The festivities related with the winter solstice run from mid December to mid January, with three peaks: Christmas, New Year’s Day and Three Kings Day. Salsas is probably the largest of the Three Kings Day festivities, where the local “caretos” are joined several masked people from the northernwestern corner of the Iberian Peninsula, and where everybody finally gathers around the burning “Old Year”. This massive bonfire feels like a perfect spot to end this “winter solstice season”. #snapshot #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festadosreis #mask #fujixt3 #vsco
