Tras pasar por Córdoba fuimos a descansar dos semanas al sur de Portugal. La famlília de Miguel tiene una casita en el campo heredada de sus antepasados, rodeada de campos de olivos y con un pequeño terreno donde crecen higos, naranjas, almendras y limones.
Sin internet ni televisión, hemos pasado los días bañandonos en las diferentes playas y calas de la zona, comiendo a dos carrillos y visitando a familiares y gente nueva.
Conocer gente, lugares y vivir sin obligaciones podría ser el mejor plan de vida... no queríamos que acabara. Como los buenos libros o una película interesante, te despides del lugar con un hueco en el corazón, sin ganas de que termine, pero al mismo tiempo tranquilizandote diciendo que siempre puedes volver el año que viene. Siempre puedes volver a ver la película, leer el libro.
Las playas del Algarve tienen la arena gruesa y el agua fresca. El oceano te saluda al sumergirte en él, caminas entre senderos de arena y desfiladeros para llegar a las calas, para descansar en las bahías de arena. El aire es ligero y seco y huele a brasa de asar sardinas. En el campo hay hormigas, avispas y gatitos listos. Higos maduros y granizado de limón. Sus gentes son hospitalarias y te hablan mirándote a los ojos, dándote la mano o un abrazo. Un pequeño paraíso en la Península.
After visiting Cordoba we took a two week vacation in the south of Portugal. Miguel's family owns an inherited cottage, it is
surrounded by olive trees and fields and a small piece of land where they grow figgy, oranges, almonds and lemons.
There is no internet or TV, we spent the days swimming in the beaches of the area, eating and visiting relatives and new people.
Meeting people and places, without obligations could be a nice life plan... we absolutely didn't want it to end.
As with good interesting books or movies, you say goodbye with a hole in the heart, you wish it wouldn't end, but at the same time there is some ease when you
think you can always come back. You can always see the movie again or read the book.
Algarve beaches have cool water and big grains of sand. The ocean greets you as you dive in, you walk on trails and cliffs to get to the small beaches
where you can rest in the sandy bays. The air is light and dry and there is the smell of burning coal and sardines.
In the field there are ants, wasps and smart kittens, figs and icy lemon. People are hospitable and look you in the eyes when they talk to you,
they give you strong handshakes and hugs.
A little paradise on the Peninsula.
