hi! I hope you're having a lovely day :) feel free to ignore this if you don't want to do more work on tumblr lol, but you seem very knowledgeable about all sorts of historical and touristy things in Portugal, so I figured I'd ask anyway!

I'm going to north Portugal in September on my honeymoon, we're spending 5 days in Porto, then a couple of days near the Douro valley, and then a few days near Manteigas in the Serra da Estrela national park.

me and my husband are both very into museums/art galleries and historic buildings - is there anything in Porto that we absolutely shouldn't miss whilst we're there? is there any particular food we should try? do you have any recommendations for cafes or restaurants to visit?

Hi! Very glad to answer!

Porto is beautiful and I promise you are going to love it, and I admit I'm excited about you going to Serra da Estrela. It's so quiet at that time of the year, all you hear is nature, it's just so peaceful. Also, please try the cheese. Serra da Estrela cheese is a sin, it's so good, and you can go straight to the source there.

In Porto, there is a lot to see, especially if you enjoy museums, monuments and galleries, so I'll list a few things:

Palácio da Bolsa is a must, in my opinion. I believe they have guided tours, if you are interested in that.

Clérigos Church, Hospital and Tower. The view from up there is amazing, but the whole building is rich with history and super interesting, and the church is beautiful.

Porto's Cathedral, which includes the Chapter House and has some amazing artworks inside.

The entire area of the old Borrough of Porto, which is the hill where the Cathedral sits on. That is where the oldest house in Porto is (in Beco dos Redemoinhos, it's about 700 years old), or where the "stairs of the queen" also are, said to have been the stairs taken Countess Teresa on her way to the church that would later become the Cathedral, and the watch tower in front of it.

There are points of interest you might come across as must-sees in Porto but you're better off standing there looking at it cause they're either expensive or they're a McDonalds. The McDonalds building is beautiful, yes. Majestic café is a unique art nouveau building, but it's SO expensive.

On that note, Lello. Lello is interesting and super beautiful, I am not one to discourage people from visiting it. But expect a long line. (it's right next to Clérigos and you can see it from there...). However, you can buy the tickets online (I think they're 5€) and that allows you to skip the line, and if you buy a book, the price of the ticket is deducted from your purchase.

For museums, Soares dos Reis has a lot of art, from painting to sculpture to decorative arts, and it's rich with some of the most important portuguese artists, focused mostly on the circle of Porto, especially from the 19th century.

Porto is known ofr being a vast sea of blue and white tiles. You don't have to look for them, you will just find them. However, Capelinha das Almas and Church of Santo Ildefonso are a good example (Ildefonso stares at Clérigos directly... they were once rivals).

And on THAT note... São Bento Train Station. It is worth it just standing there admiring the architecture and the tiles (keep in mind a lot of these things are stuff you can just include on a long walk)

Some streets... Rua das Flores, or famously Rua de Santa Catarina (where you'll find Majestic and Capelinha das Almas) they're all just very nice walks. Same for Ribeira (the riverside). No plans, just a walk while enjoying the view.

If you are interested in Contemporary Art, Fundação Serralves. At the very least, the gardens are wonderful and they're just a great place to rest and enjoy the afternoon (I think they have cafés there too, but I haven't been there in years, now).

Go on a Douro Valley tour. I cannot emphasise how great these are. You get to visit a handful of cellars, try several wines and enjoy a ride across the Douro. In Porto itself, they also have boat rides across the Douro, some might have wine, I'm not sure, but I find it so much more enriching to do a Douro Valley tour and be able to visit the cellars.

As for food and where to eat, I am not going to give you any restaurant names because I KNOW I have people from Porto who follow me and they can answer that better than I can, but there's 2 things I usually tell people to try in Porto.

One, of course, is Francesinha. It's going to feel like it's a lot. I call it a tower of bread with fibre for days. But try it, because nowhere else in Portugal can they make them as well as they make them in Porto. Besides it's one of the most important hallmarks of Porto culture, and I find that it's a fundamental experience in your journey to try Francesinha. It's like going to Valencia and trying Paella, you just HAVE to.

The other one is a personal opinion and choice of mine because, well, Portugal is known for codfish dishes and my all time favourite codfish dish was born in Porto and it's Bacalhau à Gomes Sá. If I'm not mistaken, it was born on a restaurant that was nearby Ribeira, somewhere in that area, and they actually put up a goddamn plaque celebrating this

Ribeira is the easiest place to find this dish, but it's going to be above average in price (I can guarantee you someone will come into this post to scream that it's a complete theft how expensive it is, but we're just poor and cheapskates, and the restaurants aren't bad. Again, they're going to be above average but not all are ridiculously overprices).

On a final note, if you're interested in doing a walk tour of Porto, there are several companies that do so, but I happen to know a guide who is currently living and working in Porto and I can ask her availability and you guys can agree on something if you're interested. Just let me know!

I hope you have an amazing time!!!!

Anything else, let me know!!

Ancora una volta alla Geo Barents è stato assegnato il porto di La Spezia, la mia città.

Ancora una volta la ormeggera' mio marito.

La prima volta, con l'infinito coraggio e la schiettezza che lo contraddistinguono, disse apertamente al comandante delle operazioni che con tutti i soldi spesi per navi d'appoggio, polizia a frotte, elicotteri nei cieli, a controllare questo pugno di uomini, donne e bambini disperati,u avremmo potuti far venire tutti quanti comodamente in aereo, rispettandone la dignità.

Ecco quella volta, appena sbarcati, giusto il tempo di una prima accoglienza, furono rimandati tutti in pullman a Bari.

Operazione direi di una logica disarmante.

Poi penso a mia figlia, che da mesi sta cercando un volo conveniente per Santo Domingo e scarta sistematicamente quelli con scalo più lungo di tre ore.

Prospettive di vita.

La fortuna di nascere dalla parte giusta del mondo.

Di giustizia sociale e morale neanche l'ombra.

L'unica ombra che sappiamo offrire è quella di un tendone per le visite mediche e quella di una pensilina in attesa di imbarco per tornare al sud.

L'unica ombra che sappiamo offrire è quella dei pregiudizi o nel miglior caso del menefreghismo.

E cerchiamo voli senza scali.

La comodità prima di tutto, quando si va in vacanza.

It’s Sunday so let’s share some beautiful Churches and their facade with azulejo tiles.

Azulejos have their origin in the Arabic word az-zillij meaning “polished stone.” King Manuel I introduced them into Portugal after a visit to Seville in 1503. The tin-glazed ceramics can be found in the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses and nowadays, restaurants bars and even railways or subways stations. Many azuléjos chronique major historical and cultural aspects of Spanish and Portuguese history.

1/ Igreja do Carmo (Carmo Chruch)… One of the oldest building in the historic part of Porto. It’s actually a combination of two buildings, one sating from the 1600s and the other from the 1700s. Originally it was builds for the Carmelite order of the Roman Catholic Church and was used as a convent.The exterior wall of the building is covered in tiles depicting the history of the Carmelite order

2/ Igreja Paroquial de Sao Nicolau (Parish Church of St Nicholas)… after a fire in 1758, the church was reconstructed in 1762 in a mixed Neoclassical and Baroque style. The facade was covered with tiles in 1861

3/ Capela Das Almas de Santa Caterina (Chapel of Souls)… The style of the church is basically neoclassical but the church is noted for its coverings of azulejo tiles. The 16,000 glowing blue and white tiles depicts scenes from the lives of Saint Catherine and Saint Francis of Assisi.

4/ Igreja de Santa Ildefonso (Church of Saint Ildefonso)… Constructed of granite, the shape of the church’s main body is that of a elongated octogone with decorative plater ceiling. Approximately 11,000 azulejo tiles cover the facade of the church which were created by artist Jorge Colaço and placed in novembre 1932. The tiles depict scenes from the life of Saint Illdefonso and figurative imagery from the Gospels.

5/ Igreja de Santo António dos Congregados (St Anthony’s Church of the Gatherers)… The church is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. The building was constructed during the late part of the 17th century, The church replaced the original church a which stood on this land for several hundred years. The tiles work tells the story of St Anthony and the Asdsu;potion of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

PSP e mais quatro entidades prometem defender direitos dos estrangeiros detidos

Um grupo de cinco entidades, entre as quais o Serviço Jesuíta aos Refugiados, a PSP e a Provedoria de Justiça, comprometeu-se hoje a defender os direitos dos estrangeiros detidos, nomeadamente com melhores condições nos centros de detenção temporária.

Além do Serviço Jesuíta aos Refugiados (JRS), da PSP e da Provedoria de Justiça, também a Organização Internacional para as Migrações e a organização Médicos do Mundo assinaram hoje uma “declaração de compromisso de defesa dos direitos humanos dos cidadãos estrangeiros e requerentes de asilo nos centros de detenção em Portugal”.

A declaração não tem vínculo jurídico, mas as cinco entidades comprometeram-se com seis objetivos, desde logo “melhorar as condições de detenção dos Centros de Instalação Temporária (CIT) e Espaços Equiparados (EECIT) ”, tornando “estes espaços mais humanos”.

Em declarações à Lusa no final da assinatura da declaração de compromisso, que decorreu no Museu do Oriente, em Lisboa, o diretor-geral do JRS disse acreditar que o compromisso melhore as condições dos vários centros de detenção temporária, apontando que isso já vem a acontecer desde que a PSP assumiu as funções policiais do Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF).

“A assinatura desta declaração conjunta é um sinal de que queremos olhar para as migrações como uma riqueza, como um grande bem que acontece às sociedades, mas que é preciso trabalhar para conseguir mitigar situações de injustiça”, defendeu André Costa Jorge.

O diretor-nacional da PSP salientou o trabalho “centrado nas pessoas e para as pessoas, em concreto nos cidadãos migrantes”.

“Os desafios colocados no âmbito das migrações são diversos e exigem atuações integrais. Em todas as áreas de atuação policial, os direitos fundamentais dos cidadãos são a pedra basilar do serviço policial e é este o nosso compromisso diário, proteger e respeitar os direitos fundamentais dos cidadãos”, apontou o superintendente-chefe José Barros Correia.

O coordenador do Mecanismo Nacional de Prevenção, na alçada da provedora de Justiça, adiantou à Lusa que o organismo visitou em final de 2023 e já em 2024 o EECIT de Lisboa, no aeroporto, e que não voltaram a encontrar a situação que provocou mais apreensão no ano passado, que tinha a ver com requerentes de asilo a dormir na zona internacional do aeroporto.

“Penso que este compromisso (…) vem fortalecer e dar um novo ânimo a esta colaboração que já existe”, defendeu Miguel Feldmann, para quem a melhoria das condições no EECIT de Lisboa teve a ver com “uma aprendizagem no terreno da PSP, que tem feito todos os esforços para acolher as recomendações” do mecanismo.

A assinatura da declaração é a reta final do projeto “Monitoring Detention” (monitorização da detenção), uma iniciativa do JRS Europa que comparou as condições de detenção em 14 países da Europa, entre os quais Portugal.

A coordenadora do gabinete de ‘advocacy’ do JRS adiantou à Lusa que o CIT do Porto, também conhecido como Unidade Habitacional de Santo António, foi apontado como exemplo de boas práticas, desde logo “por ser o único” no qual o JRS tem uma presença permanente.

Carmo Belford adiantou que do projeto saiu ainda um segundo relatório, com recomendações no campo jurídico, como a formação obrigatória dos advogados em matéria de direitos humanos e questões migratórias ou a revisão da medida de coação de colocação em CIT de oito em oito dias.

“Todo este projeto tem como fim último provar que a detenção é desnecessária e que podem ser promovidas medidas menos gravosas não privativas da liberdade”, apontou a responsável.

A declaração conjunta contempla ainda que as várias entidades respeitem a dignidade humana, vida e integridade dos cidadãos estrangeiros detidos, combatam a criminalização das migrações irregulares, promovam os direitos humanos dos cidadãos estrangeiros detidos, assegurem a formação adequada dos funcionários que trabalham nos centros de detenção e colaborem na promoção de alternativas à detenção.

[ad_1] Planning a food-themed trip in Europe is one of the continent’s greatest joys. From Copenhagen’s world-renowned Nordic cuisine to Turkey’s transcontinental flavours, Europe’s best foodie destinations are as diverse as the continent’s many cultures. Choosing where to chow down on your travels, though, is a challenge. Some of the most beloved food cities in Europe, such as Paris and Barcelona, are long-standing classics. Yet, Europe’s up-and-coming culinary destinations can be as surprising as they are affordable. With the first Portugal-dedicated MICHELIN Guide being published this February, Copenhagen’s game-changing Noma set to close its doors later this year, and Lithuania’s unsung cuisine commanding a spotlight at Vilnius’ recently established Pink Soup Fest, 2024 could be the year to consider a lesser-visited foodie region for your European gastronomic getaway. Whether you want to indulge in a Georgian feast and thousands of years of viticulture or take a French food tour far from Paris, these are some of Europe’s best food cities and regions to build your next delicious trip around. Portugal’s quality of Atlantic seafood makes the country one of Europe’s best food destinations Porto, Portugal I’ve been calling Portugal home for six years and holidaying here for decades. Seeing the transformation in the country’s food scene has been incredible. I couldn’t have been more proud to attend this year’s first-ever Portugal-only MICHELIN Gala Dinner and see so many young chefs celebrated for their innovation. Yet, while some dining rooms have gotten fancier and many chefs more creative, I love that Portuguese cuisine has remained mainly traditional, with the quality of ingredients always taking pride of place. And while the Algarve’s Mediterranean diet is delicious, and Lisbon boasts plenty of tourist-focused dining rooms, I would argue that Porto is the country’s epicurean capital. This northern city more than holds its own against Europe’s more established food cities. Portugal’s Chef of the Year 2023, the ingenious and young Vasco Coelho Santos, has a handful of top-notch restaurants here. The Atlantic bounty ensures a steady stream of first-class seafood. And with The Douro snaking inland from the city, a perfect glass of Port or a premium bottle of wine is always at hand. Plus, Porto’s prices are pretty wallet-friendly, whether you’re eating traditional tripe at a low-key tasca or splurging on a seat at a chef’s table. Standout dishes, dining rooms and food experiences in Porto Deciding what and where to eat in Porto is all part of the fun. Want something traditional? Order a francesinha, a croque-monsieur-inspired sandwich stacked with cheese, smoked sausage, and meat in a slightly spiced beer sauce – A Regaleira serves the original. Or devour bacalhau à gomes de sá, Porto’s take on Portugal’s beloved salted cod fish. Alternatively, follow in the footsteps of Anthony Bourdain and try tripas à moda do porto – a bean and tripe stew hailing from less affluent times – at A Cozinha do Martinho. If you’d like to indulge, I can’t recommend Chef Rui Paula’s ocean-view Casa do Boa Cho Nova or Vasco Coelho Santos’ Euskalduna Studio enough for fish-heavy, Michelin-starred tasting menus.  Over a weekend in Porto, you can easily flit between the Port lodges of Gaia across the river, stroll the sights and atmospheric restaurants along the Ribeira, snack and shop at Bolhão Market, and even fit in a train or boat trip to the Douro’s vineyards. If you want a more intimate experience with one of Portugal’s best chefs, contact The Art of Tasting Portugal, where the lovely Patricia and her team will help you see the city through the eyes (and palate) of a local gourmand.  In Lyon, sausages of all kinds are one the start of a gourmands getaway Lyon, France  Lyon is one of France’s best cities to plan a gastronomic getaway. In fact, many would say it’s not just the country’s best city for cuisine but the “Food Capital of the World”.

Yes, forget Paris’s fast-paced brasseries, pretty boulangeries and intimate bistros and set your foodie sights on Lyon’s bouchons, the typical restaurants of France’s third-largest city. But why is Lyon considered one of Europe’s best food cities? Well, Lyonnaise cuisine has evolved over many centuries, from Romans introducing wine and perfecting their pork products to Italian influence arriving and upping the game in the 16th century. However, the city’s surrounding terroir has always been a constant. With the Alps on its doorstep, the Mediterranean to the south, and the fertile farmlands ideal for rearing livestock to the north, it’s well placed at Europe’s culinary crossroads – it’s a city where both Butter and Olive Oil are common rather than competition. Add all of these excellent regional flavours, the nearby wine appellations, Lyon’s atmospheric dining rooms and a gorgeous Old Town with plenty of al fresco terraces together, and you’ve got one of Europe’s best destinations to eat and then eat some more.  Lyon’s Old Town is pretty and delicious, making it one of Europe’s best food cities Must-try dishes, restaurants and food tours in Lyon Pork is plentiful in Lyonnaise cuisine, and charcuterie comes in hundreds of forms. Boudin Noir blood sausages, coarse-stuffed andouillette served with mustard, and the crimson-coloured Rosette de Lyon, a cured saucisson, are just a few favourites. Heartier meals, such as meat-stuffed quenelle dumplings bathing in a creamy sauce or coq au vin, a rich, red-wine-soaked chicken dish feature on nearly every menu. When you need a break from meat, a poached-egg-topped salade lyonnaise is a light lunch break. For a Michelin-starred tasting, you can’t go wrong at the legendary, late Paul Bocuse’s restaurant or ingenious Guy Lassausaie’s contemporary dining room. More affordable daily lunch menus are easily found on a stroll around the river-flanked Presqu’île arrondissement. Still, Lyon is even better if you extend your visit to include a nearby wine region, such as Beaujolais or Burgandy. Book one of these incredible culinary travel packages through east-central France, and not only will you sample Lyon’s delights, but you’ll also tour vineyards bottling oaked Chardonnays and young Gamays, which pair perfectly with your epicurean adventure. Pintxos are just one famous sample of what makes Spain’s Basque Country one of the best food destinations in Europe Basque Country, Spain San Sebastián, or Donostia locally, is arguably Spain’s best city to visit for a foodie trip in Europe. For centuries, it has been a utopia for pintxos (the region’s first-class finger foods), secretive gastronomic societies, and chefs looking to lead their class at the world-renowned Basque Culinary Centre. Yet this beautiful, beach-facing city in Spain’s north is only the appetiser – the Basque Country’s degustation also includes crisp, lightly sparkling txakoli wines, ruby red Riojas, and traditional dishes that lean on the fertile land as much as the sparkling sea. Pull all of this together, and you’ve got one of Europe’s best foodie destinations. Spend a couple of days in San Sebastián enjoying bar crawls around the Parte Vieja (Old Town), where it’s all about bar tops laden high with delicious pintxos rather than boozing. Then, head inland to the gorgeous Medieval town of Laguardia. This is where the Basque Country and the famous Rioja Alavesa wine region meet, and a warren of underground tunnels hold all the wine secrets – Bodega El Fabulista is indeed fabulous. Lastly, loop back towards the coast, where the port city of Bilbao offers some of the best-value provincial dishes. Treat yourself to a tasting in an authentic Rioja wine cellar The best dishes and culinary experiences in the Basque Country While San Sebastián is often regarded as Europe’s best food city, you’ll find excellent dishes all across the Basque Country. Away from the perfectly-formed pintxos – Calle 31 de Agosto is the

place to start your bar crawl – provincial plates such as marmitako (tuna stew), bacalao al pil pil (a slightly spicy and salted cod dish), and txipirones en su tinta (baby squids cooked in ink) provide a more filling meal. End the night with burnt Basque cheesecake, perhaps from La Viña, and you’ll be in foodie heaven. None of this needs to cost a fortune, but if you fancy a Michelin-starred splurge, Etxanobe Atelier in Bilbao or Elena Arzak’s self-titled, three-starred restaurant in San Sebastián are a worthy investment.  If you’d prefer to let someone else handle all the arrangements, I highly recommend Intrepid’s Northern Spain Food Tour, which I took a few years back. From Barcelona to Santiago de Compostela, it was a mouthwatering journey, with much of our time spent devouring everything the Basque Country has to offer. The bonus of taking a tour like this is you will get access to a txoko, one of San Sebastián’s intimate, low-key, invited-only communal kitchens where you can enjoy a true taste of neighbourhood hospitality and Basque cuisine. Italy is renowned as Europe’s best food destination, with each region retaining local specialities Florence, Italy Write a list of the best food cities in Europe, and there will be plenty of Italian options vying for the top spot. And while Emilia Romagna is perhaps my favourite Italian region for food, Florence might be the most all-rounded city to take a bite out of Italian cuisine. Yes, pizza and pasta are staples on any trip to this culinary-blessed country, but Tuscan cuisine goes beyond the headliners. All of the region’s flavours and acclaimed wines have had plenty of time to be perfected in one of the country’s most visited UNESCO-listed cities. Of course, eating is one of the best things to do in Italy no matter where you are, but like every region, Tuscan cuisine has developed on its own terms. The first clue is in the name. From the Etruscans, the region’s ancient civilization, to contemporary, modern-day chefs, many have played a part in writing Florence’s menu. Simple, fresh ingredients are plentiful. Bread is uncomplicated and unsalted thanks to a 16th-century tax. Olive Oil is on a whole other level. And meat dishes, such as thick-cut steaks and wild game, are as commonplace as cantucci, Tuscany’s typical almond cookies often called biscotti. Florence’s architecture pairs perfectly with Tuscan provincial flavours Tuscan dishes, top restaurants and foodie walks in Florence What makes Florence such a fantastic food destination in Europe is the diversity of restaurants. Given its prominence as a tourism hotspot, you’ll find plenty of popular and pricey eateries around the historic centre, especially near the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio. But across the river in local, laid-back Oltrarno, you can gorge on more affordable trattorie. Wherever you are, don’t miss the chance to sample the region’s signature pasta dishes, such as thick, ribbon-like pappardelle – often served al cinghiale, aka with a wild boat ragù – or stuffed tortelli. Tuscany’s unsalted bread is also commonplace with garlic and oil-topped fettunta (think a Tuscan bruschetta) and pappa al pomodoro, a thick bread and tomato soup found on most menus. Want some high-quality meat? Bistecca alla Fiorentina is always the answer. Pair any of these with one of Tuscany’s standout wines – red is more typical here, Chianti being the most internationally recognised label – and you’ll have a foodie weekend fit for royalty. If you want to upgrade your insights, consider taking this foodie tour in Florence to meet the local farmers, bakers, and chefs as you discover Tuscan flavours in all their forms. And if you’re seeking a special spot to celebrate in one of Italy’s most romantic cities, you won’t have to look far. Settle into a courtyard table at Michelin-starred Enoteca Pinchiorri, and you’ll be well placed for both a proposal and a provincial feast. Khinkali, Georgia’s excellent mince-stuffed soupy dumplings, are one of Europe’s best dishes

Georgia (yes, the whole country) When it comes to discussing the best food in Europe, Georgian cuisine is often tragically overlooked. Yet this country has gifted the world some of the oldest and best wines you’ll find, dishes with so much creamy cheese they should be criminal, and perhaps the most perfect dumplings you’ll ever try. This is one of my favourite foodie destinations in Europe to feast, something that’s so ingrained into the culture that supras – seemingly never-ending, table-piled-high feasts – are an integral part of society. Not that this is anything new. Winemaking in Georgia goes back some 8000 years. After enjoying your first glass of qvevri – the traditional method of production in clay vessels – aged red wine from Saperavi or little-known white Rkatsiteli, you’ll see what all the fuss is about. The table is equally historical, and Georgian cuisine has been influenced by ancient grilling practices (mtsvadi), neighbouring nations, Mediterranean travellers, and Old Silk Road seasonings. Still, there’s even more to discover beyond the national dishes, as each region proudly retains its local specialities. My friend Nicky and I couldn’t get enough of Restaurant Amra’s Abkhazian wines and dishes What and where to eat and drink in Georgia Georgia doesn’t have a Michelin Guide – it honestly doesn’t need one. Instead, take yourself on a self-guided food tour around Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital and one of Europe’s most underrated cities, and you’ll find endless affordable restaurants to try dishes from every region. The Abanotubani district is where most of the touristy restaurants are, but it’s well worth exploring further. Two of my favourite spots are Chashnagiri, a local chain where you can try many different dishes affordably, and Amra, which specialises in dishes and wines from the Abkhazia region. Whatever you do, don’t miss khinkali, Georgia’s excellent mince-stuffed dumplings, which have their own eating method to sip the soup inside. Khachapuri, a boat-like bread stuffed with cheese and an egg, is utterly indulgent. Badrijani, eggplant and walnut paste rolls are divine. And chkmeruli, a slow-cooked garlic-sauced chicken dish, is one of my favourites. Honestly, just thinking about these dishes makes me salivate. It’s easy enough to go it alone and eat your way through Tbilisi and Georgia. But, if you fancy a food tour or want to visit a wine region, reach out to my old housemates Tom & Megan, who run Eat This Food Tours in Tbilisi, and they’ll happily guide you through Georgia’s gastronomy.

Falta de água no Algarve é a pior de sempre mesmo após as chuvas

O vice-presidente da Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente (APA), José Pimenta Machado, disse que o Algarve está "na pior situação de sempre" em relação à falta de água, mesmo depois das chuvas dos primeiros meses do ano.

“É verdade que as chuvas de janeiro e fevereiro trouxeram alguma água para as albufeiras do Algarve e isso é uma boa notícia, mas estamos piores do que no passado e estamos na pior situação de sempre na região”, disse aquele responsável.

José Pimenta Machado falava na inauguração de uma exposição dedicada ao Dia Mundial da Água, que marca também o lançamento do projeto do Museu Nacional e Arquivo dos Recursos Hídricos, a instalar numa antiga fábrica de papel no Rio Caima, em Valmaior, Albergaria-a-Velha (Aveiro).

Embora o país esteja hoje, em média, com as albufeiras a 87%, referiu, persistem os problemas no litoral alentejano e no Algarve, e no futuro a previsão é a de que haja menos água, advertiu o vice-presidente da APA.

Para aquele responsável, antes de tudo, é preciso agir para haver uma gestão da água mais eficiente, sem prejuízo de se avançar com novas barragens.

“Não faz sentido nenhum ter uma rede em que se perde 50% ou 60% da água”, criticou, defendendo que “a primeira prioridade deve ser dada à eficiência dos sistemas”.

É que não basta ter mais barragens, se elas não tiverem água e exemplificou: “temos de aumentar reservas de água, mas temos hoje três barragens que ainda estão a menos de 20%, sendo duas no Algarve e uma no Alentejo”.

No caso particular do Algarve, a solução para o vice-presidente da APA está na dessalinização da água do mar, sendo essa a outra aposta que tem de se fazer.

“Vamos fazer a primeira grande central de dessalinização na zona do Algarve, em Albufeira [distrito de Faro], e é tão importante para a região”, sublinhou José Pimenta Machado.

O dirigente lembrou que Portugal foi o primeiro país europeu a ter uma central de dessalinização, na ilha do Porto Santo, na região da Madeira, que “funciona bem” e é “muito importante” para a ilha.

Pimenta Machado visitou em Albergaria-a-Velha a reabilitação de uma vala hidráulica em São João de Loure e a exposição “Recursos Hídricos: História, Sociedade e Saber”.

O Algarve está em situação de alerta devido à seca desde 05 de fevereiro, tendo o Governo aprovado um conjunto de medidas de restrição ao consumo, nomeadamente a redução de 15% no setor urbano, incluindo o turismo, e de 25% na agricultura.

A estas medidas somam-se outras como o combate às perdas nas redes de abastecimento, a utilização de água tratada na rega de espaços verdes, ruas e campos de golfe ou a suspensão da atribuição de títulos de utilização de recursos hídricos.

O Governo já admitiu elevar o nível das restrições, declarando o estado de emergência ambiental ou de calamidade, caso as medidas agora implementadas sejam insuficientes para fazer face à escassez hídrica na região.
