurantes para todos los gustos, bares y cafeterías, tiendas, puntos de venta ambulante y jardines, para disfrutar de un grato descanso de sol y mar.
En los restaurantes que bordean las estrechas y empedradas calles del casco antiguo de la ciudad se podrá disfrutar de una rica gastronomía basada en productos del mar. Y pescado más fresco, imposible, ya que ésta es una de las pocas localidades del Algarve donde los pescadores aún salen y llegan a la propia playa cada día, como ya comentamos.
En el extremo occidental, el frente marítimo está dominado por bloques de apartamentos de gran altura (más de diez plantas), lejos de lo que se denomina “pueblo viejo”. En todo este entramado “moderno”, cargado de apartamentos y hoteles, podremos encontrar innumerables tiendas que ofrecen una amplia colección de “imprescindibles” de vacaciones y artesanía local (cerámica, sábanas bordadas y joyería).
En las calles empedradas a lo largo del paseo marítimo, en la parte antigua del pueblo, se encuentra el fuerte del siglo XVI (Fortaleza de Armaçao de Pêra), que fue construido para defender la ciudad y la flota pesquera de los piratas de Barbary del norte de África.
Como hemos observado, los viejos y los nuevos tiempos se funden para afrontar la gran demanda turística, pero permanece inmutable y estoico el inmenso océano, el Atlántico, pieza primordial y gran protagonista de todo este entramado.

Sanderlings, Armação de Pêra, Silves, Faro, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
The sanderling (Calidris alba) is a small wading bird. It is a circumpolar Arctic breeder, and is a long-distance migrant, wintering south to South America, South Europe, Africa, and Australia. It is highly gregarious in winter, sometimes forming large flocks on coastal mudflats or sandy beaches. It is somewhat unlike other sandpipers in appearance, which has led to the suggestion that it should be placed into a monotypic genus Crocethia. A more recent review (Thomas et al., 2004) indicates, however, that the sanderling is a fairly typical stint or small sandpiper and should be separated from the large knots with its closest relatives in a distinct genus. This bird is similar in size to a dunlin, but stouter, with a thick bill. It shows a strong white wingbar in flight, and runs along the sandy beaches it prefers with a characteristic bicycling action of its legs, stopping frequently to pick small food items. It eats small crabs and other small invertebrates. In spring, birds migrating north from South America consume large numbers of horseshoe crab eggs in the Delaware Bay area. In spring, the birds arrive on the High Arctic breeding grounds (see map), where they lay 3–4 eggs in a ground scrape. On the nesting grounds, these birds mainly eat insects and some plant material. The sanderling is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies. The sanderling is a small plump sandpiper, 18–20 cm (7.1–7.9 in) in length. Its weight ranges from 40–100 g (1.4–3.5 oz). The winter bird is very pale, almost white apart from a dark shoulder patch. This is the source of the specific name, alba, which is the Latin for white. Later in the summer, the face and throat become brick-red. The juvenile bird is spangled black and white, and shows much more contrast than the adult. If its size is misjudged, a sanderling in breeding plumage can be mistaken for some varieties of stint, or a sanderling in winter plumage can be mistaken for a dunlin or red knot. It can be told from other small wading birds, given good views, by its lack of a hind toe. Its behavior is also distinctive. The sanderling breeds in the High Arctic areas of North America, Europe and Asia. In North America, it breeds in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Nunavut, Greenland (and to a lesser extent Alaska). In Eurasia, it breeds in Spitsbergen and areas of northern Russia from the Taymyr Peninsula to the New Siberian Islands. In the northern winter, it has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution across the world's marine coasts. It is a complete migrant, travelling between 3,000 to 10,000 km (1,900 to 6,200 mi) from its breeding grounds to its wintering sites. Birds that travel further also arrive later and leave sooner. Most adults leave the breeding grounds in July and early August, whereas juvenile birds leave in late August and early September. The northward migration begins in March at the southern end of their winter distribution. The breeding habitat of the sanderling is coastal tundra north of 5 °C (41 °F) July isotherm. The species typically chooses nesting sites on dry stony areas near wet areas, from 60 m (200 ft) above sea level to 800 m (2,600 ft). During the winter and its migration, it is most commonly found on coastal sandy beaches, but also occurs on tidal sand flats, mud flats and the shores of lakes and rivers. More infrequently, it may occur on rocky shores. Sanderlings feed on invertebrate prey buried in the sand in the upper intertidal zone. In North America, this diet largely consists of the isopods Excirolana linguifrons, Excirolana kincaidii, and the mole crab, Emerita analoga. When the tide is out, these crustaceans live in burrows some way beneath the surface. When the tide comes in, they move into the upper layers of sand and feed on the plankton and detritus that washes over them with each wave. They then burrow rapidly down again as the water retreats. They leave no marks on the surface, so the sanderlings hunt for them by plunging their beaks into the sand at random, consuming whatever they find. Their bills can penetrate only 2 or 3 cm (0.79 or 1.18 in) and as the water swirls around and retreats, the sand is softer; this makes it easier for the birds' beaks to penetrate further. In the spring, when much breeding activity is taking place in the benthic community, there may be as many as 4000 invertebrates per square metre, but their average size is smaller than later in the year. The birds appear to rush madly around at the edge of the surf, but in reality they are maximising their chances of catching as many prey animals as possible when they are at their most vulnerable near the surface. At breeding time sanderlings are territorial, with the male aggressively defending its territory. They may either form monogamous pairs or polyandrous (one female and two male) pairings.

Guinness Surger, Water Dog Pub, Armacao de Pera, Algarve, Portugal, Europe
Guinness is an Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725–1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin. Guinness is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. It is brewed in almost 60 countries and is available in over 120. Annual sales total 850 million litres (1.5 billion Imperial or 1.8 billion US pints). A feature of the product is the burnt flavour that is derived from roasted unmalted barley, although this is a relatively modern development, not becoming part of the grist until the mid-20th century. For many years a portion of aged brew was blended with freshly brewed beer to give a sharp lactic flavour. Although the Guinness palate still features a characteristic tang, the company has refused to confirm whether this type of blending still occurs. The draught beer's thick, creamy head comes from mixing the beer with nitrogen when poured. It is popular with the Irish both in Ireland and abroad, and, in spite of a decline in consumption since 2001, is still the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. makes almost €2 billion annually. The company moved its headquarters to London at the beginning of the Anglo-Irish Trade War in 1932. In 1997, it merged with Grand Metropolitan to form the multinational alcoholic drinks producer Diageo. Arthur Guinness started brewing ales from 1759 at the St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin. On 31 December 1759 he signed a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery. Ten years later, on 19 May 1769, Guinness first exported his ale: he shipped six-and-a-half barrels to Great Britain.
There have been claims that Arthur Price, a Welshman, took the original recipe with him to Ireland where he hired a servant, Richard Guinness, whose son later opened the brewery. Stout originally referred to a beer's strength, but eventually shifted meaning toward body and colour. Arthur Guinness started selling the dark beer porter in 1778. The first Guinness beers to use the term were Single Stout and Double Stout in the 1840s. Throughout the bulk of its history, Guinness produced 'only three variations of a single beer type: porter or single stout, double or extra and foreign stout for export'. Porter was also referred to as plain, as referenced in the famous refrain of Flann O'Brien's poem The Workman's Friend: A pint of plain is your only man. Already one of the top-three British and Irish brewers, Guinness's sales soared from 350,000 barrels in 1868 to 779,000 barrels in 1876. In October 1886 Guinness became a public company, and was averaging sales of 1,138,000 barrels a year. This was despite the brewery's refusal to either advertise or offer its beer at a discount. Even though Guinness owned no public houses, the company was valued at £6 million and shares were twenty times oversubscribed, with share prices rising to a 60% premium on the first day of trading. The breweries pioneered several quality control efforts. The brewery hired the statistician William Sealy Gosset in 1899, who achieved lasting fame under the pseudonym Student for techniques developed for Guinness, particularly Student's t-distribution and the even more commonly known Student's t-test. By 1900 the brewery was operating unparalleled welfare schemes for its 5,000 employees. By 1907 the welfare schemes were costing the brewery £40,000 a year, which was one fifth of the total wages bill. The improvements were suggested and supervised by Sir John Lumsden. By 1914, Guinness was producing 2,652,000 barrels of beer a year, which was more than double that of its nearest competitor Bass, and was supplying more than 10% of the total UK beer market. In the 1930s, Guinness became the seventh largest company in the world. Before 1939, if a Guinness brewer wished to marry a Catholic, his resignation was requested. According to Thomas Molloy, writing in the Irish Independent, It had no qualms about selling drink to Catholics but it did everything it could to avoid employing them until the 1960s. Guinness thought they brewed their last porter in 1973. In the 1970s, following declining sales, the decision was taken to make Guinness Extra Stout more drinkable. The gravity was subsequently reduced, and the brand was relaunched in 1981. Pale malt was used for the first time, and isomerized hop extract began to be used. In 2014, two new porters were introduced: West Indies Porter and Dublin Porter.
