Ride through northern Portugal
It's been a rough week. How about a relaxing ride through the Minho on the A7? https://youtu.be/UHzYQSCY1KI?si=sx772VxDJEACmqAa

Carnation Revolution documentary
I found a very fascinating documentary on the events of April 25, 1974. It covers what led up to that day as well as how the events of that day unfolded. https://youtu.be/8FSiG9tiPk0?si=2lW1zIvTm3FW3OPw

@Carl Munson Sim. I still have Portugal on my radar.
Ticket scalpers busted in Porto.
Here's an interesting video about a group of ticket scalpers that were busted in Porto. Apparently, they noticed this when some Danish fans complained about how expensive their tickets were to a match in Porto. It should be noted that tickets to soccer/football matches are relatively inexpensive even for the"big three" clubs (Benfica, Porto and Sporting), especially when compared to American football games. https://youtu.be/9Ol3292jJqU?si=hZ9Vz1AVF5JSgMTN
Hintze Ribiero Bridge Collapse from 2001
I found a video discussing some tragic Portuguese history. It's about a collapse of a bridge over the Douro River in 2001. You might find it interesting. https://youtu.be/4-crzKYjSXY?si=0DtsccSFjYkef0l3
Accident on the Glória funicular
This just posted on the AP newswire. https://apnews.com/article/streetcar-derails-lisbon-d63600ff5092969b088507bbccf44aab?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2025-09-03-Portugal It looks like they misidentified a funicular for a tram. Based on the service disruption on the Carris website, it was on the Glória funicular, which is assigned route number 51E. Sadly, there appears to be a large loss of life.

@António Ferreira I looked at a map last night. It hit harder when I realized I rode it last year.
