Penafiel prepares week to bring generations together and get the city moving

Jornal 36012 September 2026 at 15:52

Penafiel will dedicate a week to mobility and coexistence between generations, with a program that brings together children, young people, adults and seniors in different activities. The initiative runs from September 16 to 22, within the scope of European Mobility Week 2026, under the theme "Mobility for All – Intergenerational Equity". The Municipality of Penafiel has prepared activities aimed at the school community and the general public, including bike rides, walks and an intergenerational train journey.

The program kicks off with a Photography Contest aimed at primary school children, running from September 14 to 18. On the 19th, the initiatives "Generations Cycling" at 9:30 AM and "Generations Walking" at 8:30 PM take place. On Sunday, September 20, between 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM, the streets host the "Streets for Play" initiative, while the following day features an Intergenerational Train Journey.

The week ends on September 22 with European Car-Free Day, in a day dedicated to alternative mobility. On that same day, at 2:30 PM, the Point C venue hosts the conversation "Cities for People, Living Businesses", dedicated to pedestrianization and the relationship between public space and commercial activity. Registrations for the "Generations Cycling" and "Generations Walking" initiatives are already open, and participation in the Walk15 – Steps Challenge 2026 can also be followed through the Walk15 app.

Why this matters

The population of Penafiel, especially families with children, young people, adults and seniors, is directly affected by this week of activities, which offers free opportunities for socializing and discovering the city through active mobility modes. The initiative follows the tradition of European Mobility Week and ends with European Car-Free Day, encouraging reflection on the use of urban space in the city.

On this 'famous' island pigs 'live' in the sea and not all tourists can enter: find out where it is

Big Major Cay island, known as Pig Island, in the Bahamas, has become one of the most unusual tourist attractions in the world, with dozens of pigs that live by the sea and swim in crystal-clear waters, attracting visitors from across the planet. The origin of these animals remains shrouded in mystery, with various theories including sailors who left them for later consumption, survivors of a shipwreck, or intentional creation for tourist purposes. Access requires a flight to a small regional airport and eight to nine-hour boat excursions, which are not recommended for pregnant women, young children, or people with spine or heart problems. Despite its viral popularity, the attraction raises concerns about animal welfare, including exposure to extreme weather conditions and inadequate feeding by tourists, leading experts to recommend responsible behavior and choosing operators committed to preservation.

"Abundant maritime landscapes": retired American raves about this Algarve town's beaches for its imposing cliffs and hidden caves

The retired American Terry Coles highlighted Lagos, in the Algarve, in an article updated in July by the publication International Living, which recommends 11 Portuguese cities for living after retirement. In the text dedicated to Lagos, titled "Abundant maritime landscapes," the author describes the city as combining golden sand beaches, protected coves and rock formations shaped by the Atlantic, highlighting Batata Beach for its proximity to the historic center and Ponta da Piedade for its "imposing limestone cliffs," rocky pillars, natural arches and hidden caves. The article also mentions Costa D'Oiro, which includes beaches like Dona Ana and Camilo, and Meia Praia as an alternative for its extensive sandy shore, also noting that Lagos attracts a significant international community and has adequate infrastructure for foreign residents.
