Non-profit association whose main objectives are to preserve the history of aviation. For 20 years, this group of aviation enthusiasts has promoted and participated in the organization of events, namely, the dissemination and demonstration of aeronautical topics in schools, exhibitions, workshops, and air festivals. We observe the high enthusiasm of children and adults for flying machines, sometimes seen as almost inaccessible. Young people thirsty for new information and experiences have always been very receptive to this type of event. We want to pass on the legacy of the aeronautical spirit, providing physical contact with aircraft and dynamics that give them a closer idea of the real world of aviation and space. Seeing how engines work, simulators, educational and targeted videos, how physics, mathematics, chemistry, English, among other applied areas such as piloting, mechanics, medicine, psychology, first aid, meteorology, emergency survival, and much more are related, is a dynamic we want to make a reality. We believe that these dynamics are the way to tell the story and motivate the desire to learn to train good professionals in the future. Interactive platforms where visitors can see how machines work and interact with the acquired knowledge. Proximity to the airport and airfields are important and also allow for joint activities. The areas of focus are: General aviation, models, radio modeling, simulators, restorations, training, events. Today was the day to meet Huguinho

This obelisk commemorates the landing on July 8, 1832, of the liberal fleet commanded by King Pedro IV, who arrived with an army of 7,500 men from the Azores. Their objective was to establish a modern, liberal regime in Portugal, confronting the prevailing absolutism.

The Obelisco da Memória, also known as the Mindelo Monument, is an important historical monument located on Praia da Memória, in the parish of Perafita, Lavra e Santa Cruz do Bispo, within the municipality of Matosinhos, north of Porto.

The very well-known German comedian Hape (Hans-Peter) Kerkeling embarked on the Camino de Santiago through Spain in 2001, keeping a diary that was later published as a book. In the 'Real Monasterio San Zoilo', he notes an observation that I would also like to offer the viewer of this sacred small monument: „Directly above it hangs the huge crucifix, and for the first time, I consciously notice that the crucified one is clearly looking in one direction: From our perspective, Jesus Christ looks to the left in most depictions. To the west. Towards the sunset, the night, death. But from his perspective, he is looking to the right, to the east. Towards the sunrise and life. What appears to us as a dark end is, in truth, the radiant beginning for him. And undoubtedly, only his perception can be considered the correct one.“ (Hape Kerkeling in „Ich bin dann mal weg. Meine Reise auf dem Jakobsweg“)

The cross at Padrão da Légua marked the separation of the roads, one headed towards Viana do Castelo and Barcelos, and the other, the old one, headed towards Vila do Conde after crossing the Leça River on the D. Goimil Bridge.

The cross, a place of worship, displays a sculpted image of the Crucified Christ, dating from the 17th century, with the symbolic function of sacralizing the “Way”.
