A quiet day in the Centro, with both stories leading to Mealhada: a forest on camera and a conversation about keeping our streets and water clean.
Television personalities João Manzarra and Ana Guiomar were in Mealhada on Thursday, filming in the Mata Nacional do Bussaco. The recordings are part of a project meant to showcase destinations and experiences across Central Portugal. They form part of an initiative called "Desapareça 48H no Centro de Portugal".
Certoma, a Mealhada-based seller of street-cleaning machinery and equipment, is celebrating its fortieth anniversary at the Grande Hotel de Luso. A morning colloquium on Friday 23 October, starting at 9.30, will look at the challenges facing the sector, with solutions aimed at municipalities and parish councils. The opening features the environment secretary of state and the head of the Coimbra metropolitan intermunicipal community. Two panels follow, one on water and sanitation and one on street cleaning, with speakers from regional water companies, Lisbon city council and Cascais Ambiente. The celebrations continue with a dinner and a performance by Herman José.
