3 The best news for tourism in Portugal, January 2012

The University of Coimbra should be World Heritage of Humanity in 2013
I sincerely believe that the whole university of Coimbra is classified as a World Heritage Year in 2013 which will be a seal of quality tourism tTo of utmost importance. The application file at the University of Coimbra (UC) at Heritage has been delivered by the Portuguese Government to UNESCO. This month has been taken one step further with the formal signing of the Portuguese government and his commitment to UNESCO.
Although the UNESCO to be at this time to bypass applications from Europe in favor of the classification of assets in other continents, particularly Africa, already exists in the old continent a vast number of ratings, the University of Coimbra enjoys a privileged position to become, briefly, a world heritage site and thus increase the flow of tourism in Portugal.
The uniqueness of the University of Coimbra (UC), as well as other candidates such as Portugal Baixa or strong Elvas, lies, first, the fact that this is not just a monument, but a whole set that integrates monuments, other buildings, very specific experiences associated with them. The tourism of our country will benefit if this happens.
There are two thousand pages in seven volumes that make up the dossier of application, prepared by the Dean of UC. In it mirrors what is and what is intended for the area candidatada that goes far beyond the area of ​​the University of Coimbra and Rua da Sofia. In fact, if we consider the full range of protection it becomes a candidate city.
A set that includes new projects, upgrades and changes designed to restore some monuments to the city, as happened with the University Tower, Via Latina, the House of boilers or the College of Jesus (whose facades have been rehabilitated, pending the opportunity to transform the space in the Science Museum). But the application also provides an opportunity to correct some mistakes of the past in terms of architecture and civil engineering from City High.

But all in good maps that I saw was not included in the Monastery of Santa Cruz (***), which is part of the touring more cultured of Coimbra, which does not make much sense because the existence of this scrip was medieval culture the root for the installation of the University of Coimbra. He loved the newspaper that was a mistake and not the application.
