The TransAlentejo Walking Festival is an event that takes place over four weekends, covering the entire territory of Alentejo, in a total of 47 municipalities and covering the 50 TransAlentejo Pedestrian Trails that are infrastructured on the ground.

Given that there are 8 days available for the practice of 50 walking tours, there must be a wide range of walks that take place simultaneously. Participants must therefore make their choice in which they wish to participate.

The Walking Tours agenda is available in Global Program with the name of the tour, the municipality where it takes place, information about the meeting point, the entity that will accompany you and the status of the appointment. As they are confirmed the "schedule status" changes to "Confirmed". If you sign up for a Walking Tour that is not confirmed, you will be informed and you can choose another one in the region.

In each Pedestrian Walk, a participation quota is reserved for local inhabitants of the municipality where the event takes place.
