With the long summer evenings there was plenty of time to watch the fun develop. Tavira Day 2019 was a huge success!
The display of fireworks was spectacular! And Rui Veloso held the crowd in the palm of his hands as they crooned along with him. Debbie is celebrating Summer too, over at Six Word Saturday. Why not join her? And have a great weekend!
The salt pans in summer fascinate. I will mostly be posting Azores in the coming weeks, but I can’t ignore the crystalline beauty on my doorstep.
It’s party time here in the Algarve. On Monday, 24th June, it will be Tavira Day and a celebration of Sáo Joáo. There are paper flowers everywhere, and music and fireworks will fill the air. I’ll be joining in, of course. Have a great weekend! But don’t forget to play with words at Debbie’s!
See the cone shape in the background? That’s Pico, a volcanic island with the highest mountain in Portugal. We could see it from our bedroom.
Hard to say which was my favourite island. Probably Pico or Sáo Jorge, but we had another great bedroom view from Horta, on Faial.
Just the tip of the iceberg. Come to think of it, that’s a great Six Words! (or maybe, the volcano?) The captions will help. Happy Saturday!
It was a great week, in excellent company. ‘We’ve been so many places, I can’t remember the names!’ The first was Fuseta. Click on the photos for a clue. And then pop over to Debbie with six words. She loves photos! Happy Saturday everybody…
An emotional day in Loulé, last Sunday, celebrating the festival of Mae Soberana.
For 15 years I’ve wanted to be a part of this ceremony. The captions tell part of the story, but it’s a memory I hope will stay with me forever.
Impossible to share in Six Words, but I tried. Viva Mãe Soberana! Wishing you all a peaceful weekend.
I don’t spend all of my life zipping about the place, though it may sometimes seem that way. Thanks for your interest in the flash mob. It was a wonderful experience and we hope to have a video on YouTube, after editing. Now I’m going for a cuppa with Debbie on Six Word Saturday. Have a great weekend!
I can’t say it hasn’t been a busy week! Celebrating life at Easter was full of magical moments. And this weekend, Mostra da Primavera, a show celebrating Spring, with music, dance and good food. Last night we experienced spectacular Fado, by the riverside in the Mercado.
Today? Well, it’s World T’ai Chi Day, and at 10.00 this morning I will be taking part in a Flash Mob in Tavira town centre. Wish me luck! Sorry, Debbie- I couldn’t say all that in six words. I’m not ‘up to scratch’. 🙂 Happy Saturday, one and all!
You can walk off the calories later! I love beautiful presentation and that raspberry really spoke to me. Just a mouthful 🙂 Happy Easter! And don’t forget to visit Debbie with six words.
It’s getting perilously close to the end of March, and you know what that means? No more Spiky Squares 😦 (and Becky can have a rest 🙂 ). The good news is, Six Word Saturday continues. Yabba Dabba Doo! Have a great weekend!
‘Some are Spiky, some are not’. 🙂 Share Six Words with Debbie, and don’t forget to find a Spiky Square or two for Becky. Have a great weekend!
