A Natural Refuge

This park stands out for its abundance of large trees, the linden trees (tílias), which give it its name and a fresh and welcoming atmosphere, especially appreciated on warmer days. The ample and open spaces, equipped with stone tables and benches, invite visitors to relax, enjoy an outdoor meal, or simply find the quietude the place provides. It is a point where nature is accessible in the heart of the locality.

Distinctive Elements

In addition to its tree-lined landscape, the Tílias Park features elements that enrich its identity. A barco rabelo, a traditional river boat, serves as an adornment and adds a scenic and symbolic touch to the environment. Thinking of families, the park has a playground, designed with wooden equipment and a sand base, ensuring a safe and fun play space for children.

Stage for Traditions

The Tílias Park plays a significant role as a setting for the recreation of cultural and historical events. Annually, the site hosts the 19th Century Fair, an event that transports visitors to the rural life of past eras. This initiative reproduces, with rigor, the values and customs of yesteryear, through costumes, craft demonstrations, sale of agricultural products and domestic animals, traditional music, and old dances. The event highlights the rich ethnographic heritage and cultural identity of Castelo de Paiva, transforming the park into an authentic window to the region's traditions.
