(28) IN THE OPEN AIR
A few images from urban parks in Europe:
Copenhagen - Denmark
Santiago de Compostela (Saint James of Compostela) - Spain
Nearby London - England
London - England
The urban parks are privileged areas for leisure and for different formal and informal sports activities, which is quite healthier than the exercises in gyms but not yet very common in Portugal.
Sportsmen from abroad have already complained about the lack of adequate practice areas in open air, away from traffic, pollution and urban noise.
We just have a great climat for plants to grow fast and for people to leisure and sport in the open air, but our government chooses to promote gyms instead of parks... (The portuguese government has recently lowered the gyms' VAT).
