The initiative, part of the 'Portimão Caminhável' project, aims to make the city more accessible and inclusive, creating ideal conditions for those who travel on foot.

The works cover some of the city's main roads, including the 4 Estradas, Rua Jaime Palhinha, Rua D. Martinho Castelo Branco (up to Praia da Rocha), the old EN125 in front of Cabeço do Mocho, Rua Melvin Jones, Rua Nova da Boavista, Brazil Avenue and Gil Vicente Avenue.

“The 'Portimão Caminhável' project reflects the local authority's commitment to encouraging walking, recognising its relevance for urban mobility and the essential role it plays in the population's daily lives. By investing in the creation of safer and more accessible sidewalks, the municipality reaffirms its commitment to promoting a sustainable city that is friendly to all generations”.
