Volta ao Algarve!

Last sunday: a normal day of work for Nuno, but in the same place, same event that meant much more to Martyna. Tour of Algarve reached its end and it had a polish winner. Michal Kwiatkowski, beated Alberto Contador and portuguese World Champion Rui Costa after last year he finished second in this race. To add to final victory, he won two of the four stages: one in Monchique and also the time trial. Because in the last day it was predictable that he would be in the highest place of the podium, Martyna didn't want to lose the oportunity of meeting the polish champion, and she could.

She went to Vilamoura by bus to take a picture with Kwiatkowski. For most of the people, a autograph would be great, and she got it in Poland scarf because Nuno, after interviewing the winner, asked him to sign it. But the picture wasn't made, so - needed to add that somehow Martyna entered restricted area unnoticed - after the autographs and the interviews, and just before Michal Kwiatkowski entered the team bus, she could "kidnapped" him for the posterity :)

Praia do Barril by accident.

Imagine a sunny sunday after weeks of rainy and cloudy weather... First thing we thought about: leave the house, and so we did. After lunch we decided to go west, without any specific destination, only the direction was defined in our heads.
In a place like Algarve, is difficult to know all the beaches from Sagres to Vila Real de Santo António but the best places we thought that we knew... Lie...
Before arriving to Tavira, we saw a sign to "Praia do Barril". Nuno heard about it before, but never went there, neither Martyna. "Let's give it a try", we thought, and we stopped there.
First interesting thing: the access. The acess is made by a narrow floating bridge where is not possible to walk aside other person. Bridge crossed and we saw the second interesting thing: a train station with a really funny small train. We thought that in winter it would be deactivated. Wrong. It was working and transporting people through the railroads to the beach. At this point we found out that we would have a quite long walk in Ria Formosa.
After 15 minutes walking, we arrived to the beach, hundreds of meters of sand only with the ocean in the horizon. Looking at one of the maps of the place, we read that there would be somewhere a anchor cementary. We could imagine by the name what it would be, but we didn't knew what to expect. We walked a bit more on the sand and we saw what was it about. Around one hundred anchors on the sand, reminding a cementary. That place was used as a tuna fishermen shelter that now is deactivated. From those boats capturing the tuna migrating from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean sea, only these Anchors stayed.

Zarżnięta świnia.

Ostatni weekend był dla mnie, nie jedzącej mięsa, trudny. Po raz drugi byłam uczestnikiem bardzo ważnego w rodzinie Nuno wydarzenia. Co roku w lutym rodzina zjeżdża się do domu rodzinnego Nuno aby zabić świnię, którą rok wcześniej kupują i potem tuczą.

W sobotę rano cala rodzina już czekała by przyprowadzić świnkę. Bardzo nie chciałam tego widzieć, tym bardziej słyszeć wiec pojechałam do miasta.

Wieczorem kiedy już świnka nie przypominała świnki... postanowiłam udokumentować produkcje "kaszanki - ryżanki" i innych przetworów. 

Przygotowywanie mięsa jest zajęciem całej rodziny, ciocie gotują, wujkowie kroją a wszystkiemu towarzyszy butelka aguardente de medronho oraz melosy- regionalnych alkoholi z Monchique. Na koniec dnia wszyscy siadają do wielkiego stołu by zjeść wspólną kolacje i wypić wino. 

W niedziele rodzina znowu przyjeżdża by kontynuować przygotowywanie mięsa oraz wspólnie grac w karty, jesc i pic :)
