This Saturday, Cova da Piedade will host the event "Barrocas sobre Rodas," which aims to revive the tradition of roller carts. The initiative promises to bring back an activity that was part of the local culture and was common among young people in the region.
The event will energize the community with an activity that evokes the traditional games of previous generations. The roller carts were handcrafted and used to descend sloping streets, constituting a form of popular entertainment.
The organization hopes this activity will be appreciated both by those who experienced this tradition in the past and by new generations who will have the opportunity to learn about it. The event takes place in Cova da Piedade, a locality that thus aims to preserve and enhance its intangible cultural heritage.
