The end. by Arco-Íris

Posted on 2018-11-18

Trago dentro do meu coração,
Como num cofre que se não pode fechar de cheio,
Todos os lugares onde estive,
Todos os portos a que cheguei,
Todas as paisagens que vi através de janelas ou vigias,
Ou de tombadilhos, sonhando,
E tudo isso, que é tanto, é pouco para o que eu quero.

Entrudo Chocalheiro. The Careto tradition is a pre-historical Celtic religious ritual still practised in some regions of Portugal. It takes place during Carnival and is one of the oldest traditions being practiced in Portugal today.

Caretos are masked young men dressed in suits made of yellow, red, black, blue and green fringe wool quilts, wearing brass, leather or wooden masks and rattles in their belts.

Shrove Tuesday and the prior Sunday are the days when the Caretos are most active.
