Putting on red masks and red robes. Running down the village’s streets, eating, drinking, doing pranks. #portugal #grijodeparada #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask #careto
Two unavoidable things during these days: a table set with food and drinks, and plenty of people around it! #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask #mascaro
Thinking about what tricks to play next?Despite being the day after Christmas (there’s no such thing as Boxing Day here) that tree feels really out of place there.#portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask #mascaro
Putting the mask back on after a small break close to the end of the day, during the last winter solstice festivities at Ousilhão. Despite being a cold day it gets hot behind a wooden mask and under some heavy robes. #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask
One of those things that makes your day, Fugas compiled a list of ten travelers on Instagram to follow, and added me along a few great Portuguese photographers. A big, big thank you! Dez viajantes portugueses que queremos seguir (até ao fim do mundo)
A throwback to last month: me as I was about to start my Cuba talk on the NG Exodus Aveiro Fest. And this year I’ll surely be in that audience, getting inspired by more great photogorahers and travelers.(Huge thanks to Aníbal Marques for taking the shot) #tbt #ngexodusaveirofest #ngeaf #aveiro #portugal #festival #adventure #travel #photography #discover #explore
Only now I feel the new year is starting, on the January 1st I was still far too busy. Only now I have time to breathe and look back to my algorithm generated best nine of the year, a neat overview of my last 12 months, where only the Camino de Santiago is missing, and only one actually not from this year: the one with Miriam talking to her granddaughter at Havana.Hope 2019 brings even more cool stuff!!—-Só agora começo a sentir que o ano está a começar, no dia 1 ainda estava demasiado atarefado. Só agora tenho tempo para respirar e olhar para as minhas melhores nove melhores do ano (geradas segundo um algoritmo), um bom apanhado dos meus últimos 12 meses, onde só falta algo do Caminho de Santiago, e onde há apenas uma foto que não foi tirada este ano: aquela com Miriam a falar com a neta em Havana.Espero que 2019 traga coisas ainda mais fixes!!! #bestnine2018 #portugal #beirabaixa #beiraalta #lisboa #trasosmontes #hongkong
Every New Year’s day Good and Evil face each other in the streets of the small village of Tó. The dark faced Farandulo tries to reach the immaculate Sécia, having only a young boy to separate them.#portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #farandulo #farandulodetó
New year’s day is filled with activity, and the problem is picking one. The Chocalheiro of Bemposta is definitely the winter festivity with the fastest pace, with the chocalheiro literally running through the village’s houses to wish a good year and gather their offering. #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #mask #chocalheiro #chocalheirodebemposta
Today was the day to return to one of the most beautiful places of Portugal: the cliffs of Douro, with its waters flowing below and birds of prey soaring above.#nature #landscape #dourointernacional #mirandadodouro #trasosmontes #portugal
