In the history of mankind, David inspires us because he defeats Goliath. Holding the wind by grasping it with your hands is, and will always be, nevertheless, in vain. Preserving history is, rather than inglorious, mandatory. Transforming military history into cultural identity, honouring the suffering of its makers, and preserving collective memory is essential. Join efforts in a common objective of safeguarding the interests of the territories.

Valuing, requalifying, welcoming, developing, educating, exploring, these are values ​​shared by six municipalities connected by a historical period, a military heritage of reference for the History of Europe, and an important tourist-cultural route: the Historical Route of the Lines of Torres Vedras (RHLT). ). Today, the allies are, among others, the Municipalities and Turismo de Portugal.

If the RHLT is an important mechanism for safeguarding and enhancing a defensive military system, it is also a tribute to collaborative work and a time capsule that brought people together and linked municipalities in a common defence undertaking. A trajectory of approximation in which heritage, tourism, leisure, and education are a territorial mortar that solidifies through its orientation. If the specificity of the municipality honours and portrays this past with its own motto, this is what connects everything.

In terms of wind, windmills have been built in our territories to make the most of their unfavourable nature. The Lines of Torres Vedras will also always be a reference for taking advantage of a plural European identity which, to overcome adversity, unites. David fighting Goliath. The once pulsing human resistance and resilience are once again present in the current pandemic. Bearing in mind the most recent geopolitical events, its example leaves us with the hope that together we are capable of generating winds of change. Whenever history demands it.\
