The secret side to Portugal crowned one of the best places in Europe to visit this year

THERE are lots of famous spots in Portugal like the Algarve and Porto. But have you heard of Arrábida?

Just 35 minutes south of Lisbon, Arrábida is a beautiful natural park with huge mountains and incredible blue waters that visitors describe as “paradise.”

Located next to the sea, between Setúbal and the lively fishing town of Sesimbra, Arrábida Natural Park has incomparable natural beauty.

It was described by Condé Nast Traveler as “one of the best places in Europe to visit in 2025”.

It went on to describe the Portuguese destination as “a hidden gem”, with “nature at its core in its purest state”, castles and “excellent wines”.

The Arrábida comprises miles of land and sea on the southern coast, close to Lisbon.

It has white sandy coves and huge mountains, but it isn’t as popular as other destinations in Portugal.

But with rave reviews, it should be. One visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: “You will be amazed! It’s just wonderful!

“It feels like we’re on the other side of the world UNAVOIDABLE. You must visit the park and the heavenly beaches.”

Another added: “Breathtaking landscape! The colour of the sea … a mixture of green and blue.

“The waters are transparent. You can sea fish around you! A paradise on land!”

Arrábida has crystal-clear waters and stunning coastline, so it’s no surprise that it’a great place for water sports, particularly snorkelling and kayaking.

On the water are often boat tours and coasteering, which involves exploring the coastline by swimming, climbing, and jumping from cliffs.

There are also dolphin-watching tours because there are often sightings of Bottlenose and Common Dolphins.

Sesimbra is in the foothills of Arrábida and is often known as a good place to stay for anyone wanting to visit the park.

It has hotels, bars and clubs as well as cafes scattered along the beachfront.

Getting to Arrábida only takes four hours after leaving the UK, including a 50-minute drive south from Lisbon airport.

Plus, the European city that feels like an outdoor art gallery with ‘rollercoaster’ trams and riverfront rooftop bars.

And the city break with £1.66 beers that’s hours from the UK.

My tiny garden was looking dull so I turned it into a pink paradise for summer using cheap buys from Home Bargains

Taking to social media, Kathleen shared the before and after images of her garden to show off her hard work.

She wrote: “Really pleased with my little project my hubby and I did. A lot of sweat, I think we have done really well considering we don’t like gardening.”

Prior to the makeover, the garden was lacking any character with its brick and stone floors and a small white bench in the corner.

But Kathleen was quick to get to work adding some pink paving stones to add a splash of colour.

She also added pink bunting around the garden along with some pink plant pots.

She also added some solar lights, flamingos and fake flowers to brighten up the space that she bought from Home Bargains.

The gardening whizz then added some new chairs for herself and her husband and also created a small seating area for her two grandkids.

“Love my colour choice, now time to enjoy the sun in my pink garden,” she wrote. 

“The grandkids have got their little chairs to enjoy the sun.”

The lovely and simple makeover left viewers seriously impressed.

The England Under-21 star’s move from Dortmund to Chelsea is all-but confirmed.

However, the club hasn’t had time to announce it yet as they’ve been focused on the Club World Cup.

Fans were left stunned when Gittens was seen smiling, hugging players, and soaking up the celebrations as if he’d already lifted the trophy in Blue.

One fan commented on X: “Why is he wearing Chelsea gear? We haven’t even announced him yet.”

Another excitedly added: “Bro switched jerseys before the announcement.”

While a third joked: “Maresca will still tell you he didn’t know he was there.”

Then there was a simple one: “He can’t wait.”

Gittens looked right at home and Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca admitted the winger would stay with the team for another day before heading off on holiday.

Moment ‘cowardly’ driver runs away after smashing stolen Porsche into family’s car & killing boy, 2, in hit-and-run

SHOCKING footage shows the moment a “callous and cowardly” speeding driver ran away after killing a two-year-old boy in a hit and run.

Sharjeel Shahzad was jailed for more than 15 years after he crashed a stolen Porsche Cayenne into a family’s car in Smethwick, West Midlands, just before 11pm on December 14 last year.

Shahzad already been banned from getting behind the wheel and was awaiting a court date for dangerous driving when he caused the death of a toddler and left his mum in a coma.

Wolverhampton Crown Court heard the 30-year-old, of Cooksey Lane, Great Barr, West Midlands, had been driving at speeds of up to 50mph.

He then overtook a vehicle on approach to a sweeping blind bend on Dartmouth Road and lost control of the powerful high-powered Porsche, which had false plates.

Sickening footage shows the reckless driver veering onto the opposite side of the road, into a Toyota Auris being driven by Baljeet Singh.

Cowardly Shahzad is seen moments later fleeing his vehicle without a second thought for the victims he left behind.

The criminal was caught on camera running without looking back as other shocked motorists came to a halt following the horror smash.

Baljeet, who was driving the other car, had been out celebrating a family birthday with his wife and friends that evening.

Also in the car were Amritpal Singh, Kushpreet Kaur and their two-year-old son Shehbaz Singh.

Shehbaz, who was unrestrained in the back of the Toyota, was pronounced dead, despite efforts to save him at the scene and at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Ms Kaur suffered severe injuries to her brain and is still in hospital. She has not been told her son has died.

The court also heard Shahzad had been due to face court on December 23 in connection with a 19-minute, 30-mile pursuit he led police on in a stolen Audi on June 10.

Shahzad reached speeds of almost 150mph as he tried to evade officers, heard the court.

He was only stopped when police rammed the Audi and he tried to flee the scene but was apprehended.

Shahzad had also been arrested for a similar incident the day before on June 9 but this case was not continued.

In October 2024, Shahzad was banned from driving for six months, despite only having a provisional driving licence, for driving without due care and attention.

Jailing him for 15 years and four months for causing the death by dangerous driving of Shehbaz Singh, Judge Jonathan Gosling said the impact of the fatal collision was “catastrophic”.

He said: “You destroyed the lives of Amritpal Singh and Kushpreet Kaur and devastated their family and friends. You killed that little boy.”

The judge said Shahzad’s “true character is revealed” by the fact he fled after the fatal collision with no regard for the hurt he had caused.

He added: “You are not only a dangerous man, you are callous and cowardly.”

Shahzad was given sentences of 15 months for dangerous driving on June 10, three years each for two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and four months for driving while disqualified, all of which will run concurrently.

While there was no evidence Shahzad was the one who stole the Porsche, by the time of the collision, it had false registration plates on which his fingerprint was found.

‘CALLOUS AND COWARDLY’

Judge Gosling said Shahzad had “completely disregarded the consequences” of his actions when he fled the scene, adding: “His only interest was to disappear. He was arrested two days later and denied being in the Porsche at the time.

“He complained he was being compelled to drive this way by men he feared. No one compelled him to drive like that.

“He ran from the car knowing he must, at the very least, have caused very serious injury to those in the Toyota.”

Defending Shahzad, Nicholas Berry told the court the defendant’s life had “spiralled in the most reckless manner” in the lead-up to the collision as his long-term relationship had ended and he had lost work.

He had written a letter to the judge expressing his remorse for what happened.

He pleaded guilty to the charges he faced at a hearing on April 11.

Judge Gosling also made Shahzad, who sat in the dock wearing a grey tracksuit and showed no emotion, subject to a three-year extended licence and banned him from driving for eight years upon his release.

He must also take an extended driving test before he is allowed to drive.

The judge recognised the efforts of two people who tried to help those in the Toyota and called out to Shahzad to stop as he fled by awarding them £500 each.

Another blow as drivers’ go-to garage with over 200 branches suddenly shuts site for good after string of closures

A LONG-RUNNING garage in the heart of a busy city centre has shut its doors for good — marking another blow for drivers across the country.

The National Tyres and Autocare site on St Cross Road in Winchester closed permanently on June 5, after a review by owners Halfords.

It follows a wave of closures for the firm, which runs more than 200 sites across the UK.

The garage had served locals for years, but staff have now been moved to the Halfords Autocentre at Martins Trading Park on Easton Lane — about a seven-minute drive away.

A Halfords spokesperson said: “We can confirm that our National Tyres and Autocare garage on St Cross Road has closed following a review of our estate in the area.

“We are committed to supporting impacted colleagues and are offering alternative roles at nearby Halfords locations where possible.

“We’d like to thank our customers for their support and hope to welcome them at our Halfords Autocentre garage which is about a seven-minute drive away in Martins Trading Park on Easton Lane.

“Customers can also access Halfords Mobile Expert – our mobile service that delivers tyre fittings, battery replacements, and other essential services directly to their doorstep.”

Halfords did not reveal what will happen to the now-empty site — but it’s thought developers could pounce.

A nearby Peugeot dealership was transformed into swanky new homes around a decade ago, and the land could now attract similar interest.

The closure comes just months after National Tyres shut branches in Huddersfield, Exeter and Croydon, leaving regular customers scrambling to find alternative services.

Earlier this year, drivers in Eastbourne were left stunned when their local Kwik Fit branch shut suddenly, with staff reportedly given just days’ notice.

Elsewhere, a historic MOT centre in Sheffield, open since the 1970s, closed for good in April after soaring rent and repair bills made it “impossible to keep going”.

And in January, motorists in Swansea were hit with a double whammy after both a Halfords garage and an independent tyre shop shut within weeks of each other.

And over in Sheffield, a family-run garage that had served the community since the 1970s finally gave up in April after rent hikes and equipment costs became unmanageable.

Owner Paul, 61, said: “We did everything we could. But the bills just kept going up — and people don’t come in like they used to.”

Industry analysts warn the trend may continue, especially as EVs (electric vehicles) need less servicing, cutting demand for traditional repairs.

Why are so many car dealerships closing down?

By Summer Raemason

According to Business Rescue Expert there are multiple reasons why car dealerships are folding across the UK.

The first major factor is rising online car sales which are beating in-person sales at dealerships.

With an extensive range of comparison and second-hand sites to chose from, may car buyers don’t even step foot into a dealership anymore.

Secondly, the actual cost to physically run the sites has soared.

Rent, wages and energy bills have all been increasing for roughly the past five years, putting many out of pocket.

Car manufacturing across the globe was also hit by a semiconductor chip shortage in 2022 which made it difficult to produce new motors.

The high demand with limited supply created a backlog, which although has eased, is still having an impact on the industry.

A third reason for recent closures is the shift to electric cars.

They are becoming more popular, given the Government initiative to be Net Zero in 2050.

The industry is also affected when companies merge or are bought by rivals.

This may lead to some independent names falling victim to the ongoing spate of closures.
