Coelho🐾🐇🇵🇹
June 11, 2026, Centro de Divulgação Aeronáutica

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.

Built in 1927, the Boa-nova Lighthouse is 46 metres high and is one of the highest in the country, at 57 metres above sea level. In 1950 it was electrified and in 1964 it was connected to the public electricity grid, controlling from then on the operation of the Quebra-mar lighthouses, the north and south quays of Leixões and Felgueiras, thus constituting the first remote control network installed in the country.

Today, Leça da Palmeira pays tribute to him through the sculptures located in the area surrounding the Boa Nova Lighthouse. The sculptures, representing the poet and his inspiring muses, are from 1974, by the sculptor Barata Feyo. Also in the Boa Nova area, carved into one of the rocks on the beach, we have a marble plaque reproducing part of one of his sonnets that evokes this very beach. On the beach there in Boa Nova, one day, I built (that was the great evil) A tall castle, which is fantasy, All of lapis lazuli and coral!
