  Sines, Portugal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IPA ['sinɨʃ]) is a municipality in Alentejo, Portugal, with a total area of 203.0 km² and a total population of 13,531 inhabitants.
While Sines itself is not a desirable sea resort because of polution, relatively low temperatures and a global sense of decadence, the nearby village of Porto Covo atracts many tourists thanks to its preserved coastline and the beauty of the traditional buildings.
The economy of Sines municipality rests mainly on the petrochemical industry, hosting Portugal's largest complex of that sector.

 Portugal Country Analysis Brief
Portugal is a relatively poor country economically in comparison to its neighbors, with the lowest nominal per-capita GDP of all EU member states in 2003.
Due to the infancy of the country's natural gas market, Portugal has been granted a temporary exemption from fulfilling many of the requirements outlined in the EU Directive 98/30/EC on liberalizing the natural gas market (the exemption clause is outlined in Article 26 (3) and (4) in Directive 98/30/EC).
Portugal is also subject to the requirements of EU Directive 2001/77/EC on electricity from renewable energy sources, which requires the EU to increase renewable energy's share of total energy consumption to 12% and electricity produced from renewables to 22.1% by 2010 (Article 3, paragraph 4).

 (Day 2: Lisbon to Sines, Portugal)
For my first day of actual riding, I decided to ride south to Sines, which is essentially half way to Cabo de St. Vincente, the southwestern most point in Europe.
Sines is very different from Lisbon, much smaller and more peaceful, and great place for rich folk to take their yatchs.
It is noisy, and warm, but the noise has helped keep me up while writing this and the warm is just the way this part of Portugal is at this time of the year.

 Where's Chase Now? | Log Entry
Nothing would give me more pleasure than to write in this log about leaving Sines, Portugal, and being bound for points south and east (Click HERE and HERE for Sines pics) But, alas, that is not to be until—hopefully —tomorrow.
The folks at the Sines Marina—who are extremely helpful—actually scared up a mechanic who came by and said (or at least I think he said) that it was no problem to fix.
Getting it around Portugal, however, was hobbled by demands for a Portugese tax number (which I would not have as a US citizen) in order to pay duty, then demands for notarized copies of my passport faxed and mailed to UPS to prove my citizenship.
