o meu portugal*

What makes Portugal unique? The friendly and trusting people. The warm weather that makes clear blue skies with shining sun. The golden rocks in Southern Atlantic beaches. The luminous green in the landscape. The sheep cheese from Serra da Estrela. The bread from Alentejo. The soft wine from Douro. The fresh wine from Minho. The 1001 proverbs for each situation. The sound of the street sharpeners and the food market sellers. The traditions. The music. The poetry. The colourful folk art. The clothes drying outdoors. The glazed tiles in the walls and the red clay tiles in the roofs. Spending Christmas Eve by the fireplace in the mountains. The nostalgic feeling called 'saudade'. The smile of my child and the way she always dances, wherever she is.


*um dos primeiros postais que cruzei, rumo a França. Um desafio que deu muito gozo.
