Verão de S. Martinho! Saint Martin´s Summer!

Yesterday pictures from a beach in Alentejo Coast… surf and snorkelling paradise!



In Portugal at this time of the year we usually get some sunny days, known as “Verão (Summer) de S. Martinho (Saint Martin)”, because this saint’s feastday is November 11th and he was known for making the Sun shine in a very cold day after helping a poor and shivering men.
