The young athletes participating in the 32nd Ori Jovem 2026 had a morning of learning and discovery at the Fortress of Almeida. During the event, participants learned about the history of the Battle of Côa, one of the most significant episodes in Portuguese military history.
The visit to the Fortress of Almeida took place simultaneously with the Middle Distance race of the competition. This monument was described as one of the most important historical landmarks in the municipality.
Ori Jovem is a sporting event dedicated to young athletes, which combines the practice of orientation with cultural and educational activities. The 2026 edition continues to promote this integration between sport, history, and local heritage.
