They remember what it was like before: There is a model showing a Mira Beach that no longer exists

Notícias de Coimbra2 September 2026 at 12:34

There is a small model that shows a Mira Beach that no longer exists, revealing what this coastal area was like in the past. This model is hidden within Mira Beach itself, specifically inside the Lota building.

The Lota building houses this miniature representation of the beach, allowing visitors to visualize the ancient configuration of this coastal zone that has been transformed over time.

The model serves as a physical memory of the old configuration of Mira Beach, showing a past that is no longer visible in current reality. This is a space that preserves the historical memory of this Portuguese beach.

Lisbon, do I still fit here?

Chronicle by Francisco Mouta Rúbio in which the author searches for an authentic tasca (traditional tavern) in Lisbon, but ends up reflecting on the city's transformation due to mass tourism. Mouta Rúbio criticizes how Lisbon became a "company" that seeks to please only tourists, losing its identity and expelling residents. He imagines a post-tourism future, where hotels could be transformed into affordable housing and where the tourist tax should be used to buy houses and support housing cooperatives. The piece ends with the question "Lisbon, do I still fit here?", arguing that the city needs to choose between hospitality based on reciprocity or an industry that only privileges those who can pay.
