  • Portugal S Breathtaking Silver Coast
    ATLAS PROPERTY PORTUGAL PORTUGAL S BREATHTAKING SILVER COAST T:+351 262 833 500 E: [email protected] W: www.atlaspropertyportugal.com ATLAS PROPERTY PORTUGAL The Silver Coast The Silver Coast of Portugal or Costa de Prata is listed as the No 3 investment region in Channel 4's "A Place In the Sun". The region is incredibly beautiful and possesses not only some of the best beaches in Europe but also picturesque medieval towns and villages where the people are friendly and welcoming. The rolling countryside offers patchwork of vineyards and fruit & market farming whilst the Atlantic coast yields some of the best sea-food in Portugal. With the cost of living a fraction of the Algarve and the opening up of the region by the A8 motorway from Lisbon, the area is becoming a popular investment & holiday destination. Some of the best golf courses in Portugal including true links can be found in this region. It is more favoured by golf enthusiasts than the Algarve as the courses are quieter, cheaper and better. Properties on these resorts have experienced strong capital growth over the last few years and demand continues to be strong. Property outside resorts can still be found at incredible prices e.g. in towns like Lourinha but these are set to rise as the region continues to be discovered by investors and holiday makers across Europe & further afield. With learnings from the Algarve, the Government is carefully controlling the developments in the area to ensure the beauty of the Silver Coast region is maintained. This has slowed down the construction but improved the quality which is good for any new investor.

  • Communist Trade Unionism and Industrial Relations on the French Railways, 1914–1939
    Fellow Travellers Communist Trade Unionism and Industrial Relations on the French Railways, 1914–1939 STUDIES IN LABOUR HISTORY 13 Studies in Labour History ‘…a series which will undoubtedly become an important force in re-invigorating the study of Labour History.’ English Historical Review Studies in Labour History provides reassessments of broad themes along with more detailed studies arising from the latest research in the field of labour and working-class history, both in Britain and throughout the world. Most books are single-authored but there are also volumes of essays focussed on key themes and issues, usually emerging from major conferences organized by the British Society for the Study of Labour History. The series includes studies of labour organizations, including international ones, where there is a need for new research or modern reassessment. It is also its objective to extend the breadth of labour history’s gaze beyond conven- tionally organized workers, sometimes to workplace experiences in general, sometimes to industrial relations, but also to working-class lives beyond the immediate realm of work in households and communities.

Looking ahead to the near future, I envisage a transport system that closely meets the needs of its users, that is fast and intelligent but that minimises its environmental impact. The use of high-speed trains shows how this vision for the future can be made a reality today, thanks to the combined efforts of the Member States, partners from the industry and the financial support from the Union.
