The senior population of the Amora parish visited Lisbon on October 27th, exploring Rossio Station and Estrela Basilica, utilizing the free Carris Metropolitana pass.

The initiative, promoted by the Amora Parish Council as part of Senior Month, aims to foster active aging, social interaction, and combat social isolation among residents aged 65 and over. The outing included a historical visit to the monumental 19th-century architecture of Rossio Station, followed by a trip to the Estrela Basilica.
The activity, completely free for participants, was supported by the Parish Council's logistical assistance, reinforcing ties with residents. Nelson Ramos, president of the Amora Parish Council, highlighted the importance of these excursions in encouraging seniors' autonomy through public transport and demonstrating that "seniority is a phase full of life, projects, and new paths to discover."
The Amora Parish Council invites all residents aged 65 and over to join upcoming initiatives. Interested individuals can follow announcements through the local authority's official channels or register via email.
