Synagogue Shaaré Tikvá was founded in 1904. It is the most important Jewish temple in Portugal.

Further info about the temple can be found [url=http://www.lisnagog.org/#ingles]here >>[/url].

It is a very beautiful building; unfortunately the location – amidst other building in the area - does not allow taking good pictures easily.

Vasco da Gama street in São Martinho do Porto, Portugal. During summer it is the busiest, most crowded street, where Pubs and all night life seems to concentrate. 
 
This is the São Domingos dam in Peniche, Leiria, Portugal. Unfortunately I have not found much info about the technicalities of the project; I can nevertheless say its use is mostly for agricultural purposes with some water sports and fishing also present. Since during the past winter it did not rained much here in Portugal the water level is currently much bellow what it is used to be – as with most other dams.

Memorial located in the city of Coimbra, Portugal, to honour the renowned Portuguese writer Miguel Torga, pseudonym of Adolfo Rocha.

The inscription reads «Miguel Torga, 1907-1995, Poet and Doctor, which for over half a century practiced on this building.»

Poet, writer, novelist, playwright, diarist and essayist, winner of the Prémio Camões, according to some, Torga is the «reincarnation of the classic mythical poet - the poet who lives in intimacy with elemental forces (earth, sun, wind and water) and celebrates them in his song.»
