Free Peddy-papers to discover Lisbon’s sidewalk
We already know that the alfacinha sidewalk hides many secrets. But now the By the Sidewalk project, created by the Escola de Calceteiros, of the DMRH / Department of Development and Training, of the Lisbon City Council, promises you around the city without taking your eyes off the ground, with two free peddy-papers: one only for adults and the other for families. Enrollment is mandatory.
The peddy-paper for adults (over 18 years old) is scheduled for May 22, from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, and departs from Praça D. Pedro IV, in Rossio. It ends at Praça Luís de Camões, about three or four kilometers later, stopping at various places in Baixa and Avenida da Liberdade. Entries can be made between the 2nd and 13th of May and it is possible to participate or as a team (three to six members). A camera or cell phone is required to take pictures.
The family activity takes place on June 19, from 9:20 am to 12:30 pm, also departing from Rossio and arriving at Praça Luís de Camões. This tour is approximately two hours, less than 3 km – and each family is closer to 3 km, with at least one adult who will be responsible for the must register. The camera or mobile phone for photographs are once again mandatory.
The game is very simple: it has 24 stops, with 24 questions. If you make a mistake or don’t answer, you don’t receive points; each correct answer equals one point. A map of the course, sheets with elements of the races, an advertisement sheet for the race, texts on technical curiosities, historical texts about the course and a historical document of satisfaction are delivered for each race. At the end of the peddy-paper each person/family receives a certificate of participation.
The recommendation of proper clothing and organization.
Lisbon, Sunday, 22nd of May (09.20 – 12.30), 19th of June (09.30 – 13.00). Free. Registration: [email protected]
