General

Coimbra is a beautiful city, near the river Mondego, it has a large tradition of culture and knowledge, because it has the second mots ancient University of Europe. The city really deserves to be visited.
The 23rd Hour - R�dio RR.: A past, present: The Stones are broadcasted for the first time among us through the 23rd Hour radio program. Jo�o Martins and Joaquim Pedro, hosts of the show, invited their faithful audience to choose the songs that would be selected by Decca for the first Stones EP in Portugal. It�s All Over Now, Carol, Tell Me e Can I Get A Witness. The first stone had been thrown. Many of us started here Many of us started here our recruit.......

COIMBRA -The City Delight, Set 27: Coimbra, city of enchantment, with a university established in 1308 by King D. Dinis, city from the Mondego to the Lapa, city of the old cathedral, of Jos� Afonso, of its typical guitar, of serenades, of the students� fraternities, of Teixeira de Pascoais, of Miguel Torga, of the typical portuguese feeling of missing � the eternal anxiety for the future, this is the City that receives the biggest rock and roll band of the world. Said : Coimbra tem mais encanto na hora da despedida..........
