Writing for the Resident, Daisy Sampson revealed that Tavira, Silves, Sao Bras de Alportel and Lagos have become members of the slow city movement, which seeks to enhance the quality of life in the areas chosen for both visitors and residents.
"Every slow city is encouraged to break away from being a homogenous city without identity and urged to promote local talent, traditions and produce," explained the publication.
Traditional cultural events of the towns and their heritage will be considered as priorities now that they are part o the movement, the writer added, which could interest those looking for a timeshare trip with some local culture.
Since its inception in 1999, the project has incorporated 100 towns and ten countries across the world.
