Aljezur Portugal (HD)
ALJEZUR, é uma vila portuguesa pertencente ao distrito de Faro, localizada em pleno Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina. É uma terra de origens remotas, habitada desde os tempos pré-históricos, cuja antiguidade é atestada pelos muitos vestígios arqueológicos que têm sido encontrados. A zona histórica que se estende pela encosta, oferece uma vista particular de ruas estreitas com casas caiadas e vãos coloridos em volta das janelas. Do património arquitectónico destacam-se: O Castelo de Aljezur, construído pelos árabes no sec.X e que actualmente se encontra em estado de ruína, conservando ainda as muralhas e duas torres, de onde se observa em toda a volta uma vista panorâmica deslumbrante; A Igreja da Misericórdia, no centro histórico da vila; o Museu de Arte Sacra, instalado no edifício do antigo Hospital da Misericórdia; a Casa Museu Pintor José Cercas na Rua do Castelo e ainda a Igreja Matriz de Nossa Sra de Alva, também chamada Igreja Nova. Fora da vila, a costa de Aljezur com mais de 40 Km de extensão, é um tesouro repleto de vida marinha e belíssimas praias, quase em estado selvagem, frequentadas principalmente por praticantes de surf.by*carl0spais*2013

Portugal : Dans les bras d'Évora
Ville blanche perchée sur sa colline à l'abri de ses murailles, Évora a longtemps été la résidence préférée des souverains portugais. Outre une densité exceptionnelle d'églises et de monuments, la capitale de l'Alentejo a gardé toute sa douceur de vivre.
Visitar Leiria | Portugal
Um video sobre Leiria, um percurso pelo centro histórico de Leiria, a partir do seu Castelo. Leiria mantém ainda a sua traça medieval, e a sua Misericórdia e Casa dos Pintores são pontos importantes para conhecer o passado da sua comunidade Judaica. A Casa dos Pintores, um exemplar da arquitectura medieval, tem exposto o famoso Almanach Perpetuum, uma tabela da declinação solar, para os mareantes determinarem a sua latitude, criado pelo matemático Abraão Zacuto. O Convento de Sto. Agostinho, actual Museu de Leiria, onde existe importante informação sobre o passado de Leiria, acontecimentos e mitos. Recomendo vivamente a visita ao Moinho de Papel, conhecer a forma como antigamente se produzia o papel, num edificio industrial do séc. XV recuperado segundo o projecto de Siza Vieira.

Explore the Algarve, Portugal (Ep. 1) - LAGOA | TRAVEL VLOG
This video brings together a bunch of clips of my day in the city of Lagoa, in the Algarve region, Portugal. It is the first in a series of videos of the Algarve!
Lagoa is famous most specially by the Benagil cave, which I will need to go back again to visit. But here you get to experiment a bit of the Carvoeiro and Senhora da Rocha beaches, both amazing and breathtaking.
As a bonus, I also visited Convento de São José.
This city is absolutely charming and I totally recommend spending sometime there if you visit the Algarve.

São Domingos Mine:
The mining area of Sao Domingos, part of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, was from ancient times a sought after place for the extraction of minerals and there is evidence of gold, silver and copper mining works since the pre-Roman and Roman period.
Its modern operation began in 1854, at the initiative of the “Mason & Barry” mining company, which continued to operate it until 1966, with around 108 years of regular operation extracting more than 20 million tons of ore (copper, zinc, lead and sulfur). Mina de S. Domingos was the largest Portuguese mining area until the 1930s, with a continuously labour force of over a thousand workers. The mine provided a local development level much higher than the one experienced in the rest of the country. Here it was built, for example, one of the first railways to make the connection between the mine and the old river port in Pomarão. Also here it was built the first power plant in Alentejo. The local community also had accesses to a local hospital and movie theatre among other facilities.
The end of the mining exploitation – combined with the absence of an adequate rehabilitation, abandonment and subsequent vandalism of the remaining heritage – dictated the progressive decay of the territory and the population exodus. Nowadays, the development strategy is focused on the search for resolutions to the environmental problems and to the protection and valuation of the mining heritage.
On the 3rd of June 2013 the mine and urban area of Mina de S. Domingos was classified by the Portuguese authorities as a “Set of Public Interest” and currently this urban area and also the old industrial complex are part of a tour circuit that evokes the history and the living memory of the mine.
Beach:
The fluvial beach of Tapada Grande is located in the interior of the Alentejo, in Mina de São Domingos, municipality of Mértola.
It is a blue flag beach and swimmer, located in a wonderful place and with all the conditions for adults and children to have a good time.
The beach has sun hats, picnic tables and barbecues available. Next to the beach there is a bar restaurant with terrace where you can have a refreshment or a meal. On the beach has canoes and pedalos that you can rent for a stroll by the calm waters of the reservoir.
Talasnal - Schist Village - Lousã - Portugal HD
This is, for a long time, the schist village of Serra da Lousã, which has given more visibility and charisma to the whole. Because of its size and layout, but also because of the many details of the recoveries of its houses. And also by the way the village seduces us by the mouth.
The fountain and tank emit the melody that accompanies our visit. The houses are decorated with the branches of the vines.
The main alley follows the slope of the slope on a steep path. From it derive from the quays and alleys, which create an environment of discovery that everyone likes to explore waiting for the surprise of a new nook.
Discovering this village means immersing yourself in the magical world of the Serra da Lousã and engulfing yourself in lush vegetation where deer, bucks, wild boars and many other species lurk. Here Nature reigns, sensitive, that demands respect. But that allows numerous possibilities of leisure and active sports. Here the pulsar of the earth is felt and its communion with the men when the villages are seen in the distance. They seem to have been born from schist soil, of course, like trees.
