Castelo Branco is hosting a new edition of "Diabetes em Movimento," the Portuguese exercise programme aimed at people living with diabetes, according to diariodigitalcastelobranco.pt. The outlet reported the local edition on Saturday, 3 October 2026.
The programme is not limited to Castelo Branco. The same reporting round-up shows it returning in several municipalities across the country. In Penafiel, A Verdade reports that sessions are back at the Pavilhão Municipal de Galegos. Jornal do Centro says the programme started this week in Lamego, and Viseu Now reports that São João da Pesqueira is also resuming the project. Tavira's municipal council announced that the initiative returns in October.
Taken together, the reports indicate a coordinated autumn restart of a programme that runs in multiple locations rather than a single local event. Each municipality appears to organise its own edition, with venues such as Penafiel's municipal pavilion hosting sessions. The available reports do not specify session times, participant numbers or eligibility criteria for the Castelo Branco edition.
What is clear from the coverage is the timing: the programme is restarting in October 2026 in communities in different parts of Portugal, from the north to the Algarve.
Residents in Castelo Branco and the other participating areas should watch their local council's channels for registration details, schedules and venue information, since these specifics were not included in the initial reports.
