This week we turn our attention to a ground-based sport: parkour, which gives us a fresh look at familiar places.
The purpose of this activity is the training and discipline of the body and the movement in order to overtake the obstacles ahead without the aid of any equipment other than the body itself. A practice that was born from military obstacle course, in France.
Nowadays, it is usually practiced in urban areas, as this week’s video proves. A group of friends jumps from bench to bench and from wall to wall, with Ericeira spots (Ermida de S. Sebastião, Algodio Beach and Santa Marta’s Park among them) used as a massive playground.
