Visit Portugal - Fishermen's Village by the sea
Hi everyone 👋 😃
This morning I took one of my favourite walks down to Portinho de Angeiras, the charming fishermen's village near where I live, and I just had to share how peaceful and beautiful it was.
I love walking early in the morning it's the best time for me. The air is cool and fresh, and there's a sense of calmness that's hard to find at any other time of day. As I stepped outside, I was greeted by the familiar scent of the beach fresh, salty and slightly earthy from the sand. There's nothing quite like breathing in that crisp seaside air to wake you up and start your day off right.

Adoro caminhar de manhã cedo, é a melhor altura para mim. O ar é fresco e há uma sensação de calma que é difícil de encontrar em qualquer outra altura do dia. Ao sair, fui recebido pelo cheiro familiar da praia, fresco, salgado e ligeiramente terroso vindo da areia. Não há nada como respirar o ar fresco do mar para acordar e começar bem o dia.
The village was quiet, with only the sound of waves gently rolling in and the occasional cry of a seagull in the distance. The sun was just beginning to rise, and the sky was a perfect shade of blue with not a single cloud in sight. It was one of those beautiful late summer mornings, where the weather is still warm but with a gentle breeze to keep things comfortable.

A aldeia estava tranquila, apenas com o som das ondas a rolarem suavemente e o grito ocasional de uma gaivota ao longe. O sol começava a nascer e o céu estava num tom perfeito de azul, sem qualquer nuvem à vista. Foi uma daquelas belas manhãs de final de verão, onde o tempo ainda está quente, mas com uma brisa suave para manter o conforto.
During the week, Portinho de Angeiras is buzzing with activity. The fishermen are out early, preparing their boats, fixing their nets and getting ready for the days catch. But since it was the weekend, the village had a different vibe. The fishermen were taking a well deserved break and the usual hustle and bustle was replaced by a quiet calm.

Durante a semana, o Portinho de Angeiras fervilha de atividade. Os pescadores saem cedo, preparando os barcos, reparando as redes e preparando-se para a pesca do dia. Mas como era fim de semana, a aldeia estava com um ambiente diferente. Os pescadores faziam uma pausa merecida e a agitação habitual foi substituída por uma calma tranquila.
As I walked along the sandy beach, I saw the boats resting on the shore. They were colorful, painted in reds, blues and greens, but now they sat quietly on the sand, waiting for the start of a new week. Some were a bit worn from years of use, but that only added to their charm, showing the history and hard work of the people here.

Enquanto caminhava pela praia arenosa, vi os barcos parados na costa. Eram coloridos, pintados de vermelho, azul e verde, mas agora estavam sentados em silêncio na areia, à espera do início de uma nova semana. Alguns estavam um pouco desgastados pelos anos de uso, mas isso só aumentou o seu encanto, mostrando a história e o trabalho árduo das pessoas daqui.
Even though the fishermen weren't out working, you could still see traces of their daily life. Scattered around the beach were stacks of crates, some filled with tangled fishing nets.

Mesmo que os pescadores não estivessem a trabalhar, ainda era possível ver vestígios do seu quotidiano. Espalhadas pela praia estavam pilhas de caixotes, alguns cheios de redes de pesca emaranhadas.
One of the things that always catches my eye when I walk through Portinho de Angeiras is the colorful houses. The homes here are painted in bright shades, yellows, pinks, blues and greens, which stand out beautifully against the backdrop of the beach and the blue sky. These simple houses are full of character and they make the village feel warm and inviting.

Uma das coisas que me chama sempre a atenção quando caminho pelo Portinho de Angeiras são as casas coloridas. As casas aqui são pintadas em tons claros, amarelos, rosas, azuis e verdes, que se destacam lindamente no cenário da praia e do céu azul. Estas casas simples estão cheias de carácter e fazem com que a aldeia seja acolhedora e convidativa.
Each house seems to have its own unique style, and many have small balconies or terraces with plants and flowers, adding even more color to the scene. I love walking through the narrow streets, taking in the sights and sounds of everyday life in the village.

Cada casa parece ter um estilo único, e muitas têm pequenas varandas ou terraços com plantas e flores, dando ainda mais cor ao cenário. Adoro passear pelas ruas estreitas, apreciando as imagens e os sons da vida quotidiana da aldeia.
The fishing gear, left out in the open, tells the story of a community that has lived by the sea for generations. It's hard to imagine how much work goes into fishing until you see the tools up close, and it makes you appreciate just how important this industry is to the area.
PT - Português 🇵🇹
As artes de pesca, deixadas ao relento, contam a história de uma comunidade que vive à beira-mar há gerações. É difícil imaginar quanto trabalho é necessário para a pesca até ver as ferramentas de perto, e isso faz-nos perceber o quão importante esta indústria é para a área.
It's always fascinating to see these everyday objects simple things like ropes, hooks because they’re such an important part of life in this village.

É sempre fascinante ver estes objetos do quotidiano, coisas simples como cordas, ganchos, porque são uma parte muito importante da vida nesta aldeia.
Portinho de Angeiras is also known for its seafood, and you can't visit without trying some of the fresh fish that comes straight from the ocean. There are several small restaurants near the beach and they all serve up local dishes made with the freshest catch of the day. Today, as I walked past them, the smell of grilled fish filled the air, reminding me that lunchtime wasn't far away.

O Portinho de Angeiras é também conhecido pelos seus mariscos e não pode visitar sem experimentar o peixe fresco que vem directamente do oceano. Existem vários pequenos restaurantes perto da praia, e todos servem pratos locais confeccionados com o peixe mais fresco do dia. Hoje, ao passar por eles, o cheiro a peixe grelhado encheu o ar, lembrando-me que a hora do almoço não estava longe.
The seafood here is some of the best you can find grilled sardines, octopus, seafood rice, you name it. Each dish is simple but packed with flavour and it's the kind of food that makes you appreciate living so close to the sea. The fact that the fish is caught just a few meters away from where it's served adds an extra layer of authenticity to the experience.

Os mariscos aqui são dos melhores que pode encontrar: sardinha grelhada, polvo, arroz de marisco, o que quiser. Cada prato é simples mas cheio de sabor, e é o tipo de comida que faz gostar de viver tão perto do mar. O facto de o peixe ser pescado a poucos metros do local onde é servido acrescenta uma camada extra de autenticidade à experiência.
