Festas De Inverno

The pagan New Year traditions in Portugal's Mirandese Plateau

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

The Portuguese village where Carnival is done behind alder wood masks.

Repeating the Carnival plans of previous year, but this time at a slower pace.

Spending again the last few days of the year after the winter solstice traditions of Trás-Os-Montes.
