Returning to a Summer where a pandemic made me slow down.

Fire as a central element of the Entrudo dos Máscaros de Vila Boa.

The pagan tradtions in Trás-Os-Montes also take place in the Mirandese Plateau, and there New Year Day is the key date, but here the masks aren't as common.

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.

A visual diary of my days, or weeks, under the Covid-19 confinement.

Remembering the first time I drove to the North of Portugal to shoot the Winter Solstice celebrations.
