In the last few years I’ve been going again and again to the North of Portugal, so much that sometimes part of me is starting to feel I came from there. One of my main subjects has been the masked and other winter festivities, amazing pagan traditions that precede Christianity. And now I’m really happy, because what’s probably the most popular of those festivities has been included in UNESCO’s Intangible Heritage list: the Caretos de Podence!!!#portugal #trasosmontes #caretos #podence
