Location

The Cáster Urban Path is located in the city of Santa Maria da Feira, establishing a green link between the Fernando Pessoa Primary School area and the Municipal Swimming Pools. Its central position within the municipality of Santa Maria da Feira makes it an accessible location, inviting a tranquil experience in the heart of the urban fabric.

A Revitalized Natural Corridor

This path stands out as an example of environmental and leisure valorisation. Along its route, the landscape is enriched by the recent planting of various native tree and shrub species. One can observe oaks, alders, cork oaks, and stone pines, which contribute to biodiversity and a cooler, more pleasant environment. The Cáster river, accompanying much of the path, lends a natural and serene dimension to the space.

Space for Enjoyment and Well-being

Designed to provide moments of rest and connection with nature, the Cáster Urban Path is ideal for gentle walks. Its paths invite a break from the daily routine, offering a setting where local flora and fauna can be appreciated. This green space contributes to visitors' well-being, providing a relaxing environment and an opportunity to connect with the natural surroundings within an urban context.

Commitment to Biodiversity

In addition to its recreational function, the Cáster Path reflects a strong commitment to promoting sustainability and biodiversity. The recovery and management of the Cáster river valley, through the planting of riparian species and the creation of flower meadows, fosters the presence of pollinating insects and the rehabilitation of wetlands. This initiative aims to protect and enhance natural heritage, contributing to the city's environmental resilience and the creation of a more balanced urban ecosystem.
