Yesterday was a different day! I leaved Lisbon in the morning, and after a car journey driving north and hour and fourty-five minutes later i arrived to a beautiful place, that i always like to visit... a place called Nazaré.
Enjoying for a whole day this pretty coast village, surrounded at west by the Atlantic Ocean, without forgetting to taste the local gastronomy - the diversity of fish dishes, was a great relaxing activity for the weekend.
This picturesque seaside village, very popular in the summer, has an history behind: the town used to be known by the traditional clothing worn by the fishermen, while their wives worn the traditional headscarf and embroidered aprons over seven flannel skirts in different colours, and also the rowing boats and the fishing nets were associated with the natives practical craft.
I leave you here a lovely music video filmed at Nazaré, by an artist that i enjoy listening, that expose very well the day-to-day routine of the traditional nazarene families - their lives and costumes. It also show us the essential about Nazaré: the fishermen, the sea and it's hard way of life.
"Fisherman" directed by Cristiana Miranda, and soundtracked by the song "The day before the day" by Dido.
