esquecido esquecimento


Quando se fechou aquela mesmo porta, agora repleta de ferrugem e esquecimento, pela última vez?
Quando escutou pela última vez o riso de uma criança a soltar-se no horizonte dos montes em redor?
Poucos desígnios são tão trágicos para uma aldeia como o de uma escola que fecha … os desígnios das crianças que já não há … ou que, havendo, mal chegam para preencher as quatro paredes de uma escola tão modesta e humilde …
Poucos desígnios são tão trágicos como o de assistir ao tempo esculpindo o seu mais inexorável esquecimento nas paredes, nos poucos móveis que ficaram como testemunho museológico, ou num ou outro caderno que já não soletra senão a tez do pó e da sujidade …
Quando se acreditou pela última vez num futuro que não fosse uma contagem decrescente até ao “último” que ainda persiste …
ainda há esperança?
Por agora ficam estas imagens que comovem tão profundamente o espírito …

Meeting Porto “Side B” - Friday, 18th of March, Circuit 6 – Sto Ildefonso into the centre of Porto

Meeting Porto “Side B” - Friday, 18th of March Circuit 6 – Sto Ildefonso into the centre of Porto



 “Terramote351” – Meeting Porto “Side B”, the real Porto
Meeting Porto “Side B” (International Eco-Social Tours) is a project inside the Terramote351 Project that aims to guide foreigner visitors or inhabitants through the less well known side of Porto, Porto side B. Therefore it´s not a conventional touristic tour. It´s a tour focusing on social, ecological, cultural aspects, in spite of the fact that history is always a very relevant element.
Discovering the past, roaming the present and dreaming the future are proposals contained in this walk by some of the hidden or forgotten treasures from Porto city. Old rural farms, old nobel houses, city gardens, sublime panoramic views… and a lot, lot more. Above all, a Tour that for sure will surprise you at each step.

Terramote351 – Intervention and Eco-Social Tours
Terramote351 is a pioneer project, arising from Porto city, and it exists to develop the principals and values of Eco-Social tourism.


Always with the purpose to aware people to the local realities throughout Eco-Social Tours with historical, cultural and, above all, Eco-social relevance.
The tours work in an informal and familiar way. At the tours people interact and share: Them experiences, knowledge and visions.
They also are discovery and adventure tours, where secrets of the urban and rural spaces are unraveled with all their…plainness.
