The new season of Sintra Senior Sports has begun, promoted by the Sintra Municipal Council with the support of the Parish Council, encouraging residents aged 60 and over to stay active.

The program offers gymnastics, dance, walks, strength training, and aquatic activities, combining physical exercise with social interaction and well-being promotion for participants.
In the parish of Sintra, classes take place in two locations: SPALD – Lourel and URCA – Abrunheira.
More than just a sports initiative, Sintra Senior Sports aims to combat isolation, foster new friendships, and promote the autonomy and quality of life for seniors.
The Parish Council reiterates its support for the project, highlighting the importance of providing opportunities for active participation for all generations, as aging healthily means continuing to move.
