Silver Coast Stories

Some quick Stories from Portugal and the Silver Coast .

The bridge near Nazaré has been completed, in time for a busy summer. This will not only give travellers better access from Sao Martinho to Nazare, Alcobaça and Fatima but will also lessen the heavy summer traffic in Nazare itself.

In football: Coach of Europa league finalists Braga, Domingo Pacienca, has finally joined Sporting Lisbon after months of speculation as the Portuguese giants look to end years of under-achievement. In addition, Benfica have slapped a heavy price tag on left back Fabio Coentrao as interest from Europe’s biggest clubs mount. If Chelsea, Man City or Real Madrid wish to purchase the gifted youngster they will have to pay no less than €26 Million.

The annual ‘Bombeiros’ parade will take place this Sunday 29th May in commemoration of all the hard work done by the Fire Fighters and Emergency services in the Silver Coast region. The parade will take place in Sao Martinho do Porto as fire and emergency services from here, Nazare and Obidos will also be represented.

And finally a little bit of publicity, on the same day as the parade, Prestige Portugal will be holding an open house at our latest bargain apartment listing.
