𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹! Dat ik een passie heb voor onderscheidende business concepten, passende verdienmodellen en ondernemen met impact, dat is hopelijk geen verrassing💚. In de wereld om ons heen ontstaan er steeds meer mooie, sociale initiatieven. Ondernemingen die niet alleen economische, maar ook maatschappelijke en/of sociale waarde nastreven. Maar (hopelijk) wel met een goed doordachte business case 'eronder'. De ambitie van en het verhaal achter Hotel Hotspot Hutspot in 010 is zeker inspirerend.

It's time to discover another Portuguese treasure from our collection 🎁!   > Discover our range of BLACK CERAMIC SWALLOWS. Why are they so successful and always a great gift idea? ✨ They are 100% handmade and painted by talented Portuguese ceramists. ✨ They are beautifully designed, and come in black, the traditional colour of the ceramic swallow. ✨ They can be displayed at home, in the office or in the garden. ✨ They are offered as amulets of harmony, good luck and prosperity.   Swallows hang out in Portugal for some of the same reasons humans do: warm weather and good food 😉... But what exactly do these birds mean and why are they so popular in Portugal? It is no exaggeration to say that the swallow is one of the most famous Portuguese symbols. A symbol of love and loyalty, but also of home and family, this bird represents feelings that are deeply rooted in Portuguese culture. It all started in 1891 when Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro designed the first ceramic swallow at his famous ceramic factory. It quickly became a bestseller and a symbol of Portuguese life. Nowadays, you’ll find these 'Andorinhas' everywhere. As an icon of Portugal, these delicate items are one of the best souvenirs that can be offered.   You feel inspired? You need special gifts to celebrate your next event in Portugal?

Luxury Villa Party in Cannes, anyone? Looking forward to Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes Festival de Cannes with a mix of business, pleasure and hopefully sunshine. However, one party invite I will definitely not be RSVPing yes to is the one hosted by dunhill and Dunhill Ventures (purveyors of 'Luxury Retail Goods & Jewellery' - conveniently forgetting to mention the fags). Unbelievably and crassly, they've decided to host it at Villa Oxygene. I watched my dad die the most horrible death trying to breath after a lifetime of smoking, having started when it was marketed as cool and good for you. As will have millions of others. So, yes this is an emotional post. No doubt the inheritors of the presumably massive dunhill fortune make themselves feel somewhat better by now investing in 'good things'. Good for them, I'm sure they're all lovely, well meaning people and hopefully they're investing in the right places. But it would all be so much more authentic and would go in some small way to honor the lives ruined by fags if they had the courage and humility to own the source of their wealth. Sidebar: The Dunhill Medical Trust report this in their 2021 investment policy document - spot the misdirections and helpless laggardly behaviour: "Our name is often mistakenly associated with the tobacco industry, which is a clear conflict with our charitable aims in medical research and healthcare. While our founder was a member of the Dunhill family which founded the eponymous luxury goods brand which included sales of tobacco products, the original endowment was a personal bequest from Herbert Dunhill’s estate and not in the form of a donation or legacy from the family business....That bequest has been invested in a range of collective funds in the global investment markets ever since and no direct investments in tobacco have been made. The Board has now taken the decision to avoid investment in tobacco1 using the definition supplied by the Joint Protocol of Cancer Research UK and Universities UK on Tobacco Industry Funding to Universities. The investment portfolio as at November 2021 contained no holdings in tobacco stocks either directly or indirectly" https://lnkd.in/e-UE3MME

Galician Pazos - Overview The term "pazo" comes from the Latin "palatium" and refers to a traditional Galician manor house, typically located in the countryside. These manor houses, built between the 17th and 19th. centuries, featuring heraldic, religious and ethnographic elements, were the residences of nobles or important figures. Unlike classical palaces, pazos are more discreet, harmonizing with the landscape, and served both residential and agricultural functions. These buildings were usually constructed in strategic locations (elevated areas), to provide a panoramic view of the land and better control over the estate. They are characterized by their robustness and design, with stone as the predominant building material, reflecting the Galician spirit of tradition and resilience. Many have coats of arms on their facades, marking the nobility and lineage of their former inhabitants. Additionally, they often include a chapel, a reflection of Galicia’s deep religious tradition. Beyond their residential role, pazos played a key role in the regional economy, with fertile lands often used for vineyards, orchards, and farms. Socially, pazos were hubs of power, hosting important meetings, parties, and events that cemented the owners' social standing. They are living witnesses to Galicia's history and paying a visit is a journey into the heart of this magical land’s traditions. Some of the most spectacular pazos feature gardens that are at their best in spring and autumn, and in winter, they are part of Galicia’s famous Camellia Route. Today, many pazos have been restored and opened to the public, transforming into museums, hotels, or event spaces. A visit to a pazo is like traveling through time, connecting with history and the importance of preserving this rich heritage. Pazos are a reminder of Galicia's grand past and a legacy that should be enjoyed and protected by future generations. There are around 900 pazos cataloged in the Inventario Xeral de Patrimonio of Galicia, and nearly a hundred are on the market. Prices ranging from €350,000 to €6 million.

Views, views, views. It's what places in #Valencia don't tend to have as Valencia is flat. So when you get a view as good as this and you get it from every room as the building is on a corner then it's worth taking a look at. https://lnkd.in/e5MGk-F3 #ValenciaProperty
