Criação Velha – Discovering a Territory in Detail

“Criação Velha – Discovering a Territory in Detail” aims to introduce the parish in an inclusive and intimate way, promoting the routes as meaningful paths, where the very act of walking the streets and trails becomes an experience enriched by the opportunity to notice and appreciate every detail.
With this route, the parish of Criação Velha invites you to explore its territory slowly, attentively, and sustainably. To support this, it has created on-site features that help visitors navigate and understand the area — including directional signage complemented by digital information, accessible through QR codes at various points; printed materials; and an adapted bicycle for visitors with reduced mobility.
A project by the Parish Council of Criação Velha.
