Covid.19: Moto Clube de Faro criticizes cancellation of this Sunday’s parade
As Moto Clube de Faro announced on Thursday on Facebook, “for reasons beyond our control and without any consistency, the traditional parade through the city will not be held” which would be scheduled for Sunday.
Moto Clube de Faro apologizes for what happened, implying that it does not agree with the decision of the competent authorities, “… We are not together … but separated in ideas and actions”, the message reads.
Last Tuesday, José Amaro announced that they were waiting for the consent of the responsible entities, noting that the patterns of the parade would be the same as in previous editions, “without stops or gatherings of people”. The match would take place on Sunday morning in Vale das Almas towards Faro, “when we get to the city, everyone follows his route”, he stressed.
Despite the impossibility of holding the parade, Moto Clube de Faro organized a symbolic program in order to mark the 39 years of the concentration.
In this way, there is an exhibition of motorcycles, in the building where Zara once went, on Rua de Stº António, between 10 am and 11 pm, with the presence of artisans and a tattoo spot.
Albufeira beaches will have free yoga classes
During the months of July and August, the 26 beaches awarded the Blue Flag in the municipality of Albufeira welcome free Yoga classes, as well as information and environmental awareness, the municipality announced.
This is one of the actions of the municipality’s Environmental Education program, in the sense of providing well-being and physical activities to vacationers, ensuring the safety of all those present and their comfort.
The municipality informs that an information panel on the blue flag program and the marine and coastal environment is installed on each beach that runs the award. This year’s motto is “Back to the Sea… with an attitude of change”. Vacationers can thus gather information about the correct use of bathing areas, the care to be taken in the context of the pandemic, recommendations regarding sun exposure, use of waste disposal containers, existence of a first aid station, lifeguard and respective rescue equipment, as well as interdictions with respect to compliance with the rules of the beach notice.
Yoga classes will take place at 16:00 in July and at 10:00 in August.
This July the classes are on the following days and beaches: 20 – Rocha Baixinha Nascente, 21 – Rocha Baixinha, 22 – Santa Eulália, 23 – Olhos de Água, 24 – Rocha Baixinha Poente, 27 – São Rafael, 28 – Oura, 29 – Oura Leste, 30 – Manuel Lourenço and the 31st – Praia do Evaristo
