Zambujeira do Mar

Return to the place where silence and serenity express themselves louder than anyone who dares to contradict them.

To return to the living, shining mantle that rises and illuminates at the top, while we, the creatures of the world, perplexed, allow ourselves to be consumed by the magic of the Vincentian sky!

I'm afraid nothing can compare to the breathless beauty of the great sands, carefully embraced by the most hospitable cliffs, to the rough but always docile rocking of a sea that never sleeps.

To the vitality that each beach encompasses: the anemones, the crabs, the whelks, the limpets - and don't count them out, but that's where the Sea Girl hides.

I never forget the palette of colors that this beloved town can take on, an ephemeral resident in the memory of those who end up there by sheer luck. Luck or Fado?

I'm lucky enough to drink the kindness served to me in every glass of medronho.

My fate, because on those trails I got lost and found myself...

Bad luck for those who never returned, or for those who never dared to arrive...

But here...I return home without ever having left.
