The Inaugural Walk begins at the Fountain of Our Lady of Campanhã (Bonjóia Fountain), located beneath the VCI, at a point where contemporary infrastructure overlaps with historical remnants, highlighting the tension between the city’s different eras.

From this point of intersection, the walk proposes an exploratory route that unfolds over the course of an hour, gradually opening the gaze to the different scales of this territory—from the densest urban layers to the expanses of the valley. In a semi-guided format, the route alternates moments of diverse contextualization with moments of active participation by the walkers. Through small exercises in observation, listening, and a collective performative game, the group is invited to influence the route and to construct, together, an interpretation of the space. Thus, the path unfolds between guidance and wandering, transforming the journey into a shared experience of encounter, observation, and co-direction.

Associated Programme

Eastern Walks

The guided walks organised as part of the Caminhos a Oriente project are intended as an exploration of Porto’s Eastern District, undertaken collectively through the act of walking.

During these walks, there will be an opportunity for a discussion halfway through the route, during which participants will be invited to share their impressions of the walk so far.
