"The sea, when it casts its spell on us, imprisons us in its net of wonder forever." The quote is from Jacques Cousteau, who inspired us so much and that endlessly plunged into the depths of the oceans. He knew what he was talking about. And this is the phrase that opens the book by Deborah Cracknell, researcher and specialist in environmental psychology, author of the book “ By the Sea”. The sea that awaits us. The sea that embraces us. The sea that refreshes us. The sea, this organism with its own life, in constant movement. An irresistible magnet that attracts all of us. Whether on vacation or on the weekend, the important thing is to go close to the sea. The Minimal House is the perfect place to base your discovery of the western beaches. “Walking along the coast or swimming in the sea contributes to our needs for physical activity; going to the beach with family and friends fosters valuable social iterations; spending time in natural environments promotes the formation o...

Estamos no Verão. Verão é tempo de praia de de mar. Por isso centramos a nossa newletter no mar. O mar que nos espera. O mar que nos abraça. O mar que nos refresca. O mar, esse organismo com vida própria, em constante movimento. Um íman irresistível que nos atrai.  Quer seja nas férias, quer seja no fim de semana, o importante é ir para perto do mar. A  The Minimal House  é o local perfeito para servir de base à descoberta das praias do oeste. Em Junho crescemos e aumentamos a nossa comunicação com a criação de hastags e com criação uma página de instagram  @visitbombarral . Lugares especiais devem ser explorados com estilo. Foi o que fizemos também com a Bombike. A Bombike iniciou o serviço de aluguer de bicicletas, colocando à disposição de todos os que visitam o Bombarral as City Bicycles.  Bombike  Por fim este mês sugerimos o Aspiring Geoparque Oeste – a primeira pegada para a candidatura à UNESCO um projeto para breve.

We keep the social distance, but we remain together. Life is never done alone and these were times of union and sharing of efforts. Together with other Local Accommodations in Bombarral, we rehearse to increase the communicational scale around our projects hopping to attracting more public to Bombarral at this hard moment after. The creation of hastags shared between accommodations, local potential (products, attractions, restaurants, etc.), without naturally discouraging local administration, was the first step. (#visitbombarral; #avisitarnobombarral, #explorarrnobombarral, #oquefazernobombarral e #ALbombarral) But the best comes next with the creation of a Visit Bombarral instagram page. Visit our new page @visitbombarral and visit us!

  NOTHING COMPARES TO THE SIMPLE PLEASURE OF A BIKE RIDING (JOHN F. KENNEDY). When you ride a bike, you open the world from the 3-dimension. You are not only a pedestrian or driver; you are also someone who looks at current events from the different perspective.  He has a theory about what makes the pleasure of cycling so great. In evolutionary terms, humans have an innate desire to explore, to boldly go. I think there’s a psychological reward that comes from sating this desire. What’s more, when you’re running, you’re far more limited for distance and speed. On a bike, you can cheat time. There’s also an affectionate bond between man and machine. That’s what we did at Bombarral with Bombike. Bombike embracing a challenge posed by local lodgements from Bombarral launches the bicycle rental service, offering City Bicycles with a vintage design reminiscent of the old pastry shops. Just give Bombike a call (930477572) and explored Bombarral in a great style.

With Herbário Café Vegetariano we share not only the wonderful green of the chairs and the decor. We share music, ideas and concepts. The Herbarium was born out of Angela's passion for feeding people and an enormous desire to do her part to make the world a more beautiful, healthy and sustainable place. It is a small, simple, bright and comfortable space that pleases those who visit it by the feeling of being at home. The meals are light and satiating and with an excellent quality-price ratio. The public, in addition to being vegetarian, are mostly people who look for different concepts and offers, who are concerned with health and well-being and who are interested in gradually changing their diet. In the workshops they also teach, they teach that much more than the rules or measures, to prepare a good meal it is necessary to follow your intuition and let yourself be carried away by improvisation. All combinations, even the most unlikely ones, make sense when adding the essential i...

New by our house is the Sculptures Route in the Parish of São Bartolomeu dos Galegos and Moledo. The Parish of Moledo was the stage of a remarkable project, resulting from the partnership between the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and the local authority, which over the course of four years brought several students of the Master of Public Sculpture to the village of Moledo who developed pieces alluding to the Inesian theme. This acti on resulted in the construction of a Public Sculpture Route that had as main objectives the effective consolidation of this location as a historic village, combining it with the Inesian theme, as well as the urban requalification of some of its spaces. In the picture, a piece by Roberto Miquelino. "Saudade" this piece is composed of two organic volumes built in metal sheet strips, which create a kind of bag or cocoon.
