Father and son, both wearing the “máscaro” red-hooded costumes, lighting the fire set in the middle of the square of Vila Boa, surrounded by the remaining people, while the remaining masked “máscaros” wait for the flames to rise.Vila Boa, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, January 2020 #portugal #trasosmontes #entrudo #shrovetidehttps://photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/image/I0000Stc.SzvMdrg
That magical moment when the last rays of sunshine only light the trees and the stone walls that surround the pastures in the Mirandese plateau. Miranda do Douro, Portugal 🇵🇹, December 2018 #portugal #trasosmontes photos.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/image/I00…
The “Velha” (Old Woman) character carries a burned cork cross, meant to smudge all those who don’t give a small offering. This is one of the festivities of the Mirandese Plataeu from my latest blog post.

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
Snowy mornings like this could make someone feel like they’re not in the southwest corner of Europe. As a friend of mined named it once: “our little big north”… Bragança, Trás-Os-Montes, Portugal 🇵🇹, February 2018 #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.
