February 19, 2023, Montalegre, Misarela, Portugal: Posters that say No To Mines are seen during a small demonstration of Misarela Caretos against the lithium mines that are harming the entire ecosystem of Montalegre. Entrudo da Misarela is a socio-cultural dynamization project that aims to bring the two banks of Rabagao closer together, around the same idea: to recreate Entrudo as a celebration of the entrance of Spring. The event happens in the Misarela bridge, a bridge that was built in the middle ages, located in Montalegre in the North East of Portugal.
