I had the pleasure of road testing Portugal's CR7 hotels in Funchal (Madeira Island) and Lisbon, which are the product of a partnership between the world's greatest football star (or soccer star for my Aussie readers) and Portugal's largest hotel group, Pestana. I must admit I was a little unsure about the concept of a football themed hotel, but was pleasantly surprised – it turns out Ronaldo and Pestana nailed the groove factor.
You can read my two-part series about the CR7 Funchal and Lisboa on the Australian website Design Travel. CR7 Part 1, Funchal CR7 Part 2, Lisbon Two new CR7s are due to open in late 2018/early 2019 in Madrid and New York.

Cristiano Ronaldo is my favorite footballer and to me will forever be the greatest footballer of all time. I enjoyed watching him play for Real Madrid when they carried UEFA Champions League three times in a row. I hope he also carries the UEFA Champions League with his current team "Juventus" before he retires. I blog often and truly appreciate your content. The article has really gotten my interest. I am going to bookmark your blog and keep checking for new details every week.

There are different kinds of cars. A car or automobile is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation of cars say that run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four tires, and mainly transport people rather than goods. I think the most <a href="https://dbojtech.com/how-to-download-movies-and-tv-seires-from-tfpdl/">expansive car</a> in the world is (KOENIGSEGG CCXR TREVITA) which is $4.8Million in price.Those cars look really nice thanks for this article.
