Bernardo Gaivão traveled undercover across the country for a month and a half. He wanted to look at…

Bernardo Gaivão traveled undercover through Portugal for a month and a half with the objective of analyzing Portugal's tourism sector from a foreigner's perspective. To carry out this experience, he used various nationality disguises, including Polish, Argentine, English, Spanish and French.

During the trip, Gaivão spoke exclusively in English or in macaronic Portuguese so as not to reveal his Portuguese identity. He traveled by tuk tuks through the city centers he visited, which allowed him a different and close-up perspective of the tourist environment.

The article is incomplete, so it is not possible to present a full summary of the complete content of the experience and Bernardo Gaivão's conclusions about tourism in Portugal.

Torrevieja Salt Lake: Looks Like a Scene from the "Barbie" Movie, But It's Very Real (and It's Right Next to Portugal)

The Salt Lake of Torrevieja, in Alicante, Spain, transforms into a vibrant pink setting during summer, particularly between August and September, due to a natural phenomenon involving Dunaliella salina microalgae and bacteria that produce carotenoids under conditions of high salinity and evaporation. The phenomenon, which has even attracted NASA's attention, is part of the Natural Park of the Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja, where salt pans managed by the Unión Salinera de España remain active. Visits are free along the trails and viewpoints, with guided train tours available for €12 for adults. From Portugal, there are direct flights to Alicante from €51 from Lisbon and €98 from Porto.

This opinion article from the Jornal do Algarve presents a cynical reflection on the language used in politics and sports, comparing how expressions like "strategic surprises and offensive posture," used by Iran regarding the United States, could easily be applied to football. The author notes how the discourse of footballers and politicians is frequently empty and permissive of multiple interpretations. In a second part, it addresses the issue of plastic recycling in Portugal, criticizing those who demand more recycling without confronting the practical problems of overflowing bins and collection machines at supermarkets, in a clearly ironic tone about the contradiction between demands and practices.
