It is no longer called the Hiking Festival, but “Walkers – Frontier Experiences”: this is the new format for exploring Alcoutim and Sanlúcar de Guadiana, which will feature a program of discoveries and adventures on the 17th, 18th and 19th of August and September 21, 22 and 23.
With a new name and a new image, the event «invites participants to explore the charms of the region, while enjoying walks associated with good food, the charms of the landscape, agro-pastoral activities, astronomy, traditional arts and the simple to let yourself go», explains the Alcoutim municipality in a note.
Alcoutim and Sanlúcar de Guadiana, located on the banks of the Guadiana River and with the Serra do Caldeirão as a backdrop, offer a variety of trails and paths.
The new format also focuses on promoting sustainability and integration with the local community. Throughout the year, the festival will feature themed walks that explore the cycles of local products such as cheese, honey and aromatic herbs.
Participants will have the opportunity to connect with local producers, learn about traditional techniques and taste the flavors of the region.
«Our intention is to create a hiking festival that goes beyond simple physical exploration. We want to provide participants with a complete experience that connects them with nature, the local culture and the region's products», says vice-president of Alcoutim City Council Paulo Paulino.
Anyone who wants to can sign up for the festival.
