Walking in Portimão
Would you like to get to know Portimão better? Are you ready for some exercise? Then come to the NCA city walk on Sunday May 16.
You may know Praia da Rocha and Fortaleza Santa Catarina, but you will see that this city has much more to offer.
Raymond & Gerty have lived in Portimão for over six years and are your guides during the walk. It promises to be a nice trip through the lesser known (read less touristic) part of this city. Portimão is above all a port city and is also one of the largest cities in the Algarve. Portimão has always been closely linked to fishing. The largest sardine fleet in Portugal still sails here and fishing is an important part of the local economy.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the lives of almost everyone, with people having to adapt to the lockdown restrictions and here we see the pandemic through the eyes of students in Portugal.
The pandemic has affected all economic and social sectors, including higher education in Portugal. Students have been forced to change their lives through a regime never used before in Portugal. If students used to go to university, sometimes even moving to another city to undertake their studies, they now instead are locked down in their homes, in front of a computer watching online classes while trying to achieve academic success.
