Lisbon is a dream destination for foodies! Parts of the town will always be surprisingly hilly, however. Some of these streets have tram lines, potholes and an absence of designated bicycle lanes, so if you plan to cycle, you should be used to urban riding. Car drivers are now more often weekend cyclists and careful with cyclists, more than before. Riding on the footpaths is not recommended. Get advice at local bikeshops. There are nice and safe stretches from Baixa to Belem along the beautiful river Tejo water front known as the Poetry Bike Lane. Good spots for anyone to cycle safe are along the flat riverfront area streching from Parque das Nacoes, to the central area of Cais Sodre, where you can rent bikes. Just outside of Lisbon, you can take a free bike but often in poor condition and limited offer on trains or ferries along the coast from Estoril towards the beautiful beach of Guincho, reach Sintra , Cascais or Costa da Caparica.

  • The Colonial Architecture of Minas Gerais in Brazil*
    THE COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE OF MINAS GERAIS IN BRAZIL* By ROBERT C. SMITH, JR. F ALL the former European colonies in the New World it was Brazil that most faithfully and consistently reflected and preserved the architecture of the mother-country. In Brazil were never felt those strange indigenous influences which in Mexico and Peru produced buildings richer and more complicated in design than the very models of the peninsular Baroque.' Brazil never knew the exi gencies of a new and severe climate necessitating modifications of the old national archi tectural forms, as in the French and English colonies of North America, where also the early mingling of nationalities produced a greater variety of types of construction. And the proof of this lies in the constant imitation in Brazil of the successive styles of architecture in vogue at Lisbon and throughout Portugal during the colonial period.2 From the first establish- ments at Iguarassi3 and Sao Vicente4 down to the last constructions in Minas Gerais, the various buildings of the best preserved colonial sites in Brazil-at Sao Luiz do Maranhao,5 in the old Bahia,6 and the earliest Mineiro7 towns-are completely Portuguese.
