April 25th 2025 – A Green Escape and a Sporting Challenge in Chaves
This Friday, to celebrate April 25th, I decided to head to the north of Portugal, where I could recharge in nature with my family. It was the perfect opportunity to take a step back and reconnect with the beautiful landscapes of my region. Northern Portugal is full of hidden gems, with peaceful spots that are perfect for relaxing and exploring. If you haven’t yet visited this area, I highly recommend it for its charming villages, stunning mountains, and rich local culture.
Of course, relaxation doesn’t mean inactivity! I also took advantage of my time in the north to make progress on building the website for my project, The Crazy Runner Porto. Between moments of relaxation, I worked on refining the details of my running tours in Porto. It’s an exciting project, and each step forward makes me even more eager to share this adventure with you.
As always, I couldn’t miss the chance to take on a challenge. I participated in the 10 km race in Chaves, an event organized by the local municipality. While I’ve run races before, this was the first time I took part in a race that was completely free. The registration fee was waived, and I even got a T-shirt and a medal! The weather was perfect for running, and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was a great way to explore the region while pushing myself physically.
Northern Portugal has so much to offer, and it’s a place I truly recommend for anyone looking to combine outdoor adventures with local culture. From beautiful nature and charming towns to fun events like this race, there’s always something exciting to discover.
