senhor de matosinhos

June is finally here, and with it comes my favorite time of the year: the city parties. Here in Portugal, it's common for several parts of town to get parties (what Americans call 'state fairs' or so), starting in May and ending in September. One of my favorites happens in one of our suburb cities, Matosinhos.

I love going there. My friends and I make a point of going most every year; it's the joy of eating 'churros' and listening to horrible music, the colors everywhere, the smell of sardines and green peppers in the grill that make everything so vibrant and sweet. It's almost a sensory overload — but not really, because it's so beautiful at the same time.

I tried to capture the best of it for you guys. I hope you like it as much as I did.

Junho já cá está, finalmente, e com ele a minha época do ano preferida: a das festas populares. Aqui em Portugal, já se sabe que é comum haver festas espalhadas por várias partes da cidade, a começar em Maio e a acabar em Setembro. Uma das minha preferidas acontece numa cidade vizinha, Matosinhos. 

Eu adoro ir ao Senhor de Matosinhos. Eu e as minhas amigas fazemos questão de ir (quase) todos os anos; é a alegria de comer churros e farturas, ouvir música horrenda, as cores em todo lado, o cheiro a sardinhas assadas com pimentos que tornam tudo mais vivo. É quase uma overdose visual, mas não, porque é tão bonito ao mesmo tempo. 

Eu tentei capturar o melhor para partilhar convosco. Espero que gostem!
