Joaquim Agostinho - the best portuguese cyclist ever
He participated 13 times in the Tour de France and in 1978 and 1979 he achieved the best result, ranking third.
In 1979, 10 years after his debut in the Tour, Joaquim Agostinho reached the biggest achievement of his career, winning the mythical stage of Alpe d'Huez.
On April 30th 1884, while disputing 5th lap of X Tour Algarve, Joaquim suffered a head trauma in an accident caused by a dog crossed the road. With the yellow jersey on, he rode his bike again and crossed the finish line with help of two colleagues from team. He had a surgery 10 hours after the accident and stayed in a coma for 10 days, fighting against death, which ultimately defeated him on May 10th 1884.

Museu do Caramulo - the cars and motorcycles
Two brothers, Abel and Joao de Lacerda founded in the 1950's, a unusual museum in a small town called Caramulo, situated on a mountain in the center of Portugal with a luxuriant vegetation overlooking an 80 km valley: the vastest panoramic view of the country.
With the premature death of Abel de Lacerda in 1957, the Fundaçao Abel de Lacerda was created – today Fundaçao Abel e Joao de Lacerda – the institution that runs the Museu do Caramulo, with both buildings for Art and Automobiles, open to the public all year round. More than one million visitors have come to the Museu do Caramulo in its fifty years of existence.
