The third largest city in Zimbabwe, Umutali (now Mutare) is located in Mashonaland East Province, close to the Mozambique border and is the country's key gateway to the Indian Ocean. Known as the "Garden City of Zimbabwe", this hub of subtropical climate and fertile land has an economy centered on mining (gold, iron, chromium), agriculture (tobacco, tea) and forestry, with a network of railroads and highways connecting inland ports. Just outside the city, the Oriental National Park is renowned for its tropical rainforests and wildlife, making it a model for ecotourism and nature conservation, combining industrial dynamism with natural charm.
Located in the northwestern part of the Portuguese region of Lisbon, about 30 kilometers from the capital, Mafra is a fascinating city that combines Baroque art with natural beauty. Its centerpiece, the Palácio de Mafra, is one of Portugal's most magnificent Baroque complexes, built in 1717 as a palace, convent and royal library, with a collection of 25,000 ancient books and an organ that is one of Europe's greatest treasures. The city is surrounded by the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, where you can explore the breathtaking scenery and forests of the Atlantic coast on foot or by bike. In June, the "Festival of Mazan" is a vibrant celebration of the local culture with traditional music, food and folklore events, attracting visitors to experience the unique charm of this "living history museum".
