         <title>Postcard from Lisbon on the BBC</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br />
In a glowing article about Lisbon for BBC Travel "Marina <br />
O´Loughlin" writes, "I can't believe it's taken me so long to <br />
get around to this enchanting city. But I'm so, so coming back."</p>

<p>The 2nd December article was published in partnership with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_Magazine" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Olive <br />
magazine</a>, which is part of the BBC Good Food stable. So of <br />
course much of the first part concentrates on restaurants and <br />
describes the "stunning" variety of food and eating experiences.</p>

<p>In the district of Saldanha she discovers the Café Versailles <br />
which she described as "the most beautiful Art Nouveau café" she <br />
had ever seen - "eat your heart out" Paris. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The economic crisis and the suspension of credit by the banks <br />
has forced the <a href="http://rainha.com/property/golf/camporeal_1/">CampoReal</a> luxury golf resort in Torres Vedras to <br />

         <title>Surfers and Surfing on the Silver Coast</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Atlantic coast of Portugal is world renowned for it's <br />
quality of surf. The World Surf Tour comes to Peniche on the <br />
Silver Coast every year and Surfer Mag acknowledged Supertubes <br />
(supertubos) and the Baleal beaches as being among the best <br />
surfing spots in the world. Below is a very long video of two <br />
Welsh Lads enjoying a full day of surf at one of the many surf <br />
spot beaches at Peniche.</p>

         <title>Hang Gliding, Paragliding &amp; Microlights on the Silver Coast</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Extreme sports like Hang Gliding and Paragliding are popular on <br />
the Silver Coast and pilots are frequently seen using thermals <br />
to launch themselves from cliffs and then soaring above the <br />
almost empty expanses of beach in various places from the Obidos <br />
Lagoon to Nazare and beyond. This sequence below shows <br />
Paragliding and "soaring" over the beach at Pedra do Ouro.</p>

<p>As well as Hang Gliding and Paragliding at the beach of Bom <br />

Arelho located at the inland end of the Obidos Lagoon and I've <br />
also included two videos of those....</p>]]></description>

         <title>Silver Coast - Atlantico Village, Pedra do Ouro</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>From: Tracey Brookman <br />
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 08:38:43 +0100</strong></p>

<p>Hi David</p>

<p>We bought two properties off plan at Atlântico Village, <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=39.727785,-9.045868&ll=39.727785,-9.045868&spn=0.137832,0.220757&sll=39.727785,-9.045868&sspn=0.137832,0.220757&z=12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pedra do <br />
Ouro</a> in 2006 which are now complete. The intention was to sell<br />
one of them but clearly the market is not ideal for doing that.  </p>

<p>I wondered what your view is of the property market. We're now <br />
going to rent that one out and 'forget' about it for 5 years. We <br />
currently use the other as our holiday home. General view is <br />
that things will be picking up but I'm always interested in <br />
other people's opinions.    <br />

         <title>Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall on the Silver Coast</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br />
Zara Phillips, 12th in line to the British throne, is building  <br />
her first home abroad on the Silver Coast at CampoReal with her <br />
fiancé Mike Tindall the England rugby captain. </p>

<p><em>Another Royal wedding in 2011 - <strong>youtube video clip</strong></em><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/M8U5_TCPtXg?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0&start=5&end=20" width="480" height="303"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/M8U5_TCPtXg?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0&start=5&end=20" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/M8U5_TCPtXg/1.jpg" width="480" height="303" border="0" alt="video displays here for flash enabled browsers" /><br /><center><em>enable flash to see a video displayed above</em></center></object></p>

<p>Zara says of her choice of location: "I find I unwind quickly as <br />
everyone is very friendly but in a relaxed way. My villa will be <br />
built on the edge of vineyards that have been there for <br />
centuries, there are stunning beaches nearby and Mike and I can <br />
improve our handicaps on the golf course. The decision to build <br />
my holiday home here was pretty straightforward really."<br />

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello Miguel,</p>

<p>I can see why you were interested in this thread about "Project <br />
works Foz do Arelho / Obidos / Silver Coast". You should <br />
probably follow the links here on the Silver Coast Property blog <br />
and write to some of the companies mentioned here directly.   </p>

<p>The Silver Coast Property blog is not a company. It is my <br />
personal blog about what is happening in and around the Silver <br />
Coast Property market. I am not an employer. I'm a self employed <br />
web expert (welcoming work offers myself).  </p>

<p>Good luck in finding new employment.</p>

<p>sincerely,<br />
David</p>
