Visit Portugal - Geodesic Landmark of São Paio in Labruge
Hi 👋
There's something special about autumn mornings by the coast, especially when the air is crisp, and the sky is softly overcast. On one such morning, I set out on my usual walk, heading towards the Geodesic Landmark of São Paio in Labruge.
The crisp autumn air greeted me early this morning, as is my routine for walks these days. There's something about the calm of the early hours that sets of the day, especially when it involves nature and the ocean. Today, I decided to explore a familiar route, the Geodesic landmark of São Paio in Labruge. This has become one of my favourite places, not just for the destination but for the journey itself.

O ar fresco do outono cumprimentou-me esta manhã, assim como a minha rotina de caminhadas atualmente. Há algo na calma das primeiras horas que marca o dia, sobretudo quando envolve a natureza e o oceano. Hoje decidi explorar um percurso familiar, o Marco Geodésico de São Paio em Labruge. Este tornou-se um dos meus locais favoritos, não só pelo destino, mas pela viagem em si.
As I left my home, I noticed the skies were more overcast than usual. The clouds hung low, casting a grayish tint over everything, making the morning feel a bit darker and more mysterious. There was no sign of rain, but the air had that dampness that you often get during autumn. The cooler temperatures were a reminder that summer was behind us, yet there was still a hint of warmth from the previous months lingering in the atmosphere.

Ao sair de casa, verifiquei que o céu estava mais nublado do que o habitual. As nuvens estavam baixas, lançando um tom acinzentado sobre tudo, tornando a manhã um pouco mais escura e misteriosa. Não havia sinal de chuva, mas o ar estava com aquela humidade que costumamos sentir no outono. As temperaturas mais amenas foram um lembrete de que o verão tinha ficado para trás, mas ainda havia um toque de calor dos meses anteriores na atmosfera.
Autumn days like this are perfect for walks. They have a way of calming the mind and allowing you to take in the subtle changes happening all around. The leaves have started to turn, and there's a freshness to the air that feels both invigorating and peaceful at the same time. Today, though the main attraction was the ocean and the view I knew awaited me as I headed toward the coastline.

Dias de outono como este são perfeitos para caminhadas. Têm uma forma de acalmar a mente e permitir que absorva as mudanças subtis que acontecem ao seu redor. As folhas começaram a virar e há uma frescura no ar que é ao mesmo tempo revigorante e tranquila. Hoje, porém, a principal atração era o oceano e a vista que eu conhecia aguardava-me enquanto me dirigia para a costa.
The Atlantic Ocean is always a sight to behold, but there's something magical about it in autumn. As I approached the first glimpse of the sea, I noticed the deep blues of the water were muted by the overcast sky. The waves crashed gently against the shore, creating a rhythm that echoed in the stillness of the morning. The sea seemed darker than usual, its surface reflecting the heavy clouds above.

O Oceano Atlântico é sempre um espetáculo para ser visto, mas há algo de mágico nele no outono. Ao aproximar-me do primeiro vislumbre do mar, percebi que o azul profundo da água era silenciado pelo céu nublado. As ondas batiam suavemente na costa, criando um ritmo que ecoava na quietude da manhã. O mar parecia mais escuro do que o normal, a sua superfície refletia as nuvens pesadas lá em cima.
I took a moment to stand still and simply watch the waves roll in, feeling a sense of calm wash over me. There's something profoundly grounding about being near the ocean, especially on days like this. The vastness of the water and the endless horizon make you feel both small and connected to something much larger.

Parei por um momento para ficar quieto e simplesmente observar as ondas a rolar, sentindo uma sensação de calma a apoderar-se de mim. Há algo de profundamente fundamentado em estar perto do oceano, especialmente em dias como este. A vastidão da água e o horizonte interminável fazem-nos sentir pequenos e ligados a algo muito maior.
Labruge beach, like many coastal areas in autumn, feels completely different during these months. The sands are mostly empty, the once vibrant beach umbrellas and sun beds have been packed away and the only sounds are those of nature, the wind, the waves and the occasional seagull calling out overhead. It's a peaceful retreat from the often noisy and crowded summer days.

A praia de Labruge, como muitas zonas costeiras no outono, parece completamente diferente durante estes meses. As areias estão quase todas vazias, os outrora vibrantes guarda-sóis e espreguiçadeiras foram guardados e os únicos sons são os da natureza, do vento, das ondas e da ocasional gaivota a chamar por cima. É um retiro tranquilo dos dias de verão muitas vezes barulhentos e cheios de gente.
One of the highlights of this particular walk is the stretch of wooden pathways or passadiços, that line the beach. These walkways provide an easy, scenic route along the coast and are perfect for a morning stroll, whether you're alone or with company. Today, the wood felt cool underfoot, slightly damp from the misty air but still sturdy as ever.

Um dos pontos altos deste passeio privado é o troço de caminhos de madeira, ou passadiços, que ladeiam a praia. Estas passarelas proporcionam um percurso fácil e panorâmico ao longo da costa e são perfeitas para um passeio matinal, sozinho ou acompanhado. Hoje, a madeira estava fria debaixo dos pés, ligeiramente húmida por causa do ar enevoado, mas ainda resistente como sempre.
The walkways are a fantastic way to experience the coastline without disturbing the natural landscape. I love the way they meander along the dunes, giving you a view of both the beach and the ocean on one side and the rolling hills and greenery on the other. In autumn, these paths are even more special. The grasses and shrubs along the dunes have started to change color, offering a beautiful contrast to the gray skies and dark ocean beyond.

Os passadiços são uma forma fantástica de conhecer a costa sem perturbar a paisagem natural. Adoro a forma como serpenteiam pelas dunas, proporcionando uma vista da praia e do oceano de um lado, e das colinas e da vegetação do outro. No outono, estes caminhos são ainda mais especiais. As gramíneas e os arbustos ao longo das dunas começaram a mudar de cor, oferecendo um belo contraste com o céu cinzento e o oceano escuro mais além.
The Geodesic Landmark itself is a simple stone structure, but it holds a special significance. Not only does it mark a point of geographical importance, but it also feels like a reward for the journey, reaching the top gives you a sense of accomplishment, and the views from up there are incredible.
The cloudy day added a layer of drama to the scene. The dark clouds hovered above the horizon, while the sunlight hidden for most of the morning, occasionally peeked through, casting soft, diffused light over the landscape. It was one of those moments where you feel truly connected to nature, standing in awe of the world around you.

O próprio Marco Geodésico é uma estrutura de pedra simples, mas tem um significado especial. Não só marca um ponto de importância geográfica, como também parece uma recompensa pela viagem, chegar ao topo dá uma sensação de dever cumprido e as vistas lá de cima são incríveis.
O dia nublado acrescentou uma camada de dramatismo à cena. As nuvens escuras pairavam acima do horizonte, enquanto a luz do sol, escondida durante a maior parte da manhã, aparecia ocasionalmente, lançando uma luz suave e difusa sobre a paisagem. Foi um daqueles momentos em que se sente verdadeiramente ligado à natureza, admirando o mundo que nos rodeia.
