My village is in the region of Trás-os-montes in Portugal. In English it means between mountains. It is a fascinating region, very archaic, full of personality.
Modest houses, rustic, unheated, in a region where the cold is felt, apparently poor people who lived mostly from agriculture and livestock but who were happy. It was a region full of personality, some villages are still untouched by technology and progress.
There is portrayed a people without masks, far from the materialism of today, with their hands marked by the work, but joyful, to overflow with the most infinite humility.
Today Trás-os-Montes has almost all schools closed, ghost villages, abandoned fields and an aging population. Never before now have the marks of human desertification been so clear in Trás-os-Montes. The region continues to lose people at a rampant pace.

I had the opportunity to live in Portalegre for 6 months and these pics just gave me a huge dosis of saudade. Portugal is an amazing country <3
Of the dozens & dozens of countries my parents visited, Portugal, was their favorite !
Hello Nancy; Portugal is a fantastic country. With multiple faces. There is the Algarve which is beach and sun, there is the coastline of Lisbon with spectacular monuments. And there is deep, rural interior Portugal, full of personality, but unfortunately is little explored and forgotten by the rulers.
