Unlike other festivities around winter solstice in the North Eastern corner of Portugal, that are fast-paced and a bit on the crazy side, things at Vila Chã are more on the cozy side, which doesn’t mean less fun! Even in a ice cold morning like the one today. #snapshot #portugal #festadavelhaedomenino #trasosmontes






The ice cold dawns in Trás-Os-Montes during winter, that covers everything white . #portugal #trasosmontes #fujixt3#vsco



Back to the Mirandese plateau, where the pauliteiros will roam the streets inviting the villagers to the party, dancing or praying at each house, and finishing at the church: the only time of the year they are allowed inside.#snapshot #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice




Besides all the cult and the ritual, pagan or not, there’s one central thing that goes along hand in hand with all the food and drinking: fun! It was like that yesterday at Ousilhão, it was the same today at Grijó. #portugal #trasosmontes





Today was the day to return to Ousilhão, one of the villages in Northern Portugal where ancient masked traditions survived side by side with religious celebrations, and where beneath the fun and drinking there’s ritual more complex than it seems. #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao





Just making the best of the last hours on Denver. Making the last-minute shopping, going to that place you still haven’t explored, returning to that cool spot you found and want to check one more time. 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #denver #street






Sunday is match day!!🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #denver #street #denverbroncos #broncos





Back in town… Sunny and calm Saturday, spent chillin here and there in Denver, like everybody else.🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #denver





Amazing what an overnight 25°C temperature drop and a snowfall can do to a place, as white covers almost everything… 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #rockymountains #rockymountainnationalpark





As expected, the forecast was out for some days, temperatures plunged during the night (to - 9°C) so the morning woke cold and white. That much snow meant that, although open, the roads on Rocky Mountain National Park weren’t recommend for “normal” cars. So I had to stay a bit longer in town, good thing elks come to my motel and there’s a pretty creek by the city centre. 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #estespark #rockymountains
