Because there is crime in Portugal (it's not a paradise...), I'll place some ocasional news about the subject here. Seven people were convicted to prison (7Y9M to 16 years) for a total of 36 robberies. They robbed houses, with old folks inside, and businesses, perpetrated in the districts of Coimbra and Aveiro in early 2022.https://www.jn.pt/3644566357/sete-dos-15-arguidos-do-caso-teia-dourada-condenados-a-prisao/

The gastronomic week "À Mesa com os Romanos" (At the table with the Romans) runs from July 12 to 21 and aims to promote and valorize the archaeological heritage of the Roman era. 26 restaurants, in 6 municipalities of the Lisbon region, will take part of this and will present recipes involving ingredients used by the romans.https://expresso.pt/boa-cama-boa-mesa/2024-07-11-durante-uma-semana-a-regiao-de-lisboa-vai-comer-a-mesa-com-os-romanos-95f880a0

This month is celebrated the 500th anniversary of the birth of the most famous portuguese poet, Luís Vaz de Camões. For that reason, the Lisbon Metro signed a partnership with Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (Portugal's National Library), so Metro travellers can have easy access to his poetry. Lisbon Metro placed posters with QR codes that allow you to listen to excerpts from Camões' most emblematic poems, performed by actor André Gago. This initiative invites customers to rediscover the richness of Camões' work during their daily journeys. https://24.sapo.pt/vida/artigos/poesia-de-luis-de-camoes-tambem-vai-andar-no-metro-de-lisboa
