Autocares M. y A. Vicioso – Europa Mundo Vacaciones – Beulas Glory


Coach operated by Autocares M. y A. Vicioso seen at Praça D. Pedro IV, Lisboa, in April 2014. This coach is a Beulas Glory registered in 2013. It uses the Volvo B13R chassis with the Volvo D13C engine. Established in 1977 and based in Madrid, Autocares M. y A. Vicioso operates regular specialized services and occasional services. Here, we see this splendid Beulas Glory on an occasional service under the "Europa Mundo Vacaciones" brand. Established in 1997 and based in Madrid, Europa Mundo Vacaciones is a leading tourist operator with activities in most European countries, as well as in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Middle East, South Africa, India and East Asia. As a note of interest, the "floating" hand seen behind the windshield naturally belongs to the guide and points towards the statue of D. Pedro IV, King of Portugal, the historical figure who gives the square its name.

Introduced in 2008, the Beulas Glory is a top of the range luxury coach available in lengths of 43.3 ft, 45.6 ft, 46.6 ft and 49.2 ft and with capacity for up to 76 passengers. Established in 1934 by Ramón Beulas and Narcís Pujol and based in Arbúcies, Beulas offers a diverse range, from the Gianino minicoach (24.6 ft, 27 passengers) to the Jewel double-deck coach (47.9 ft, 93 passengers). ●

Back to Normality

Image
After the disastrous choice of the British operator VODAFONE as my internet provider , which sent my connectivity back into the dark ages and whose mediocre or non-existent service affected five months of publications (September, October, November, December and January), it is finally possible to bypass the obstacle with the support of an interested party. The return to normality should occur from February 20th, closing with sixteen publications the cycle dedicated to passenger vessels in regular or tourist service on the Tejo River. As a note of interest, partly motivated by this disastrous experience with the British operator VODAFONE, I will soon launch a new digital space –  UNPLEASANT | LX . It will be interesting. By the way, the problem reported to the operator VODAFONE in August 2023 is still unsolved in February March April October 2024 . Literally, unbelievable. As I wrote in one of several texts published on social media and made known in Berkshire, «[…] the expressive

Despite its historical value, the place it occupies in the hearts of successive generations of commuters and with a robustness and reliability that have not been surpassed by more recent constructions, it was not possible to keep the fe
