Location

The Grupo Desportivo Recreativo Cultural Papagovas is located in the town of Papagovas, nestled within the Miragaia and Marteleira urbanisation. This area, which belongs to the municipality of Lourinhã, is characterised by a typically village-like and tranquil environment. Its location offers visitors a perspective on life in a local community, marked by the serenity and welcoming atmosphere of a Portuguese village.

Its Origins

Founded on April 20, 1982, the Grupo Desportivo Recreativo Cultural Papagovas was established with the purpose of invigorating community life. From its inception, this space has taken on a multifaceted role, encompassing sports, recreation, and culture. Its name faithfully reflects the original vision of its founders, who sought to create a meeting point and a venue for the development of diverse activities for the local inhabitants.

A Hub of Community and Culture

Throughout its history, the Grupo Desportivo Recreativo Cultural Papagovas has established itself as a central hub in the village's social and cultural life. It serves as a space for unity and sharing, where traditions are cultivated and local talents are celebrated. An example of this was the recent tribute to Maria de Lourdes Sarreira Pena Carvalho, a notable figure in the Papagovas community, known for her contributions as a poet and cultural and social promoter. This type of initiative highlights the Group's active role in preserving memory and promoting local identity.
