Day three. Markets, a big favorite of mine. Big part of the day was spent between street stalls and this one: the Red Market.#adifferentchina #macau #street #fujixseries #vsco

The first real day, with the first kilometers under my feet at Macau old town, running away from the hot sun and the crowds of the Ruins of St Paul. #adifferentchina #macau #street

My plan for the next few weeks: cruising the streets in the Far East, and checking three places that aren’t really China, but kind of still are.PS - at the very end of this narrow alley you can see the real China, that one with the red flag. #adifferentchina #macau #coloane #street
Starting to have some work done from my week walking all the way to Compostela, about to write something about this… ;)www.flickr.com/photos/t3… #spain #caminodesantiago
Camino de Santiago
Two years ago I started planning to do the Portuguese Way pf the Camino de Santiago, but “chickened out” thinking I wasn’t ready for it. I ended up spending those days at Trás-Os-Montes (probably my favorite region in Portugal), assuming I’d left the Camino behind for a while. I quickly found out that wasn’t the case, as I discovered I was right in a route that goes through the Montesinho Natural Park (later found out it’s an alternative to the Silver Route that joins the Sanabrese Way). I don’t believe in signs, but this has been a small motivation ever since.This year was the time to finally do it, and Ana Morais and João Eugénio joined me in it. Slowly and steady we managed to walk the 160km from Ponte de Lima to Santiago de Compostela, sit down in the middle of Praza do Obradoiro and stare at the cathedral’s “gigantuous” facade while thinking about what we had done! And I couldn’t stop thinking I’d wanted to keep walking all the way to the coast, to Muxia. Throughout last week I picked some shots for each day, but also shared lots of fragments on Instagram Stories. If you missed some, or want to see all of them again, I grouped all my Camino stories here: www.instagram.com/stories/h… #camino #caminodesantiago

Day Seven. The last day brought us the smell of wet soil at dawn. You really can’t do the Camino without getting wet, and rain was a companion for most of the path. But, as if in a book, a glorious sunshine was waiting at Compostela! #camino #caminodesantiago#spain #galicia
<h1></h1>
Day Six. Almost there! I can almost smell the Padrón peppers. And Compostela is getting closer also.#camino #caminodesantiago#spain #galicia
<h1></h1>
Day Five. A nice stroll through the galician countryside, with a even nicer place to soak the feet afterwards.#camino #caminodesantiago #spain #galicia
<h1></h1>
Day Four. Alternating between idyllic, dreamy forests and industrial areas that come out of nowhere, with suburban Galicia in between… #camino #caminodesantiago #spain #galicia
<h1></h1>
Day Three. First day start in Galicia, Tui at dawn is charming as in any other hour of the day. The path heads north and so do we. #camino #caminodesantiago #spain #galicia #fujixe3 #vsco
<h1></h1>
Day Two. There’s only way to get to Spain, and it’s all the way down, to find a river and almost the same country on the other side. Benvindo a Galicia!! PS: the elder (French) man that appeared in my very first post has been walking the same steps as I do, see if you spot him 😉#camino #caminodesantiago #portugal #minho #spain #galicia

Day one. The well marked path that always lead you to free Wi-Fi and a climb up the Labruja steep slope. #camino #caminodesantiago #portugal #minho #fujixe3 #vsco
This week, while walking the Camino de Santiago, it’s all about the weight: I’ll be carrying all my stuff, between clothes, gear and some snacks. So when I was packing able to keep the total weight of my bag below 7 kg, and for that I needed to keep my gear minimal. This is all all be carrying (besides batteries and cards):- Fuji X-E3, my lightest body- XF 18mm and XF 27mm, my lightest lenses

Right now I’m at Ponte de Lima, in Northern Portugal, a charming village in the Portuguese Saint James path (Camino de Santiago). In the next week I’ll be walking the 150 km between me and Santiago de Compostela. I’m hoping to be able to share some of my progress right here, stay tuned to my Stories!

Walking again the paths of transhumance. Long gone are the days where the herds would be moved this way between winter and summer pastures, progress made it obsolete. Nowadays is a memory and a tourist attraction. #portugal #beirabaixa #gardunha #transhumance
<h1></h1>
Every end of summer the herds passed through the streets of Alpedrinha, moving from summer to winter pastures. Nowadays that’s remembered and celebrated in the closed streets of the small village. #transhumance #chocalhos #alpedrinha #beirabaixa #Portugal

Later this month I’ll be walking 150km of the Camino de Santiago, this Portuguese Way to be more accurate. That meant that in the last few weeks I’ve done some walking to get myself fit for it, a lot of walking actually. Despite carrying some geary on those, after all I need to practice with a full back pack, photos haven’t been a priority in those walks. That doesn’t mean I won’t stop if I find interesting stuff along the way!
A long time I showed Luís how mirrorless cameras are great for mounting vintage lenses, now he’s one of the biggest addicts of mounting strange glass that I know, and just put his experience into a lengthy post! Vintage lenses: perfect imperfection
