Berlenga Island Flashback
The Berlengas Island seen through the eyes of Portugal Photo Tours.
The soundtrack is from Dulce Pontes – “Canção do Mar”, meaning in portuguese Song of the Sea.
Berlenga Island – 280 million history!
The Berlengas archipelago is a real geological monument, important record of Earth’s history and formation of continents and oceans.
In the Berlengas Islands arise magmatic and metamorphic rocks, pretty red deformed granites , gneisses and schist that it is thought that have been formed about 280 million years ago during the formation of a major mountain. Later, Berlenga Islands were affected by the movements that led to the fragmentation of Pangaea.

Praia da Gralha – The beach definition!
I’ve been on this beach a few times but I like to go there. The sea at this location is especially dangerous with a turbulent waters and it is very rare to see people bathe in these waters. “Praia da Gralha” means in portuguese, Jackdaw beach and it does not have any support infrastructures.
Less than 1 km from S. Martinho do Porto, this beach has an extensive shell shaped sandy shore, surrounded by cliffs, which gives it its natural beauty.

Óbidos – The Medieval Market
I said in my previous post that I would do a video about Óbidos, and so I did. About this village there is much to say and so, in my previous post I ended up not saying that beyond the Medieval Market of Óbidos, also occurs at this location every year the Chocolate Festival.
Every year over 200 thousand visitors come to Óbidos for the sole purpose of enjoying of the world’s most popular element.
In my personal opinion, I think Óbidos is an example of what is good management. This type of event has boosted tourism in this location very significantly in the last years.
Focusing on the medieval market again, one thing a person can do in the medieval market, is instead of paying admission and visit the reserved part of the Medieval Market, any of us can participate. We rent medieval clothes and the payment of such clothing allows free entry in the reserved area of the market.
It is certainly a unique way to participate in the great celebration that is the Medieval Market.
To allow you an idea, here is a small video.
Enjoy.
