At the same time, I will talk about some toponymic alterations throughout the 18th century, before and after the earthquake. There will also be room for a fado about the alley of straw and the origin of the expression "a lot of shit" in the Theater, as well as changes to the patio of comedies and the Palace of the Inquisition, currently the Teatro Nacional Dona Maria II

The immersive sound experience, as a form of nature tourism, is in itself a rather uncommon activity. The choice of location for a sound walk, along the edge of a natural park, ensures a rich “sonodiversity” with evident seasonality.

It is an absolutely singular activity that, fortunately, is being developed in a region of Europe whose biodiversity greatly enhances it. From endemisms to seasonal changes, passing through the reproductive periods of a wide variety of species, sound walks in nature whisper—through birds, insects, mammals, amphibians and plants - the meaning of the words "life" and "communication"
