location:
Sines is a portuguese city in the District of Setúbal and its history has been shaped by the sea
The municipality is bordered to the north and east by the municipality of Santiago do Cacém, to the south by Odemira and to the west the Atlantic Ocean.

It is 160 km south of Lisbon, at the tip of Cabo de Sines that is part of the Alentejo coast in 2 parts: to the north extensive beaches of fine sand to Troia and to the south cove beaches that are part of the Natural Park of southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina.

The Phoenicians were the first to explore the region and the Romans made Sines a port near Miróbriga (Santiago do Cacém) - the origin of the word Sines comes from the Latin Sinus, ’clipping of the sea coast’

The best-known son of Sines was the navigator Vasco da Gama, knight of the Order of Christ, who entered history by discovering the sea route to India in the late fifteenth century.
From prehistory to the present day it was the sea and its resources that defined the economy, culture, composition and even character of its people, to this extent, the history of Sines is vast from the evidence of the existence of human populations through traces of some of these discovered settlements in archaeological stations such as Palmeirinha and Quitéria, passing through the Italian Naval School in Sines in the 15th/16th centuries, which trained in naval engineer of shipbuilding for the service of the kingdom and the other kingdoms of Europe, until the agreement between Portugal and England in the 19th century to start the productivity of agriculture, animals and cork in territory on the Alentejo Coast and the development of the villages of Sines , Santiago do Cacém, Odemira, Santo André and Milfontes and the villages of Porto Côvo, Melides, Abela and Grândola.

The 20th century begins practically with the restoration of the municipality in 1914. The cork industry, fishing and some agriculture and tourism form the basis of Sines’ life until the end of the 1960s, when, in addition to the proximity of the sea, Sines is little distinguished from the rest of the Alentejo.

In the middle of the 20th century, the large industrial complex created by the government of Marcello Caetano in Sines in 1970 changes the municipality. The population explodes and diversifies, the landscape gains new configurations and the community struggles to maintain its integrity and quality of life, mitigating the negative impacts of the installation of the new units and taking advantage of the positive ones.

Today, more than half of the port traffic in Portugal, mainly containers, is passing through the deepwater port of Sines. And the enlargement of the Panama Canal could give Sines a big boost, provided that a suitable rail link to Spain and Central Europe is finally built.

In the center of the bay of Sines is the large Vasco da Gama Beach, asleep between the pontoons. It is guarded in summer, easy to access and its tour offers quiet walks.

To the east, unveils the friendly Port of Recreation, the only one to the Algarve coast, with 250 seats for leisure boats, electricity, sanitary facilities, laundry, fuel filling station and WiFi.

Culture and Leisure:
Sines has a fantastic historical heritage from The Castle of Sines, The Fort of Revelim, the Fort of the Peach, the Standard of St. Torpes, several churches such as Our Lady of Soledade, Espírito Santo or Misericórdia, Mother of San Salvador or Our Lady of the Rooms, in addition to the fabulous beaches that deserve a swim, you can take the opportunity to go jogging on the beach wall.

Next to the beach, the gastronomic festival Tasquinhas Sines takes place in July. Fish and seafood are at the heart of the local cuisine, which comes directly from the auction. Dishes such as seafood açorda and feijoada de buzios are typical examples of the influence of a more rural Alentejo.

The main events in Sines are the Carnival and the Music of the World festival.

education:
Sines has several public and nursery schools and there are private institutions of reference guaranteed access to good studies for people of various social classes that makes the city an excellent location to live and study.

Composed mostly of sobreiros, pines and medronheiros.
Excellent investment.

Bank Financing:
Habita is a partner of several financial entities enabling all its customers free simulations of Housing Credit.

Location:

Melides is a portuguese parish in the municipality of Grândola, an area of approximately 155.2 km2, the parish of Melides, located in the coastal strip, 5 kms from the Atlantic Ocean and in the vicinity of the lagoon of the same name.

From the point of view of the relief presents two distinct zones: on the coast dominated the heaths, of reduced fertility, occupied by pine forests and eucaliptals, and cut by two floodplains of agricultural appetite - Fontaínhas and, especially, the floodplain of Melides, where the cultivation of rice abounds; - in the rest of the area the mountain is predominant, occupied by cork mounted and some pine forest, especially meek.

Melides Beach is located in the long strip of sand that makes the separation between the sea and the Melides Lagoon. Here will have shipwrecked the adventurer Portuguese the sixteenth century, Fernão Mendes Pinto, when he was attacked by corsicanries. His adventures were recorded in the work ’Pilgrimage’

Walking the 4 kms of the road that gives access to the beach, through pine forests and rice pads, you reach Melides, typical Alentejo village, with white houses and quiet streets that is well worth a visit.
The village of Melides must have emerged as a small cluster of fishermen/farmers who gradually concentrated their previously dispersed dwellings. The economic connection of these to the bar seems undoubted to us and the first oracle, Holy Navy, is proof of this.

Its toponym may originate from the Latin militi (military) and, as a curiosity, there is mention of the existence of two villages called Melide, one in Spain, Galicia, and another in Switzerland, next to Lake Lugano.

Within the scope of the heritage are advised the following visits: old urban nucleus of the village, where you can see some buildings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with balcony windows and wrought iron balconies; ruins of the Church of Santa Marinha (late 19th century). XV - beginnings of the XVI), where are still visible botaréus of unusual dimension; church of St. Peter (20th century. XVII - XVIII) that preserves elements of interest such as the vaulted ceiling of the chancel, a stone lavatory, in the sacristy, boasting the cross of the Order of Santiago and imaginary coeva; the pottery of Master Chico, being worthy of register the oven of typically Roman characteristics; molinological set of Boavista (windmills), from which you enjoy a vast landscape; fountain of the Eyes with a lunch park. It is a copious spring that supplies water to the village and part of the parish, and its surroundings are very pleasant.

After Comporta, Melides is the new destination sensation in Alentejo thanks to its deserted beaches, cork-mounted, days of silence and several new charming hotels...

It’s not really a hidden secret anymore. In recent years, there have been several articles in the national and international press about Melides. After comporta’s success, which the Financial Times even described as ’the Hamptons of Portugal’, it seems that the focus is now redirected a little further south, towards Melides. The celebrated shoe designer, Christian Louboutin, was only the first. With houses around the world, including a castle in France, an apartment in LA and a mansion in Lisbon, the designer swapped Comporta for Melides about six years ago, and his on-site hotel (long-advertised) is already under construction.

Melides presents a set of almost secret refuges, where there is no lack of comfort, elegance and sophistication... And there are several dream homes that the mounted and the pine forest hide. This is the case of the Italian Countess Noemi Marone Cinzano (she sold the Cinzano empire in 1999 to the Campari group and has since been a producer of organic wines in Argentina and Italy), who has built here a holiday retreat already photographed by AD-Architectural Digest North American. The same can be said of belgian architect and designer Vincent Van Duysen, who designed and built an iconic house here, and who has also been entitled to reporting in the New York Times.

The beaches

The municipality of Grândola has the largest stretch of beach in the country, so those who arrive here have plenty to choose from. In addition to the most popular beaches of Tróia, Comporta, Carvalhal and Pêgo, in the Melides region, the best known is Melides Beach, an extensive sandy beach with beach support.
In the vicinity of the beach is the Melides Lagoon that extends to the village through extensive rice pads and small islands where the richness of flora and fauna ensure activities such as bird watching, canoeing or walking.
It follows The New Open Beach, with access from EN 261-2 through a path partially on dirt, covered by pine forests.
Almost always empty, Galé Beach is the lady that follows. A secret that begins to unravel. As well as Praia da Vigia, another paradise, with access by a sandy road with about 5km. By the way, it is worth saying out of curiosity that it is in this area that Christian Louboutin has the house...

Com uma excelente localização, no centro histórico de Sines, perto de todo o tipo de comércio, a 2 minutos a pé para a praia.

Localização:
Sines é uma cidade portuguesa do distrito de Setúbal e a sua história tem sido moldada pelo mar
O município é limitado a norte e leste pelo município de Santiago do Cacém, a sul por Odemira e a Oeste o Oceano Atlântico.

Fica a 160 km a sul de Lisboa, na ponta do Cabo de Sines que separa o litoral alentejano em 2 partes: para norte extensas praias de areia fina até Troia e para sul praias de enseada que fazem parte do Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina.

Os fenícios foram os primeiros a explorar a região e os romanos fizeram de Sines um porto perto de Miróbriga (Santiago do Cacém) - a origem da palavra Sines vem do latin Sinus , ’recorte da costa marítima’

O filho mais conhecido de Sines foi o navegador Vasco da Gama, cavaleiro da Ordem de Cristo, que entrou na história ao descobrir a rota marítima para a Índia no fim do século XV.
Da Pré-História aos dias de hoje foram o mar e os seus recursos que definiram a economia, a cultura, a composição e até o caráter das suas gentes, nessa medida, a história de Sines é vasta desde das evidências da existência de populações humanas através de vestígios de alguns desses povoamentos a descoberto em estações arqueológicas como a Palmeirinha e a Quitéria, passando pela Escola Naval Italiana em Sines nos séculos XV/XVI, que dava formação em engenheira naval de construção de embarcações para o serviço do reino e os outros reinos da Europa, até ao acordo entre Portugal e Inglaterra no século XIX para iniciar a produtividade de agricultura, de animais e de cortiça em território no Litoral Alentejano e o desenvolvimento das vilas de Sines, de Santiago do Cacém, de Odemira, de Santo André e de Milfontes e das aldeias de Porto Côvo, de Melides, de Abela e de Grândola.

O século XX começa praticamente com a restauração do município, em 1914. A indústria da cortiça, a pesca e alguma agricultura e turismo constituem a base da vida de Sines até ao final da década de 60, quando, além da proximidade do mar, Sines pouco se distingue do resto do Alentejo.

Já a meio do XX, o grande complexo industrial criado pelo governo de Marcello Caetano em Sines, em 1970, muda o concelho. A população explode e diversifica-se, a paisagem ganha novas configurações e a comunidade luta para manter a sua integridade e a qualidade de vida, mitigando os impactes negativos da instalação das novas unidades e aproveitando os positivos.

Hoje pelo porto de águas profundas de Sines já passa mais de metade do tráfego portuário em Portugal, sobretudo de contentores. E o alargamento do canal do Panamá poderá dar um grande impulso a Sines, desde que seja finalmente construída uma adequada ligação ferroviária a Espanha e Europa Central.

No centro da baía de Sines fica a ampla Praia Vasco da Gama, adormecida entre os pontões. É vigiada no verão, de fácil acesso e seu passeio proporciona caminhadas tranquilas.

Para leste, descortina o simpático Porto de Recreio, o único até à costa algarvia, com 250 lugares para embarcações de lazer, eletricidade, instalações sanitárias, lavandaria, posto de abastecimento de combustíveis e WiFi.
