The project "Life with Rhythm – More Life to Life Program" promotes another Senior Trip that will take residents of the Olhão council aged 60 and over to discover the historical, cultural and natural heritage of Portimão and Alvor, between September 15 and October 23.

The program includes a visit to the Portimão Museum, housed in the former premises of the Feu Cannery Factory, where participants will be able to see the permanent exhibition "Portimão, Territory and Identity", which addresses the city's relationship with the Arade river, the sea and the canning industry.

During the afternoon, the initiative continues in Ria de Alvor, with a passage through spaces linked to fishing tradition, including the old Fish Market and the historic Shipwreck Rescue Building, which houses a lifeboat from the 1920s.

Registrations run from August 31 to September 4 at the parish councils of Moncarapacho, Olhão, Pechão, Quelfes and Fuseta, while the trips take place on various dates throughout September and October.

O próximo Passeio Sénior, promovido no âmbito do projeto “Vida com Ritmo – Programa Mais Vida à Vida”, vai levar a população sénior do concelho de Olhão à descoberta do património histórico, cultural e natural de Portimão e Alvor, entre 15 de setembro e 23 de outubro.

Destinado a residentes no concelho de Olhão com mais de 60 anos, o passeio propõe um dia de convívio e descoberta, com visitas a locais de interesse histórico e cultural das duas localidades algarvias.

O programa inclui uma visita ao Museu de Portimão, instalado nas antigas instalações da Fábrica de Conservas Feu, onde os participantes poderão conhecer a exposição permanente “Portimão, Território e Identidade”. A mostra aborda a relação da cidade com o rio Arade, o mar e a indústria conserveira, destacando parte da identidade e da história local.

Durante a tarde, a iniciativa prossegue na Ria de Alvor, com uma passagem por espaços ligados à tradição piscatória e à história marítima da região. Entre os pontos de interesse estão a antiga Lota e o histórico Edifício de Socorro a Náufragos, que alberga um barco salva-vidas dos anos 20 do século passado.

As viagens realizam-se nos dias 15, 18, 22, 25 e 29 de setembro e 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20 e 23 de outubro.
