lindissimo o litoral da Crimeia nesta zona, o toque entre a cultura Europeia e a cultura Russa patente na arquitectura é soberbo tambem :yes:

Realmente tem zonas muito distintas. Ou parecem os Alpes, ou uma praia paradisíaca ou até um bocadinho da Índia... É muito bonita.

é uma cidade lindíssima, tal como aquela zona toda do mar negro :yes:

Arpels a Crimeia é a península da Ukraina. Penso que a zona de Sochi já não se chama Crimeia.

Mas um pouco mais magrito.

…o "Leste" tem muito que ver…existem cidades, até maiores que o Porto, das quais nunca ouvimos sequer falar…

Até os grandes rios siberianos estao representados...

espectacular!:yes: tanto a localização como o projecto!

Só uma nota Sochi não fica na Crimeia, Arpels. Se assim fosse estava na Ucrânia.:cheers:

Quanto ao projecto parece interessante mas também me cheira um pouco a novo-riquismo russo com os seu kitsch à mistura. Ninguém mais tem esta opinião?

... Também havia uma ilha para o Algarve :lol:

…mas não tinha a forma de Portugal…logo chumbou…
