De Minho, Festas de S. Bartolomeu 2008 |
And so I went to the north of the country, (re)discovering enchanted places during a period of festivity and colour. August is the month of "romarias" and religious festivities that give a unique colour and happiness. It is also the season that receives the emigrants that come to their homelands for a while, "killing" the feeling of nostalgia or the even-deeper Portuguese "saudade". And so I went to "kill" that deep feeling in spite of not being born there. It's almost like my borrowed homeland since it brings me many good memories each time I go there. My northern side is not ignored and so I went into the spirit, trying to dance clumsily the "vira" or singing in a "rusga" (Later I will explain what that is.)
