Accommodations: InterContinental Hotel Lisbon Price Per Person: $455 DAY 1 Welcome to Portugal’s Alentejo Your guides will greet you in Lisbon and drive east to the Spanish border. The Alentejo region is a stark contrast to the bustling metropolis of Lisbon, with its unhurried pace of life, rolling hills of gold and green, cork tree quintas, hundred-year-old olive groves, and flocks of sheep that roam the meadows. We’ll start our adventure in the town of Vila Viçosa with a delicious lunch before riding to the picturesque fortress of Juromenha. Cycle back to the hotel or hop in the van and head back to refresh at the hotel’s spa or pool. Tonight we dine in the delightful hotel restaurant.

A short but energetic climb takes us to the citadel and a marvelous marble castle that was built to survey the countryside. We ride back to Vila Viçosa after a light tapas-style lunch in Estremoz, stopping along the way to visit a massive marble quarry.

End the day with an optional ride all the way to Convento do Espinheiro, our luxurious hotel built around a 15th-century convent, or hitch a ride in the van. This evening, enjoy a complimentary tour of this incredible property and an optional wine tasting hosted in the hotel’s wine cellar.

    A Baseline Assessment

    A thematic network on High Value Farming Learning, Innovation & Knowledge LEARNING AREA « SÍTIO DE MONFURADO » (Portugal) A BASELINE ASSESSMENT Authors: Maria Isabel Ferraz-de-Oliveira, Teresa Pinto-Correia Date: June 2017 This project has received funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovations program under Grant Agreement No. 696391 1 Limits and key characteristics of the “Sítio de Monfurado” The Sítio de Monfurado (SM) lies within two municipalities, Montemor-o-Novo and Évora. With about 20 km long and 15 km wide, it has clear boundaries both to the south and east, but more complex and blurred to the north and west. The population density within the SM is low and concentrated in a few settlements. The diverse landscape is composed of different types of land cover in patches of various sizes: dense Montado, the characteristic silvo-pastoral system, with mixed tree cover, dense cork oak forests in the steep slopes and deep valleys, and both open grazing areas and irrigated crop areas, in the plains. The Montado is dominant and composes a mosaic with the other landcover types. This mosaic supports a rich and specific biodiversity. The landscape character in the Monfurado site is closely related to the dense Montado cover which dominates the SM. It is generally a High Nature Value (HNV) farming system. The property structure is composed by very large estates, except around towns and villages where small scale farms dominate. ------------------------------- References: Guiomar N., Pinto-Correia T.

    Weapons of the Weak in Portugal During the Early 20Th Century: the Example of the Central Alentejo1

    Weapons of the Weak in Portugal during the Early 20th Century: The Example of the Central Alentejo1 Jesús-Ángel Redondo Cardeñoso2 Abstract This article explores James C. Scott’s concept of weapons of the weak, taking advantage of the possibilities of applying it to the social history of rural Portugal. Using the example of the Central Alentejo region during the early twentieth century, I analyze the characteristics of the most common types of daily resistance practiced by the lower classes in the region (such as stealing acorns and olives or poaching and livestock trespassing), specifically focusing on their social aspects as an act of resistance. To do this, I use newspaper reports and archive material from the district authorities as well as documentation on the cases tried at the Arraiolos District Court during the ten-year period between 1908 and 1918. Keywords Weapons of the Weak, Produce Theft, Poaching, Livestock Trespassing, Alentejo. Resumo No seguinte texto aprofundaremos no estudo do conceito armas dos fracos (weapons of the weak) de James C. Scott, para aproveitar as potenciais possibilidades da sua aplicação na história social rural portuguesa. Por meio do exemplo do Alentejo Central nos inícios do século XX, analisaremos as caraterísticas das práticas de resistência quotidiana mais comuns executadas pelas classes populares da região (furto de bolotas e azeitonas, caça furtiva e invasão de gados), e especificamente mostraremos o seu carater social e de resistência. Para isso, utilizaremos documentação jornalística e arquivística da administração distrital, assim como as causas judiciais do Tribunal de Comarca de Arraiolos durante a década de 1908 até 1918.

    Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!

    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals. In this document you can find out more about the places you cannot miss in this city – excursions, restaurants and bars, among others.

    Eduardo Vii Park and the New Congress Center of Lisbon

    EXTENDED ABSTRACT ON THE REPORT OF ARCHITECTURE FINAL PROJECT II IN ORDER TO OBTAIN MASTER DEGREE ON ARCHITECTURE EDUARDO VII PARK AND THE NEW CONGRESS CENTER OF LISBON Vanessa Maria Mendonça Formas 69539 ADVISOR: Prof. Arq. António Salvador de Matos Ricardo da Costa Instituto Superior Técnico 2016-2017 ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS This project report has as objective the presentation and substantiation of the Project of the New Congress Centre of Lisbon, developed within the course Architecture Final Project II in collaboration with Lisbon’s City Council, throughout the 2015/2016 Academic Year. Located in the central axis of the city, Eduardo VII Park was picked for this exercise as a possible target for the framing of a new congress centre. To design and create an infrastructure of such scale and relevance requires a broad reflection in which either the revitalization of this urban area, either its articulation with the city as well as with the infrastructures that it’s involved by, must be taken into account. Therefore, this project let to decisions in an urban wide scale, in which rethinking the public space was at all times acknowledged as a primary matter in the conception of the main architectural elements. This project, in approach to the exercise, is guided by the conceptual principle of assuring the preservation of the identity of the park and its buildings, and at the same time accessing the demands of the large scale, in an effective manner Consequently, the patrimony relevance of the existent building Carlos Lopes Pavilion is presumed, and from there, a necessity to reconvert and integrate this landmark in the conception of the design became evident.
