On The Go
Quick picks and previews, taken with the phone or processed with the phone, usually while travelling but also random moments from everyday routine.
In the Mirandese plateau there are no masks, but the festivities are not that much more religious because of that. The pauliteiros will roam the village, dancing at each house and finishing at the church: the only time of the year they are allowed inside. #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesaojoaoevangelist #festadosmocos #pauliteiros
Still in a similar tone of the winter solstice masked traditions, that was baptized as Festas de Santo Estêvão, but this time the mischiefs, running through the streets and drinking were at an old favorite of mine: Grijó. #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festadosrapazes #mask
Festas de Santo Estêvão (this one at Ousilhao), a religious name for a masked tradition that has very few religious rituals in it, and remains mostly a pagan festivity related with the Winter solstice. #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festadosrapazes #mask
Returning to Trás-Os-Montes for me also means football fields, this time revisiting one of my favorites! #nature #landscape #portugal #trasosmontes
