Hi 👋

The boardwalks at Praia do Aterro in Leça da Palmeira have always been a special place for me. In this post, I want to share what made that simple stroll feel so meaningful, as if summer had paid us one last visit before the year end.

This past weekend, I went to walking along the boardwalks at Praia do Aterro in Leça da Palmeira. Although its November, a time of year when chilly winds and gray skies are the norm, the day felt like it had been borrowed from summer. The sun was shining brightly, the air was warm and gentle, and the ocean seemed to be celebrating the unseasonal weather just as much as I was.

No passado fim de semana fui passear pelos passadiços da Praia do Aterro em Leça da Palmeira. Embora estejamos em novembro, uma altura do ano em que os ventos frios e os céus cinzentos são a norma, o dia parecia ter sido emprestado do verão. O sol brilhava intensamente, o ar estava quente e suave e o oceano parecia estar a celebrar o tempo fora de estação tanto quanto eu.

It's always a treat when the weather defies expectations. Halfway through November, I had resigned myself to thick coats and brisk winds. But that morning, as I stepped outside, I was greeted by the kind of day that begged for sandals, sunglasses, and a leisurely stroll. The temperature was astonishingly mild for the season just warm enough to be comfortable, with a light breeze carrying the scent of the sea.

É sempre um prazer quando o tempo desafia as expectativas. Em meados de novembro, resignei-me a casacos grossos e ventos fortes. Mas nessa manhã, ao sair, fui recebido por um dia que pedia sandálias, óculos de sol e um passeio tranquilo. A temperatura era surpreendentemente amena para a estação, quente o suficiente para ser confortável, com uma ligeira brisa a trazer o perfume do mar.

It was one of those days where the sky was an unbroken expanse of blue. The kind of blue that feels infinite, drawing your eyes upward and filling your chest with a sense of lightness. The sunlight was golden, soft yet vibrant, casting a glow on everything it touched.

Foi um daqueles dias em que o céu era uma extensão ininterrupta de azul. O tipo de azul que parece infinito, atraindo os olhos para cima e enchendo o peito com uma sensação de leveza. A luz do sol era dourada, suave, mas vibrante, lançando um brilho sobre tudo o que tocava.

The boardwalk stretched out before me, winding its way along the dunes and the shore. It was inviting, like a path leading not just to the beach but to a moment of peace and clarity.

O passadiço estendia-se diante de mim, serpenteando ao longo das dunas e da costa. Era convidativo, como um caminho que levava não só à praia, mas a um momento de paz e clareza.

The boardwalk at Praia do Aterro is a masterpiece of simplicity. It weaves through the natural landscape with a grace that feels effortless, allowing visitors to explore the beach without disturbing its fragile ecosystem. The dunes on either side are protected, their wild grasses swaying gently in the breeze, creating a buffer between the ocean and the urban world beyond.

O passadiço da Praia do Aterro é uma obra-prima de simplicidade. Tece a paisagem natural com uma graciosidade que parece fácil, permitindo aos visitantes explorar a praia sem perturbar o seu frágil ecossistema. As dunas de ambos os lados estão protegidas, e as suas ervas selvagens balançam suavemente com a brisa, criando uma barreira entre o oceano e o mundo urbano que se encontra mais além.

Walking along the boardwalk, I passed a few others who were also enjoying the morning. There were joggers, their rhythmic footsteps echoing softly on the wooden planks, and dog walkers whose furry companions seemed just as delighted by the day as their owners. There were even a few fellow solo wanderers, like me!

Percorrendo o calçadão, passei por alguns outros que também aproveitavam a manhã. Havia corredores, os seus passos rítmicos ecoando suavemente nas tábuas de madeira, e passeadores de cães cujos companheiros peludos pareciam tão encantados com o dia como os seus donos. Havia até alguns companheiros andarilhos solitários, como eu!

As I continued my walk, I thought about how often we underestimate the power of nature to heal and rejuvenate us. A walk on the beach isn't just about exercise or fresh air its about reconnecting with something larger than ourselves.

Ao continuar a minha caminhada, pensei em quantas vezes subestimámos o poder da natureza para nos curar e rejuvenescer. Um passeio na praia não é apenas uma questão de exercício ou ar fresco, é uma questão de nos reconectarmos com algo maior do que nós próprios.

The ocean, with its vastness and its unending rhythm, has a way of putting things into perspective. It reminds us of how small we are, and yet how connected we are to the world around us.

PT - Português 🇵🇹

O oceano, com a sua vastidão e o seu ritmo interminável, consegue colocar as coisas em perspetiva. Lembra-nos de quão pequenos somos e, ainda assim, de como estamos ligados ao mundo que nos rodeia.
