Falar sobre a Ilha da Madeira, e do Arquipélago, vá…, daria para não um mas uma série de episódios. Numa região quase tão de África como da Europa, num clima quase sempre primaveril, a Madeira convida a uma visita cuidada, feita com calma e com tempo de sobra. Mas se o tempo não abunda para ti, uma fuga rápida e fugaz não pode, nem deve, ser colocada de parte.   E, se estás a ouvir este podcast, existe uma probabilidade grande de beberes cerveja. Numa terra conhecida pelo seu maravilhoso vinho, não poderás nunca deixar de provar uma bela cerveja artesanal num dos espaços mais entusiasmantes e que mais promove este néctar na região.   Olá, o meu nome é Ricardo Sousa e este é o meu podcast sobre cerveja artesanal, e o meu convidado de hoje vai-nos falar da sua experiência atrás de um balcão numa cidade que, para além dos seus encantos naturais, tem bem mais para oferecer. A pouco mais de 500 metros da Marina do Funchal, o Duarte Chaves assume as rédeas na luta contra a marginalização da cerveja artesanal numa zona onde, na maior parte das vezes, as marcas sentem dificuldades enormes em chegar.   Espero que gostes!

Paris foi um abrigo para muitos exilados portugueses e inscreveu-se no mapa das lutas políticas contra a ditadura e a guerra colonial. Comités de apoio a desertores, jornais, concertos de música de intervenção, teatro, angariação de fundos para as famílias de presos políticos e para os trabalhadores em luta em Portugal foram algumas das formas encontradas na emigração para resistir à ditadura portuguesa. Nos 50 anos do 25 de Abril, a RFI falou com vários resistentes ao Estado Novo. Neste programa, ouvimos, em Paris, Vasco Martins e Artur Monteiro de Oliveira.Entre 1961 e 1974, houve cerca de 9.000 desertores e 20.000 refractários, aos quais se juntaram 200.000 homens que nunca compareceram quando chamados pelos regimentos. Os dados são do historiador Miguel Cardina, baseado nos arquivos do exército português e retomados na obra “Refuser la Guerre Coloniale” (2019). A maioria exilou-se em França, outros instalaram-se no Luxemburgo, na Suécia, nos Países Baixos, na Dinamarca, na Alemanha, na Bélgica e no Reino Unido. Paris era quase sempre um local de passagem obrigatório e muitos jovens eram ajudados por redes familiares ou de amizade, organizações políticas e caritativas francesas e comités de apoio aos desertores.“Algumas dezenas” de exilados portugueses passaram pelo 15 Rue du Moulinet, em Paris, a casa onde vivia Vasco Martins depois do Maio de 68. Eram insubmissos, desertores e refractários que recusavam a guerra colonial. A história de Vasco Martins é contada no documentário “As Mãos Invisíveis”, de Hugo dos Santos, porque Vasco foi um desses anónimos que ajudou o movimento de apoio aos desertores.Fomos à Associação Memória Viva, presidida por Vasco Martins, em Paris, para viajarmos até àqueles tempos de luta. Ele começa por contar que foi viver para o número 15, Rue du Moulinet, depois de ter participado no Comité de Acção de Paris 14 durante o movimento de Maio de 68.No fim desse ano, fui para uma casa em Paris e nessa casa tive a oportunidade de começar a receber. Eu tinha condições possíveis para receber refractários e desertores e foi assim que começou. Quer dizer, não era realmente um comité nessa altura, mas foi aí que começou realmente a desenvolver-se. Eram refractários e desertores que vinham de Portugal, que atravessavam a Espanha clandestinos e que chegavam a França. E era a maneira de poder albergar e tentar arranjar-lhes trabalho de maneira a que as pessoas se pudessem desenrascar.Vasco Martins não sabe, ao certo, quantas pessoas acolheu, mas diz que foram “algumas dezenas”, não apenas jovens que saíam de Portugal antes de serem mandados para a guerra nos territórios colonizados, mas também “desertores que vinham da frente dos combates, nomeadamente da Guiné-Bissau”.Anos mais tarde, Vasco Martins descobriu que estava na mira da PIDE, assim como a sua casa na rua do Moulinet.Foi uma coisa que só vi muitos anos depois, na Torre do Tombo, onde estava realmente o meu mandado de captura pela PIDE. O 15 Rue du Moulinet foi denunciado e no comunicado da PIDE estava o meu nome completo. A PIDE dizia que tinha desmantelado uma rede de apoio aos refractários e desertores, que essa rede ia até o 15 Rue du Moulinet. Realmente estava um comunicado da PIDE, onde exigiam a minha captura. Houve jovens que falaram no café ou noutros sítios e chegou à PIDE através de bufos.O que o motivava a abrir a sua casa a tanta gente era, em primeiro lugar, “a vontade de acabar com a guerra colonial”. Depois, porque esperava que “em Portugal se criasse um regime realmente democrático que defendesse os interesses dos trabalhadores”. Por outro lado, acreditava simplesmente que era o seu “dever”.Vasco Martins era também refractário. Em Abril de 1961 foi à inspecção e em Setembro deveria começar a tropa. Totalmente contra a guerra colonial, que começou em Fevereiro desse ano, em Angola, Vasco deixou Setúbal rumo a Paris no Verão, a bordo de uma carrinha de ostras. Se a polícia perguntasse, era simplesmente o ajudante para carregar e descarregar a mercadoria que ia de Setúbal para Turim, na Itália.Pouco tempo depois de chegar a França, Vasco Martins começou a participar nos comités de apoio às famílias dos presos políticos em Portugal.A minha primeira actividade, logo nos primeiros anos em que eu cheguei a Paris, foi participar no apoio às famílias dos prisioneiros políticos. Havia reuniões, nomeadamente na Rua Vaugirard, onde - na altura não me tinha apercebido, mas depois apercebi-me -  havia realmente pessoas ligadas ao Partido Comunista Português e também a uma parte da Igreja Católica, padres, operários portugueses que participavam activamente nas campanhas que eram feitas. Vendíamos senhas e o dinheiro angariado era levado para Portugal para ajudar as famílias dos presos políticos.O combate continuou com a angariação de fundos para os trabalhadores em luta em Portugal e com a ajuda aos portugueses que já estavam ou chegavam a França.Nas associações e clubes, não só havia as actividades do futebol, havia as actividades de música, teatro e também procurávamos dar uma certa ajuda social no sentido de preencher os documentos em relação à assistência social e tudo isso. Por outro lado, era também falar a propósito da situação em Portugal. Criámos boletins e também jornais, nomeadamente o Jornal do Emigrante. Foi um dos primeiros a serem criados. Era graças ao apoio da Liga Portuguesa do Ensino e da Cultura Popular que distribuíamos e vendíamos também nos mercados e à volta de Paris e dentro de Paris também.Os fundos também eram angariados em festas, nas quais participavam cantores como José Mário Branco, Tino Flores, Francisco Fanhais e outros. O montante angariado e o destino do dinheiro era depois afixado nas associações e também, por exemplo, no jornal O Alarme, criado em 1972, em Grenoble, e que era vendido em Paris e noutras cidades.No clube da juventude franco-portuguesa, Vasco Martins também participou na campanha de denúncia internacional da deportação do opositor Mário Soares para São Tomé e Príncipe, assim como na campanha para libertar outro resistente à ditadura, o dirigente da LUAR Hermínio da Palma Inácio, quando este conseguiu fugir da prisão da PIDE no Porto e foi capturado em Espanha. “Estava absolutamente decidido em não fazer a guerra”  Como Vasco Martins, também Artur Monteiro de Oliveira saiu de Portugal determinado em não ir para a guerra colonial. Chegou a França em 1966, a salto, ou seja, clandestinamente, como tantos milhares de portugueses fizeram durante a ditadura. Entre 1957 e 1975 chegaram a França 900.000 portugueses, 550.000 dos quais o fazem ilegalmente e arriscando a vida, de acordo com dados publicados na obra “Refuser la Guerre Coloniale”.Estava absolutamente decidido em não fazer a guerra, portanto ao sair da cadeia, tinha 19 anos, tinha que ir para a tropa. Recebi uma ordem de apresentação no quartel-general e depois ia para Penamacor, que era para onde iam as pessoas que tinham saído de prisão. As pessoas que tinham questões políticas, e que passavam por Penamacor, iam directamente para a Guiné-Bissau.Artur foi obrigado a desistir dos estudos e começou a trabalhar aos 13 anos na firma Neolux, que produzia anúncios luminosos. Aos 15 anos começou a colaborar com o Partido Comunista Português e, a partir dos 17, iniciou actividade clandestina mais séria. A certa altura, pedem-lhe que acolha uma funcionária do partido em casa da mãe, que alugava quartos. Ainda que tenha abrandado o trabalho partidário para não levantar suspeitas, acabou por ser preso pela PIDE em Outubro de 1965. Tinha 19 anos e ficou na prisão da polícia política no Porto até Fevereiro de 1966.A tortura que tive foi o que se chamava, na altura, a estátua. Quer dizer, durante sete dias não pude dormir. Era uma tortura muito banal, frequente. Houve uma altura que apanhei assim uns abanões. Há pessoas que foram muito torturadas. Conheci pessoas que foram torturadas, o que não foi, portanto, o meu caso, a não ser a estátua, que foram sete dias e seis noites, de pé na cela, com um polícia que se revezava porque eu não podia estar sozinho, não me deixavam sentar, não me deixavam encostar à parede.Quando saiu da prisão, Artur decide, então, “dar o salto” e aventura-se, meses depois, rumo ao exílio. Iniciou a viagem para França na noite de São João em 1966 e chegou a Paris no início de Julho. Graças a alguns contactos, foi parar ao Quartier Latin e começou a trabalhar na fábrica da Renault. Inscreve-se na CGT e vive a sua primeira revolução: o Maio de 68. Foi escrevendo para jornais a alertar para a situação portuguesa e integrou a Liga Portuguesa do Ensino e da Cultura Popular.Criada em 1965, a Liga organizava conferências sobre Portugal, fundou uma companhia de teatro e publicou o Jornal do Emigrante. Nos anos seguintes, vários movimentos dirigem-se aos trabalhadores emigrantes através de jornais como O Salto, Fronteira, A Voz do Imigrado; através de companhias de teatro, como O Teatro Português de Paris e o Teatro Operário Português; festas nas quais participam cantores exilados como Luís Cília, José Mário Branco, Sérgio Godinho e Tino Flores. Em Maio e Junho de 68, a casa dos estudantes portugueses na Cidade Universitária de Paris foi ocupada e tornou-se um espaço de discussões e debates.A partir de Paris, Artur Monteiro de Oliveira também arregaçou mangas para denunciar o que se passava em Portugal e para ajudar os que tinham fugido da ditadura. Fê-lo através de artigos em jornais, de acção social, do teatro e do apoio ao movimento dos desertores e refractários. Escreveu, muitas vezes com pseudónimos, para O Trabalhador e o Jornal do Emigrante, difundidos junto da emigração, para O Comércio do Funchal, que descreve como “um jornal de resistência”, e para o República. Porém, aquilo que considerava a sua “actividade principal” era a “acção social junto da emigração”.O facto de ter uma actividade social junto da emigração era, para mim, uma forma de entrar em contacto com a emigração, distribuir os jornais que nós fazíamos aos portugueses, dar informações sobre o que se passava em Portugal, informações que em Portugal não saíam e  que, por vezes, eram traduzidas dos jornais franceses.Ainda que Artur diga que a sua “contribuição foi muito modesta”, a PIDE não pensava da mesma forma. Na fronteira portuguesa, havia um caderno com fotografias de indivíduos considerados “perigosos” e ele fazia parte. Por isso, não podia regressar a Portugal.Paris foi um abrigo para muitos exilados portugueses e inscreveu-se no mapa das lutas políticas contra a ditadura e a guerra colonial. Alguns nomes fizeram história em Portugal, outros ficaram anónimos e preferiram continuar a viver em França e a abraçar novas lutas até hoje. Vasco Martins e Artur Monteiro de Oliveira continuam no mundo associativo. O primeiro dirige a Associação Memória Viva que faz actividades para a recolha e transmissão da memória da emigração portuguesa em França e o segundo está na associação Seuil que acompanha jovens em contexto social e educativo difícil e na associação Anticor de luta contra a corrupção.

Os preços das casas em Portugal, entre julho e setembro do ano passado, subiram 10% face ao ano anterior. Apesar disso e ao contrário do que tem sido habitual, Lisboa e Funchal viram os preços desacelerar. Uma das soluções possíveis para esta crise na habitação é a construção de mais casas, mas a grande maioria ainda não avançouSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A construção de um projecto imobiliário na praia Formosa, numa zona defronte do mar em que o Plano Director Municipal do Funchal não permitia edificações, é um dos vários negócios que levantam suspeitas aos investigadores. Miguel Albuquerque, chefe do governo madeirense, apresentou sua demissão. Cresce a discussão sobre a influência da Justiça na política portuguesa.

Nasceu no Funchal (ilha da Madeira) e sempre soube que "o mundo estava lá fora". Com apenas 23 anos rumou a Lisboa para perseguir o seu sonho - a moda! Lançou a marca "Fátima Lopes" em 1992 e cerca de quatro anos mais tarde abriu a sua primeira loja em território internacional, na cidade da luz - Paris. Em 1999 torna-se no primeiro português a integrar a Paris Fashion Week e, desde então, conta com 43 desfiles consecutivos na capital da moda. Fátima Lopes tem uma carreira com mais de 30 anos, ao longo dos quais desenhou coleções de calçado, jóias, canetas, azulejos, tapeçaria e chegou mesmo a criar o seu próprio perfume - Be Mine. Vestiu a seleção nacional durante sete anos e entrou para o Guinness ao desenhar e desfilar com o biquíni mais caro da história. Avaliado em cerca de um milhão de dólares, era feito de ouro e diamantes! Adora arriscar, não tem medo das críticas e o sonho é a base de tudo o que faz. Prepara-te para uma conversa verdadeiramente inspiradora e desfruta com a certeza de que também #podacontecer contigo!

Um raide de inspectores e procuradores decapitou o regime da Madeira com direito a excursão de jornalistas do continente ao Funchal.

O presidente da Câmara do Funchal foi detido e o presidente do Governo Regional da Madeira é suspeito da prática de vários crimes. São as duas principais figuras do PSD no arquipélago e têm os dois ligações políticas a Luís Montenegro. Miguel Albuquerque é o presidente da Mesa do Congresso do partido e Pedro Calado foi o número um da lista de Montenegro ao conselho Nacional em 2021. A apresentação do cenário macroeconómico da AD, em Lisboa, tinha tudo para ser um sucesso, mas acabou relegado para segundo plano, perante um caso de justiça que volta a implicar com a agenda política.

The opening segment of this Sweeper episode is all about our first trip of 2024 - to the Portuguese island of Madeira, where we took in the derby between local teams Marítimo and Nacional. We also delve a little bit deeper into the unique football culture on the island with the help of some supporters and try to answer the big question that has been on our minds since the end of last season in Portugal's Primeira Liga: why are there no island clubs in the top flight for the first time since 1984/85? Part 2 is all about the wonderful world of AFCON. First up, Cape Verde's miraculous start to the tournament comes under the microscope and we speak to defender Roberto Lopes, who was recruited to play for the nation via LinkedIn. There are other unlikely recruits at AFCON for Tanzania, who have five non-league UK players whose stories we explore. We also chat about Tanzania's mid-tournament coach sacking and the near-disaster that took place on the Gambia's flight to the host nation. Finally, in Part 3, the conversation turns to Ivan Perisic's €1-a-month contract at his boyhood club Hajduk Split and other bizarre football contract clauses. We then look at the trials and tribulations of Charlie Pomroy, the British coach of Cambodian crisis club Angkor City FC who had a weekend to forget. The pod is then rounded off with a look at the world's most southerly game of football between HMS Protector and research staff at Rothera in Antarctica.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 29 Oktober 2023 Bacaan: "Kita tahu sekarang, bahwa Allah turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi mereka yang mengasihi Dia, yaitu bagi mereka yang terpanggil sesuai dengan rencana Allah." (Roma 8:28) Renungan: Christiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, lahir di daerah miskin ibu kota Madeira, Funchal, Portugal, pada tanggal 5 Februari 1985. la anak bungsu dari pasangan Jose Dinis Aveiro, yang bekerja sebagai tukang kebun di balai kota dan Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, yang bekerja sebagai tukang masak. Ayahnya juga bekerja sampingan sebagai asisten perlengkapan di klub sepak bola lokal, Andonrinha. Tempat tinggal Ronaldo ialah sebuah rumah kecil yang menampung enam orang anggota keluarga. Ronaldo pun menuturkan bahwa kehidupan masa kecilnya sungguh memprihatinkan, "Saya berbagi satu tempat tidur dengan saudara saya, saya tidak memiliki cukup uang untuk membeli mainan seperti yang dimiliki oleh sahabat seusia saya. Dahulu saya berjalan kaki menuju ke sekolah. Saya tidak boleh ikut belajar karena sering bolos dengan alasan tidak punya biaya dan tidak memiliki apa pun. Saya bermain sepak bola dengan tujuan menghapus derita dan melenyapkan amarah." Minat Ronaldo terhadap sepak bola begitu tinggi dan sepak bolalah yang mengubah nasibnya. Di usia tujuh tahun, ayahnya mengajak Ronaldo bermain dan bergabung di klub tempat ayahnya bekerja. Mandiri dan disiplin terbentuk karena kehidupan yang pahit. Bahkan, di usia 16 tahun, ia harus membantu membiayai pengobatan kakaknya yang kecanduan narkoba. Ronaldo pun tumbuh sebagai penggila bola, hari-harinya dihabiskan dengan sekolah dan bermain bola. Ia terus meniti kariernya sehingga menjadi pesepak bola terkaya tahun 2015. Ayahnya yang meninggal di usia 52 tahun karena alkohol, membuat Ronaldo menjauhi alkohol dan rokok. Bahkan ia tidak memiliki tato di tubuhnya sebagaimana sering kali dimiliki pesepak bola ternama lainnya. Alasannya agar ia selalu dapat mendonorkan darah kepada orang yang membutuhkan. Ia juga sering melakukan donasi membantu kemanusiaan. Kepribadian seseorang terbentuk juga karena peristiwa masa lalu, entah ke arah yang buruk atau ke arah yang baik, seperti halnya Ronaldo. Tetapi ingatlah, Tuhan ingin agar kita menjadi pribadi yang berkualitas, bukan sebaliknya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa: Tuhan Yesus, berikanlah aku kemampuan untuk mengerti rencana-Mu melalui setiap peristiwa yang terjadi, yang tidak sesuai dengan harapanku dan buatlah aku selalu tinggal di dalam-Mu dalam setiap peristiwa baik ataupun buruk. Amin. (Dod).

Lina Bolzoni"Il papavero e il monaco" di José Tolentino MendonçaEdizioni Qiqajonhttps://www.qiqajon.it/Traduzione di Teresa BartolomeiPrefazione di Lina BolzoniFrutto di un viaggio in Giappone, il volume raccoglie le impressioni, le immagini, i ricordi di quell'esperienza scegliendo la forma poetica, come una sorta di “haiku occidentali”. Nella loro brevità questi poemi possono stimolare nel lettore un lento e penetrante pensiero, a partire dall'essenziale che l'autore sceglie di trasmettere.“È un libro fascinoso e perturbante. Ci porta lontano, tra i giunchi e i crisantemi del Giappone e insieme scava nella nostra interiorità, ci provoca con le sue domande, con i suoi rovesciamenti di prospettiva, ci incanta con la magia del verso, con la danza turbinosa dei punti di vista” (dalla Prefazione di Lina Bolzoni).José Tolentino de Mendonça (Funchal, Portogallo, 1965), presbitero, poeta affermato, specialista in studi biblici e docente, è stato responsabile nazionale per la pastorale della cultura, e dal 2011 al 2022 è stato consultore del Pontificio consiglio per la cultura. Ricevuta nel 2018 l'ordinazione episcopale, è stato creato cardinale da papa Francesco nel 2019, nominato nel 2018 archivista e bibliotecario di Santa romana chiesa, e nel 2022 Prefetto del Dicastero per la cultura e l'educazione.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers that have ever kicked a ball, and in spite of how physically supreme he might seem, he didn't attain greatness all on his own. When Cristiano was only a boy, he used to play football with his friends on the streets of Funchal, a city in Madeira, Portugal. All of them had the same dream; to be picked up by scouts and taken to an academy, and from there, work towards going pro. Fantrau and Ronaldo were closer than most of the other kids. They were both forwards and were the best goalscorers among the boys.

Ever fantasize about living on an Island in the middle of an ocean? At some point you probably talked yourself out of it, believing that it would be too isolated, too expensive and too hot. According to Bill Strickland and Sam Palmer, the Portuguese island of Madeira, off the African coast, is none of those. Bill and Sam retired to the city of Funchal on Madeira in 2021 without ever having stepped foot on the island. The couple described Funchal as having the feel of an old European city, even though it is on an island and surrounded by beautiful mountainous land. It is no surprise that this archipelago has been called the Hawaii of Europe. Find out more about how Bill and Sam found their paradise, on Episode 89 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.

Become a Patreon supporter at www.themidnighttrainpodcast.com   This week we're taking the train across the pond for another creepy adventure. That's right, we are doing one of our creepy episodes! It's been a while so we figured it was time. This week we are headed to what some people say is one of the top scariest countries in the world! Not only that…we know we have some awesome listeners here. This week we are headed to creepy Portugal! We are gonna try our best to find the coolest, creepiest places for you guys. I'm just going to assume there's going to be a bridge in here someplace.  So without further Ado.. Let's fucking rock and roll!!!   So first up we're gonna do a little history lesson. Will keep it somewhat sorry and sweet since if we got into the complete history of a country of the age of Portugal, it would be an entire episode on its own. To get there history of this country we went to the source, portugal.com and an article written by Goncarlo Costa.    The history of Portugal starts many ages ago, when the so-called Iberian tribes inhabited the territory of today's Portugal. Then, in the beginning of the first millennium BC, Celtic tribes invaded and intermarried with the local Iberians, creating what is now known as the Celtiberians.   The Lusitanians, who inhabited the interior region of Portugal since the Iron Age, are considered the forefathers of the Portuguese nation. This is why today we have names like Lusophone, someone who speaks Portuguese, or Luso-American, a Portuguese American person. They were known for successfully fending off the Roman armies until the death of their leader, Viriathus, known as a hero in Portugal.   The tribe was considered a worthy adversary by the Romans, so much that they named the province of the whole territory of modern Portugal (south of the Douro River) and part of western Spain after them.   The Romans left various works, such as baths, temples, bridges, roads, theaters and statues; some of them are still found in different parts of the country.   This lasted until the Barbarian invasions, when Germanic tribes migrated to various parts of the Roman Empire. In Portugal, the territory became controlled by the Germanic in the 5th century. The Kingdom of the Suebi controlled Galicia and the North and Center of Portugal, while the Visigothic Kingdom controlled the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, including the rest of Portugal, until eventually conquering the Suebi and, consequently, the whole of Iberia. This is when the rigid class structure appeared in the country, with a Nobility and Clergy getting more and more political and social power.   In the 8th century, the Islamic Umayyad Caliphate invaded the Iberian Peninsula from the North of Africa. Al-Andalus, the Islamic name for the Peninsula, became a part of the Caliphate, and Portugal with it. The Portuguese kept lots of things from their Muslim past, like many of their words, architecture and the famous ‘azulejos'.   The Christians held on in the North of the Peninsula, creating the Kingdom of the Asturias. This was until the Reconquista, when they reconquered the lands from the Moors, the Muslims.   In this Kingdom, at the end of the 9th century, a county based in the now north of Portugal was established, the County of Portugal. The county grew in power and, at the end of the 11th century, a Burgundian knight named Henry, who was fighting in the Reconquista, was crowned as ‘Count of Portugal' and merged it with the County of Coimbra.   Henry's son, Afonso Henriques, proclaimed himself King of Portugal in 1139 with Guimarães as its capital. This city remains known until this day as the “Cradle of the Nation' by the Portuguese.   However, it was only in 1179 that a papal bull officially recognized Afonso I as king. The Reconquista continued with the Algarve, the south of the country, finally being conquered in 1249, and Lisbon becoming the capital in 1255. Since then, Portugal's land borders have remained almost unchanged, being considered one of the longest standing borders in Europe.   The Kingdom of Portugal remained very important in Europe's (and especially Iberian) politics, waging several wars against Spain, creating an alliance with England (the longest standing alliance in the world, lasting until today) and starting the “Age of Discovery”.   In this Age, the country built a vast empire, having territory all over the world, from South America to Oceania. They started by exploring their coast and adventuring into the Moroccan coast, hoping to continue the Reconquista to the North of Africa. Then, the Portuguese sailors started to adventure into the open sea, when they discovered the islands of the Canaries, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde. Subsequently, the Portuguese explored the coast of Africa, setting trading ports, and tried to discover the maritime route to India, which they did in 1498, under the explorer Vasco da Gama.   They continued to explore and look for trade around the world, from Africa, passing through Arabia, and reaching Japan, setting several outposts, many of them having developed into colonies later on. In 1500, they reached South America and started the colonization of Brazil.   The Empire started to decline, however, when the Dutch, English, and French got in the game. They started to surround or conquer the scattered Portuguese trading posts and territories, diminishing their power. On the Battle of Alcácer-Quibir, in 1578, Portugal lost its king, becoming part of a dynastic union with Spain that lasted until 1640, when it finally gained its independence again.   After that, the country never became the great power it once was. It lost several colonies (including its largest one, Brazil) and trade routes, it saw its capital being destroyed by an earthquake in 1755 and it was occupied during the Napoleonic Wars.   From then on, Portugal was a minor power in Europe, having just some colonies in Africa and Asia and never becoming an economic powerhouse.   Then, in 1910, due to corruption, dissatisfaction with the several Kings and the loss of claimed African lands to the English, the monarchy ended and a Republic was created. Fiercely secular, to the point where it was antichurch, filed with corruption, government instability and near to bankruptcy, the regime came to an end with a military coup in 1926.   A military dictatorship was installed and then, a fascist-like regime, the ‘Estado Novo' (‘New State'), headed by António de Oliveira Salazar. This period was marked by authoritarianism, lack of freedom and, from 1961, by the Portuguese Colonial War.   All of this ended when, in April 25th 1974, the Carnation Revolution happened, carried out by the Armed Forces Movement (Movimento das Forças Armadas – MFA), a movement of young left-leaning captains of the Portuguese Armed Forces. With the Revolution, democratic reforms were made and the first free elections with multiple parties happened, as well as the independence of all of Portugal's colonies.   It also started the PREC (Processo Revolucionário Em Curso – Ongoing Revolutionary Process), a period when conservative and left-leaning forces inside the MFA confronted each other, marked by political turmoil, violence, instability, and the nationalization and expropriation of private lands. It came to an end on the 25 November 1975, when the MFA moderates appeared as the main force.   Nevertheless, revolutionary achievements were not forgotten, with the Constitution pledging until this day to realize socialism, as well as declaring extensive nationalizations and land seizures as irreversible, many, however, now overturned.   Nowadays, Portugal is one of 15 most sustainable states in the world and considered the third most peaceful. It has high living standards and a good economy. It was a founding member of NATO, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries. It entered the European Economic Community (now the European Union) in 1986 and is one of its fiercest supporters, even having produced a European Commission President.   Ok so that's a brief…incredibly brief mini history of Portugal. Really the take aways are…super old, plenty of things happened to make the place creepy over that many years. So let's see what creepy stuff Portugal has to offer!   What better way to start than with a sanatorium! Valongo Sanatorium to be exact. The construction of the Mont'Alto Sanatorium began in 1932. Due to the appearance of a large number of people who had contracted tuberculosis, there was a need to expand the facilities, and these expansion works were completed in 1958. construction of these hospital units were carried out in high altitude places, due to the purity of the air, and also because they were away from the populations to avoid the effects of contagion. The sanatorium only operated for a short period, having been inaugurated in 1958 and closed in 1975, after which it entered a profound state of disrepair. Due to its dimensions, it is considered one of the most imposing buildings of its type in Portugal.Its building is large, with an area of ​​approximately 88,000 m², having been built with a view to housing about 300 patients. The building was designed by the architect José Júlio de Brito , who was also responsible for other prominent structures in the city of Porto, such as the Coliseu or Teatro Rivoli . The sanatorium complex, which occupied nine hectares, also included a school, a laundry room, a water reservoir, and a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Sick.    The installation of the Sanatorium in Valongo was part of a phase in the history of health in Portugal, during which the government undertook the construction of several specialized establishments to combat tuberculosis, a disease that was ravaging the country at the time. This period began in 1899, with the foundation of the National Institute of Assistance to Tuberculosis, which began the construction of several sanatoriums in different parts of the national territory. In 1930, efforts against tuberculosis were renewed in the north of the country, with the creation of the Assistance to Tuberculosis of Northern Portugal by António Elísio Lopes Rodrigues, and at that time, planning began to build a sanatorium that would house the sick in that region, who had lower economic resources.  Serra de Santa Justa was chosen, where the air was healthier, in addition to being isolated from urban centers, in order to reduce the risk of contagion.   Shortly after, the Sá family donated a plot of land in Serra de Santa Justa, allowing the construction of the building, whose works began in 1932.  However, the works were suspended due to lack of funding, having been resumed due to the support of the local populations.  On July 5, 1940, ATNP began building the Casa de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, to support the children of the sanatorium's patients. According to the Diário Popular of 3 January 1956, the finishing works and equipping of the sanatorium were already under way, and it was expected to be completed during the following year, and that it would have a capacity for 350 beds.  However, the works were only completed in 1958.  Another reason for the delay in the work may have been the opposition by the Companhia das Minas de São Pedro da Cova to the construction of the building, because it was being installed inside an area destined for coal mining, a few kilometers away from the mines.  However, at the time of the sanatorium's inauguration, mining was already entering its final phase, ending up closing in 1970.  Some of the users of the hospital were the mine workers themselves, who suffered from occupational diseases such as tuberculosis and silicosis . The Sanatorium of Monte Alto was inaugurated on 1 November 1958,  being the last one to be opened in Portugal. The inauguration ceremony included a religious service at the Chapel of Nossa Senhora dos Enfermos, the unveiling of a commemorative tombstone, a tribute to the League of Combatants of theFirst World War, and concluded with a port of honor offered by the board of directors. of the sanatorium.  During the ceremony, the admission and accommodation process of the first clients, all veterans of the First World War, was also carried out. Although it was planned for three hundred patients,  its initial capacity was only fifty beds, and during its operation it accommodated 350 people.    In the early 1970s, there began to be greater control over the tuberculosis disease, which began to be fought in a different way, through the outpatient system.  In this way, the sanatoriums ceased to be useful, and were progressively abandoned or underwent a process of readaptation for other purposes.  In the case of the Montalto Sanatorium, the closure process began in 1972,  due to the low number of tuberculosis patients in the Porto District.  At that time, the building already had only a few patients, having been thought of its adaptation as a psychiatric hospital or for the returnees from overseas, which did not advance.  Due to the process of closing the Sanatorium, Casa Nossa Senhora da Conceição ceased to function as a boarding school, starting to support only external students. The building was abandoned after the April 25 Revolution , when the last employee left, although it was only officially closed in 1975.  Following its closure, it was completely looted, being a of the main reasons its connection to the Estado Novo, as it was mostly built and used during that regime.  This connection to the Estado Novo also had a negative impact on the collection of funds, making it impossible to carry out works on the building. It was also used as a training ground by firefighters and civil protection, who performed drills there and destroyed some walls.  Later, the sanatorium was used for paintball games and photo shoots, and various ceremonies related to the supernatural, such as rituals, were also performed there. The building was also hit by several fires, accentuating its degradation. History is awesome and fun and you know we love it but…. The reason we're here is for creepiness! There are stories abound of how haunted this place is. Given the numerous people who died there it makes sense to us! So what kind of stuff are we talking about here ? Well, let's look.    Well paranormal investigators have been spending time here for years, when there's no paintball matches going on, to try and find crazy shit! There have been numerous reports of strange noises and things moving around. There have been entities seen and apparitions spotted. It's hard to find much in English so finding pages from Portuguese websites and trying to find studies was tough but we managed to find one study where a group of friends were exploring the abandoned hospital and had some interesting things happen. They talked about how they started hearing strange noises while they were exploring. The noises seemed to be following them around the building. They talked about how they had a heavy feeling around them as they explored. The sounds seemed to keep getting closer to them. They claim that things started getting knocked over and moved on their own. At one point, one of the group claimed they saw a shadowy figure seemingly watching them. At that point they all decided it was time to go! Sounds like a pretty crazy experience!  True or not? We like to think so!   Can't go and episode without fucking tuberculosis… Teatro Lethes:   The building that today is called Teatro Lethes, began as a Jesuit College – Colégio de Santiago Maior, founded by the then Bishop of the Algarve, D. Fernando Martins Mascarenhas -, whose license was granted to them on 8 February 1599. of learning, above all of a religious nature – the “first university in the Algarve”, as someone has called it. In 1759, the Society of Jesus was banned from the country and its goods were confiscated. The College of Santiago Maior closed its doors. With the occupation of Napoleonic troops commanded by General Junot, the premises of the former College were raided and desecrated in order to enlist the soldiers there. Years later, in 1843, the College was auctioned off by Dr. Lazaro Doglioni, who had publicly expressed his intention to build a theater in Faro similar to S.   The Latin inscription on the facade of the building, monet oblectando , can be translated as “instructing, playing”, thus emphasizing the cultural concerns of the promoter of the construction of this concert hall.   The inauguration of Teatro Lethes took place on 4 April 1845, as part of the celebrations for the birthday of Queen Maria II. Later, in 1860, it was expanded by Dr. Justino Cumano, nephew of Lázaro Doglioni. On September 11, 1898, the so-called animatograph was exhibited for the first time in Faro., installed in the Lethes Theater as it is the largest and most distinguished cultural space in the city. It was restored between 1906 and 1908 to improve acoustics and comfort. The decline of the shows and, consequently, of the hall, begins in 1920, with the Theater closing in 1925, having sold the property to the Portuguese Red Cross, in whose possession it still remains. The Lethes Theater room was later ceded, by protocol, to the Algarve Regional Delegation of the Ministry of Culture. In the North wing, restored and adapted in 1991, the regional services of the Ministry of Culture operated. On October 5, 2012, by protocol between the Municipality of Faro and the Portuguese Red Cross, Teatro Lethes recovered its initial design. The Algarve Theater Company – ACTA was installed as a resident structure. ACTA, in addition to presenting shows of its own creation, also promotes hospitality at the Lethes Theater, and is also responsible for managing the equipment. this history was taken directly from the theatre website!   There are a couple stories about this place that prettier day lead to its hauntings. The first is the story of a ballerina who was in love but was not loved back. She was so distraught that she hung herself in the middle of the stage. Some versions say that she was driven to the brink by the demands of theater life. The second is that of a soldier's body that was found inside one of the walls. There isn't as much info on that story as the ballerina. Staff and visitors claim you can hear the ballerinas footsteps in the theater to this day. There are also reports of a shadowy figure moving about as well. Could this be the ballerina still performing for the people? Or the soldier patrolling the theater? Who knows but it sounds like a cool place to visit!! The Castelinho of Sao Joao, Estoril   The area between Estoril and Cascais, out on Lisbon's Atlantic coast, is rife with buildings of character. Many of them are designed to give the impression of miniature castles, indeed some of them were fortified because they were built during times of instability within the Iberian peninsula.   In the 1980s, a wealthy socialite, José Castelo Branco, was looking for just such a property and found one that seemed ideal in Sao Joao, a district on the edge of Estoril. The day he went to view the property was a beautiful sunny one and so he decided to walk along the cliff path which adjoined the property. As he was walking back to the building, he saw a young girl. She didn't speak, but simply stared at him. In his own account of the events of that day, Mr Castelo Branco said that he felt a compulsion to jump from the edge. This feeling was, he believed, coming from the young girl. He immediately elected to leave the property and ruled out buying it.   On hearing what had happened, someone from the local town hall did some research into the building and discovered that a young blind girl had fallen from the cliffs to her death in the eighteenth century and that several people had reported seeing her at the castelinho since, each claiming that they felt a strong will to jump while she looked at them.   Let's check out a cemetery now…cus those are always fun!    This one is called the cemetery of pleasures. After the city of Lisbon was hit by an outbreak of cholera in 1833, causing thousands of deaths,  it was urgent to create a large cemetery for both rich and poorer victims. It has the weird name of  Cemetery of ‘Pleasures', called after the nearby neighborhood (Prazeres) with the same name. Many of its tombs are big mausoleums, some with the size of small chapels.    Most of the Prazeres mausoleums belong to rich, old or ‘important' families, like  the Palmela family. Many of the mausoleums are richly elaborate, have fine sculptures and decorations. There are also statues of the deceased. It's like a ‘city in a city' for the dead, with well-defined lanes (70! ) and funerary chapels that were built to look like little houses.   The unusual thing about a lot of these graves is that they have little “front doors” with glass windows through which you can see the caskets and remnants of the dead and their visitors. Most of the trees are a species of cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), much used in Portuguese cemeteries.   The cemetery is one of the largest in Lisbon.    The Autopsy Room , which was in the chapel until the Morgues were created in 1899, is one of the curiosities that can be seen, as well as the Sala do Acervo , where some of the oldest funeral records can be consulted. This is another way of helping the visitor to interpret the different ways that human beings have had to culturally, socially and psychologically approach Death, throughout different times.   As with the many famous families and celebrities, another thing that adds to some people thinking there's more going on at this place is the presence of many freemason symbols and you know how that gets people talking!    At any rate, being a cemetery you can imagine the tales of hauntings surrounding this place! Everything from apparitions being seen wandering the grounds, to Disembodied voices. People have seen orbs in person and in pictures. I mean being able to see into these little houses and see the caskets and remains is creepy enough…add haunting to that…and it's definitely a place we want to go!   Next up, Quinta Das Conchas   The Quinta das Conchas (or the garden of shells) in Lisbon is best known for its expansive parkland, just to the north of the city centre. Families can be found playing here during the warmer months and countless dog walkers can be seen at any time of the year. The house at the heart of the estate though has a darker past which is lesser known. In the early part of the twentieth century, when Portugal was still a colonial power, the owner of the estate was a wealthy man called Francisco Mantero Belard. Like many of his countrymen, he was accustomed to having servants who took care of the running of his home. So, when he moved into the quinta, he acquired the services of a slave from Sao Tomé and Principe. There was nothing unusual about this at the time, other than that he elected to keep this slave woman in a small cage. She was made to live like an animal and, according to local myth, subjected to a variety of cruel treatment for several years. People working in the manor house in modern times have reported hearing wailing coming from empty rooms, as well as dramatic changes in temperature.   Let's switch it up and talk a little about Portuguese folklore! We're gonna talk about the coco or coca. There are also many other names for this guy or gal including Cucuy, Cuco, Cuca, Cucu or Cucuí. It is a mythical ghost-monster, equivalent to the bogeyman, found in many Hispanophone and Lusophone countries. It can also be considered an Iberian version of a bugbear as it is a commonly used figure of speech representing an irrational or exaggerated fear. A bugbear is described as  a legendary creature or type of hobgoblin comparable to the boogeyman and other creatures of folklore, all of which were historically used in some cultures to frighten disobedient children. The Cucuy is a male being while Cuca is a female version of the mythical monster. In Spain, Portugal, and Latin America, parents sometimes invoke the Coco or Cuca as a way of discouraging their children from misbehaving; they sing lullabies or tell rhymes warning their children that if they don't obey their parents, el Coco will come and get them and then eat them.    Continuing with the mystery surrounding this child scarer, the Coco also does not take on a specific physical form. For the Portuguese it is a dragon that is represented every year in the celebration of Corpus Christi…at least that is what I've source says.. another says: "In Portuguese côco, refers to a ghost with a pumpkin head. The male form is known as Coco, and the female form as Coca. It is said it's hard to tell the difference between the two. It seems that parents are to blame for the invocation of the Coco as a way of punishment for their wayward children. They would sing rhymes warning their children if they did not obey their parents the Coco would come and eat them.".... So a pumpkin headed goblin… Although the Coco was ghostly monster like in appearance, that wasn't the most frightening thing about them. Children would be scared out of their wits at the idea of a monster that could eat them and not leave a trace. So imagine being a child forced to sleep with a lullaby of a monster that was coming to devour them.    Duermete niño, duermete ya…que viene el cuco y te comerá (sleep child, sleep now…or else comes the coco to eat you).   Creepy, so this folk tale seems to have many different versions depending on where you look. We think that due to the fact that many Latin American countries also use this in folklore as well as there being a certain in Brazil, it's hard to actually put the facts together. Every place we looked about this tale had a little bit of a different take, hopefully we got it close as we mean no disrespect to the tales!   You know what else Portugal has…aliens, at least a few. He's a couple stories!    On September 4, 1957, four Portugal Air Force pilots claimed to have seen and chased some UFOs. They took off with their bomber aircraft from the Ota Air Base in Portugal under Captain José Lemos Ferreira leadership (the others pilots were sergeants Alberto Gomes Covas, Salvador Alberto Oliveira e Manuel Neves Marcelino). When they were heading towards the city of Portalegre, Captain Ferreira noticed a light above the horizon and warned the others. The light changed its own sizes a couple of times, first increasing, then shrinking. After several minutes the pilots noticed a small yellow circle getting out of the craft, and 3 more circles appeared later. When the UFOs were near Coruche, the bigger aircraft climbed out of the Earth as the smaller ones disappeared. The bombers landed without any problems and Captain Ferreira declared: "after this, do not come to us with that Venus, weather balloons, aircraft and similar stuff which have been being used as general explanations for almost every case of UFOs".   On September 10, 1990, around 9:30AM and for about 50 minutes, a small "balloon" was seen hovering towards a small football field, on a small village called Alfena in the outskirts of Porto. The object was described as "a small turtle with long legs" with a metallic shine. The people present got scared and a group of construction workers started throwing stones at it, and the object hovered backed away, leaving the site. An amateur photographer took several pictures of the shapeshifting object; the pictures were considered by several experts as real and the witness accounts by the simple folks were not considered hoax.    We also found this first hand account.. "My name is Cristina Marto de Pimental. I am a reporter. On New Year's Eve, December 31, 1997, my husband and I were at a seaside party in Funchal, which is on the South shore of Madeira Island, in the Atlantic Ocean, 912 kilometres East of Morocco. We were watching the New Year's festivities, all the fireworks in the sky. Then several people at the party called my attention to a red and motionless light above Funchal. The OVNI suddenly made a very tight circle, returned to its initial position, and, a few seconds later, it accelerated at great speed in a vertical direction. We were all quite amazed at the sight. A British couple at the festival videotaped the UFO as it hovered. The next day I telephoned the Fuerzas Aereas Portugeses (FAP) headquarters in Lisboa. The Portuguese air force told me that they'd had no flights, neither planes nor helicopters, and no satellites were over Madeira at that time."   Whoooooo aliens!!!   Time for some quick hitters, you beautiful bastards!   Quinta da Paulicea, Agueda:   Not far from the city center of Águeda, Quinta da Paulicea sits in the middle of large unkept plot of land surrounded by a wrought iron fence. It is the classic image of what a Hollywood haunted house should look like. It was inhabited by an Águedense family, who had moved to Brazil in the late 1800s, but returned in the early 1900s, naming the home after the city of São Paulo. Much of the family succumbed to the influenza pandemic in 1918, with the exception of Neca Carneiro. He was a patron of the community's sports and cultural programs but died childless at the young age of 37. The home has sat vacant ever since, due to legal constraints with the family back in Brazil. Although not certified as haunted, there are many reports of supernatural encounters at Quinta da Paulicea. Some have heard the neighing of horses where the stables once stood. Others have been frightened by the sound of a shotgun blast or a gentle pulling on hair. A worker in the garden suddenly experienced such an intense headache that he fled and never returned. Whether haunted or not, this beautiful home has many stories to tell.   Mines of São Pedro de Cova – Gondomar:   The village of São Pedro da Cova was largely an agricultural community until the discovery of coal in the 1802. The exhausting and dangerous industry of mining soon took over. Several generations of miners worked here until low oil prices forced the mines to shut down in the 1970's. All that's left of the mines are these ruins. Neighbors say spirits of the miners protect the ruins and the mine shafts. Others claim to hear screaming from the deep holes.   Termas de Água Radium, Sortelha:    Legend has it that this beautiful structure, in the Guarda District, was built by Spanish Count Don Rodrigo after learning that the natural “healing waters” might cure his daughter's skin disease. News of the waters quickly spread. In the 1920s, the site became a restorative spa known as the Hotel Serra da Pena. In actuality, the waters were radioactive, seeping from a uranium mine not far away. Radioactivity was all the rage in the 20's and 30's, so the site bottled the spring water and sold it under the name “Radium Water.” Of course, after radioactivity was studied further in the 40's, it became apparent that the healing qualities of radium water actually carried the opposite effect. The hotel went out of business in the 50's and has been abandoned ever since. It is said the site is haunted by the many people who drank from the contaminated spring.   Sanatório da Serra da Estrela – near Covilhã:   This massive structure was built in 1936 by Portugal's railway department as a treatment facility for its employees suffering from Tuberculosis. The building was later leased to the Portuguese Society of Sanatoriums on condition of receiving all patients needing treatment.  However it was closed in the 1980's and left to deteriorate for decades to come.  Rumors circulate that it is haunted by its many former patients.  The Sanatório has now been refurbished and transformed into the luxurious new Pousada Serra da Estrella.   Quinta da Juncosa – Penafiel, Rios de Monihos:    This old farmhouse was home to the Baron of Lages and his family.  The Baron was very jealous, and suspected his wife of infidelities.  Legends have it, the Baron tied his wife to a horse and dragged her around the farm until she died.  After discovering his wife was innocent, the Baron killed his children and committed suicide.  They say the Baron's guilt keeps him from resting in peace.  Ghosts of the Baron and his wife are said to be seen around the property.   So we did this episode in honor of our Portuguese listeners who have keep us in the top 10 in Portugal for quite some time. We thank you guys so much for that. But we have one request for you…in every creepy episodes so far until this one…we've found a haunted bridge, Texas had like 50. In all of my searching the recesses of the Internet, I could not find a single reference to a haunted bridge in Portugal, we need our Portuguese listeners to hit us up and let us know any stories about haunted bridges. It was tough to find a ton of information on a lot of these places so hopefully we did them right! If we made any mistakes or got anything wrong, you know what we say…blame the Internet!!
