Lately I’ve been finding hard to find motivation to shoot around Lisbon, this Summer that almost lasted until November certainly extended a touristy mood I was not enjoying. Maybe now that ugly weather is coming, although not yet the ugly weather of the photo, the mood will change.

"Sixteen weekends until Winter Solstice!"

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 13:25:00 +0000

Earlier this week something on Instagram Stories that said: “Sixteen weekends until Christmas!”. I’m not a Christmas person, so my reaction was a thinking “here we go…” while taking a deep breath….

But then…

“Sixteen weekends until Winter Solstice!”

“Máscaro”, not “careto”. Unlike other traditions in the region, at Vila Boa the ghoulish figures are called “máscaros”. Masked and dressed in red, would go as far as dressing in the woods to keep their anonymity (not so much nowadays), jumping the streets and waving their canes throughout the day, until the big pyre is lit at sunset, with the entire village gathered around it.Vila Boa, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, February 2022#portugal #trasosmontes #entrudo #shrovetide #carnaval #carnival #mascaro

Last year when the lock-down ended I went away from the city for a while, to my family’s small village at Beira Baixa.

In the year that this pandemic has completed here in Portugal this was the closest I got from traveling. Excluding the weeks spent in my little getaway in Central Portugal (more on that soon) a lot of my world has been the streets around my house, specially in times like now with a tighter lockdown. The airport happens to be in walking distance from my house, one of the places I end up passing in walks around home, right I think I know all the streets and alleys nearby, and it’s getting more and more complicated to get creative to find new places… Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹, August 2020 #street #lisbon #portugal

The sun as set, and with it the little warmth that it can provide to a cold winter day; slowly people start moving inside, where a hot soup awaits, and the fire will eventually consume everything until it becomes a small pile of ash.

In all the more traditional Carnival festivities in Portugal, and many of the Winter Solstice ones that take place a few weeks earlier, the day ends with everyone surrounding a large fire (either a simple bonfire or even a figure being burned). Its meaning is simple and powerful: the burning of all the bad things enclosed in it, with added dimension from Christianity that a solemn period of moderation and discipline is around the corner.Vila Boa, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, February 2020 #portugal #trasosmontes #entrudo #shrovetide photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/image/I00…

Loose branches, old roots and all the burning stuff that could be found forms the big pile of wood that remains the whole day carnival day in a small plateau, overlooking the church and the houses of the small village, as well as the rolling hills nearby. Not sure if it’s on purpose or a coincidence… It’s at the place where all will come to an end, meant to be lit around dusk, as soon as the chaotic procession of masked men arrives.

Often I hear people I meet in Trás-Os-Montes complaining about fog, that it didn’t use to be like that, that it has to do with this and that, and I nod agreeing with them. But the truth is I pack my bags thinking if that that year I’ll get some of it, hoping that I can find dawns that surround everything like this small shrine was as I was going to have my breakfast.Bragança, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, December 2019 #portugal #trasosmontes

Although placed in a pleasant corner of Europe, not all places in Portugal have a mild winter where British can escape to. Despite a permanent white blanket of snow throughout all season isn’t a thing, in some places temperatures often go below zero. Like at Trás-Os-Montes, in the northeast corner of the country, where these leaves of Pyrenean oak remain frozen by a shadowy corner of the road that hadn’t received the light of the morning sun.

Festa dos Rapazes, or Young Men’s Festival, a winter solstice masked tradition that was “adopted” as Catholic, but with the boundaries of what’s holy and pagan still very clear.

This year, and since all winter festivities have been cancelled due to the pandemic, I spent the days I was meant to be in the North of Portugal looking at previous trips, and trying to put some structure into those photos.
