Situada longe da pressão dos núcleos urbanos e rodeada por sistemas naturais sensíveis, a Praia de São Rafael, em Albufeira, é um autêntico refúgio de areia dourada e águas cristalinas.
Localizada junto ao empreendimento turístico com o mesmo nome, esta zona balnear destaca-se pela sua beleza cénica e pela atmosfera exclusiva de uma praia equipada, mas de uso condicionado.
O que torna São Rafael verdadeiramente única é o seu cenário geológico.
O areal é abraçado por arribas calcárias que, moldadas pela força do mar e da chuva, criaram esculturas naturais fascinantes.
Em seu redor, entre arcos, algares e leixões, a natureza exibe aqui toda a sua criatividade.
Nas dunas, as plantas salgadeiras completam o quadro: ao início ou final do dia, é possível ver os cristais de sal a brilhar nas suas folhas.
Nas suas imediações existem pelo menos duas outras praias, pequenas, mas deslumbrantes, que também vale bem a pena visitar.
Uma delas, a encantadora Praia dos Arrifes, situa-se a nascente e a outra, a idílica e quase secreta Praia do Ninho das Andorinhas, do lado contrário.
Kevin Dupzyk’s profile of Sam Rockwell, a “legendary scene-stealer” now in his fourth decade of work, is a crisp and entertaining one-act, with journalist and actor holed up in a spare Manhattan greenroom. Dupzyk studies Rockwell while Rockwell studies the room, testing the durability of his own idiosyncratic observations—about Red Bull and loss and rain—to see what they might yield in a conversation with a stranger. Dupzyk had wanted to “gin up some action for this story,” but it’s strangely compelling to watch Rockwell’s gaze prowl the room, to see what lodges in the filter of his creative process.
Rockwell is a good tennis player. And like any good athlete, he trains. For as much as he appears to get by on natural charm and charisma, he is an actor’s actor, a true believer, in his words, an “acting nerd.” Research. Running lines. Exerci—
“Do you know what a gibbon is?” Rockwell asks.
“Like, a monkey?” I say, confused.

The house with the red-brick exterior, huge old-growth maple, and sprawling back patio on Castle Frank Crescent in Toronto’s pricy Rosedale neighborhood seemed like the perfect symbol of generational wealth and respectability. As Malcolm Johnston reports for Toronto Life, the occupants, Chakib Mansouri and Majdouline Alouah, might have appeared to be upwardly mobile, driving fancy cars and “dripping” with designer couture. In reality, they funded all their luxuries with a life of crime.
By the fall of 2023, Mansouri and Alouah were so engrossed in their lives of leisure that neither picked up on the vehicles tailing them, day after day. Nor did they notice the plainclothes officers posted up on street corners, in condo lobbies and at cafés, collecting evidence that would expose the couple’s part in an audacious scam that stole more than $185 million from victims in Toronto, across Canada and around the world.

It’s a “Hot Socialist Summer,” proclaims the New York City Democratic Socialists of America Instagram. Indeed, it has been a summer of socialist victories, with more socialists winning electoral office in June than ever, including Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, who are headed to Congress; and the socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is visible everywhere, from announcements about an impending municipally owned grocery store with cheap food staples to the Knicks victory parade to announcing huge gains in back pay for the city’s deliveristas, those who deliver food for DoorDash and Uber Eats.
All this good news feels somehow related to the celebratory atmosphere of summer, a time of cookouts in the park and block parties and dips in bodies of water. But our ability to enjoy summer is deeply tied to the success of the socialist project. That’s because capitalism is ruining summer, and dear reader, only socialism can save it.
Let’s start with the worst part: the weather, brought to you by fossil fuel capitalism. When we think of summer, most of us nostalgically recall childhoods playing on the block, going to the beach, running around barefoot, families grilling at the park — all made possible by the warm, sunny weather. People are still doing all those fun things, but there have been fewer days on which to do them as of late, because the climate crisis has brought some truly horrible weather.
This summer has been marred by deadly heat waves all over the world, including in places like Spain, which used to be a summer vacation destination but at times reached 109 degrees Fahrenheit this summer. Not to mention the awful air quality, which produced many days we couldn’t go outside, caused by wildfires from Canada — a regular feature of the ongoing climate crisis. And on days that were not too hot or polluted to enjoy the outdoors, we were often pelted with flooding rainstorms. All of these forms of extreme weather, and many others, are products of or wildly exacerbated by the climate crisis.
While Democrats, amply funded by fossil fuel capitalists, run away from climate as an issue, claiming it doesn’t poll well, a rising ecosocialist movement fighting for publicly funded renewable energy and against the vampiric, energy-sucking data centers, and electing politicians who will stand up to the fossil fuel and tech polluters, is our only hope.
Of course, summer 2026 has not been an uninterrupted apocalypse. On some days, the weather has been perfect. But for many, capitalist wealth hoarding means that the places they can go to enjoy these days are limited. Since most people don’t have their own private island, the mass enjoyment of summer requires public space. In New York City — mostly because we had social democratic government and powerful unions in the middle of the twentieth century — we do have great pools, beaches, baseball fields, and shady parks. Ninety years ago this summer, as Ted Hamm recently chronicled for the Indypendent, 50,000 New Yorkers attended the grand opening of a new pool in Sunset Park.
“This is the finest swimming pool in the country,” said then Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has cited as a role model, “and it’s all yours.”
That same summer, LaGuardia, who was never anti-capitalist but was closely allied with socialists and revered for his pro-worker policies, opened eleven new pools across the five boroughs, all of which are still open today.
New York has continued in this tradition, and the current socialist administration has done so with enthusiasm and intention. This summer, after seventeen years of disuse, Mayor Mamdani reopened the beautiful art-deco-style Orchard Beach Pavilion, built in 1936 with funding from the Works Progress Administration, now renovated with the historic architecture preserved, with upgraded concessions and communal spaces. Mamdani also expanded the lifeguard program to improve access to its wonderful pools and beaches; the lifeguard union pushed for better pay and bonuses, and the mayor widely publicized those improvements to the job, increasing the number by 150, expanding our access to safe swimming at the city’s fourteen miles of public beaches and seventy-nine outdoor pools. This administration has prioritized summer fun for all, allowing huge free street watch parties during the Knicks playoffs and the World Cup, as well as free outdoor film screenings.
American-style capitalism and its insane work culture also robs us of the time to enjoy summer’s pleasures.
But in much of the United States, people are not so lucky. Good public swimming pools have become harder to find, thanks to austerity and privatization (as well as, in some places, the legacy of segregation). Less than half of Americans live within three miles of a forest. And tragically, 70 percent of our shoreline in the United States is privately owned, with only 10 percent protected by robust public access laws. The rich don’t want to pay taxes to make beautiful public spaces, and they’ve been allowed to not only hoard that wealth but also our most stunning natural resources.
Wrecking the weather and robbing us of beautiful spaces aren’t the only ways that capitalists deprive us of the full fruits of summer. American-style capitalism and its insane work culture also robs us of the time to enjoy summer’s pleasures. As Claire Valdez, a trade unionist and socialist assemblywoman from Queens who was elected to Congress in June, pointed out on the popular Instagram show Subway Takes, New York City has the best beaches, but most people are so busy working that they don’t have enough leisure time to go. The United States is the only rich country that does not obligate bosses to give workers paid vacations; without a union to negotiate such benefits, or fair wages, and with so little else provided — health care, housing, college — many can’t afford to stop working even for a couple weeks.
Socialism is the antidote to the wage slavery and work addiction that the boss class prefers. In fact, socialists invented summer vacation. Ninety years ago, in response to trade union demands and a “holiday movement,” Léon Blum, socialist prime minister of France, mandated paid vacation for all the country’s workers. Blum’s Popular Front government was so committed to summer vacation that it not only required the bosses to allow it but also invested in making summer getaways possible for workers, negotiating with railways to offer vacation packages that workers could afford. Communist governments were also ahead of other countries on summer vacation, requiring employers to offer time off and investing in resorts, campgrounds, and spas where workers could not only relax and return ready to work but also have adventures and experiences outside of work, whether exploring unknown places, engaging in activities like biking, or indulging in the apparently socially sanctioned “resort affair.”
New York City summer benefits enormously from our own socialist history and a current administration eager to govern in that tradition. But as Hamm pointed out in his Indypendent piece on the swimming pools, 1930s working-class New York had a freely flowing spigot of federal money to rely on through the New Deal. Mamdani is trying to do a lot with a very different federal government, one seeking to not to improve summer vacation for working-class people but actually worsen its conditions, even cutting staff and access to cherished public vacation spots like National Parks.
The vibes this summer are strong and the commitment to socialist summer fun meaningful. But it will take a much more fundamental rearrangement of our economy to address climate change, redistribute property and wealth for broadly shared public space, and rewrite labor relations to allow us the real time off that we deserve.
Edição de 2026 reforça a posição de Olhão como referência nacional na gastronomia ligada ao mar e no calendário de eventos do verão algarvio.
O 38.º Festival do Marisco de Olhão encerrou este sábado, 15 de agosto, depois de seis dias de celebração da gastronomia da Ria Formosa, da música e da identidade marítima do concelho. A edição de 2026 recebeu cerca de 50 mil visitantes, permitindo igualar os números registados no ano anterior e consolidar o evento como uma das principais referências gastronómicas e turísticas do Algarve.
Realizado no Jardim Pescador Olhanense, o Festival voltou a colocar em destaque a excelência do marisco e dos bivalves da Ria Formosa, a par de um cartaz musical diversificado, que contou com Matias Damásio, Deejay Telio, Némanus, Calema, Mariza e Daniela Mercury.
A edição deste ano ficou, também, marcada por um conjunto de melhorias introduzidas no recinto e na organização do evento, com destaque para o reforço do espaço disponível, o aumento das condições de segurança e a criação de um novo espaço dedicado à venda de marisco, contribuindo para uma maior fluidez e redução dos tempos de espera.
A diversificação da oferta gastronómica foi outra das apostas de 2026, com a estreia do Poke Market na área de street food e a presença da pastelaria Kubidoce, que apresentou especialidades inspiradas na tradição e identidade do concelho, como o floripes e o moncarapachense.
Para o presidente da Câmara Municipal de Olhão, Ricardo Calé, “com o recinto melhorado, o marisco de excelência e com a resposta de todos os serviços que fazem parte de um festival que se quer marcante, dinâmico, acessível e, acima de tudo, com um cartaz de excelência, conseguimos ter um ano muito, muito bom”.
O autarca destaca, ainda, que a edição de 2026 permitiu “perceber o seguinte: aumentar o espaço, aumentar a segurança e, acima de tudo, continuar com a grande qualidade de marisco que temos e com parceiros de excelência nessa área e, ao mesmo tempo, acompanhar a componente gastronómica com um cartaz de qualidade é a receita que torna o Festival do Marisco único e um dos eventos que marca a agenda do verão algarvio”.
Para Ricardo Calé, o balanço positivo desta edição resulta, igualmente, de um trabalho de preparação e aprendizagem a partir de outros grandes eventos realizados no país. “Tivemos muito cuidado para perceber aquilo que se passou este ano, não só aqui no Festival do Marisco, mas em outros eventos em todo o país. Encontrámos os melhores momentos, fizemos os contactos certos. Se acharam que este Festival do Marisco foi especial, aguardem pela 39.ª edição, que vai trazer muitas surpresas”, afirmou.
O presidente da Câmara Municipal de Olhão deixou, ainda, uma palavra de agradecimento a todos os que contribuíram para o sucesso do evento: “Muito obrigado a quem nos visitou e a todos os olhanenses pela forma como os receberam”.
Com cerca de 50 mil visitantes, o 38.º Festival do Marisco encerra, assim, uma edição que voltou a afirmar Olhão como capital da gastronomia ligada ao mar e reforçou a importância do evento para a promoção turística e económica do concelho, projetando a identidade, os produtos e a hospitalidade olhanense junto de milhares de visitantes nacionais e estrangeiros.
A próxima edição, a 39.ª, já está no horizonte e promete trazer novas surpresas a um dos eventos mais emblemáticos do verão algarvio.
In an update to its formal filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Public Citizen today blasted the Trump administration’s arbitrary, capricious and exploitative campaign to build the Constitution Pipeline, calling the project contrary to the public interest.
The filing comes days after the Trump administration enforced the annulment of a fourth New York offshore wind project, which included a payment of $1.2 billion of taxpayer money to the company to terminate the project.
RWE U.S. Offshore, the company that had previously been set to develop the New York Bight offshore wind project, agreed to end the project because the company stated that it “determined there is no path forward to permit these projects in the U.S. for the foreseeable future,” according to a release from the company.
“Based upon President Donald J. Trump’s unambiguous statements, his administration is forcing an end to New York offshore wind energy projects in an effort to coerce the state’s Governor to support the Constitution pipeline,” said Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen’s Energy Program. “Trump’s coercive quid pro quo campaign is an arbitrary, capricious and exploitative attempt to strongarm unnecessary fossil fuel infrastructure by using taxpayers money to pay off the wind industry. Trump’s entire endeavor to build this pipeline is a massive and unnecessary waste of money.”
The filing today is an update to FERC, expounding on Public Citizen’s initial filing in June, challenging a petition by Oklahoma-based Williams Companies for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and operate Constitution Pipeline. On June 9, on a trip to New York to attend the NBA finals, Trump said that because New York’s governor “broke” a deal to support the Constitution gas pipeline, he would move forward with canceling the wind projects, saying: “so I guess we’re withdrawing those windmills.”
The Trump administration has now stopped two New York offshore wind projects since that threat. Public Citizen’s filing warns that FERC’s inaction to investigate this unlawful shakedown violates the public interest and threatens electric grid resource adequacy.
