THE BEACH THAT STUCK IN MY MIND AND HEART

There are places on the map of Europe that just stay with you forever. For me, Portugal is absolutely one of them. 🇵🇹
I don’t know if it’s the sun, the ocean breeze, the pastel de nata... or simply the unique atmosphere that seeps into your skin — but I have a deep, deep fondness for this country. Every time I get close to the Portuguese border, I swear my heart starts beating faster.

This summer I got lucky — I had a delivery just a few minutes from the ocean. And so I ended up spending three full days by Praia do Aterro. A beach that may not be the most famous, but it sure knows how to win people over.

Swimming? Not a chance — the water temperature was basically penguin-approved 🥶 and nearly froze my legs off. But hey — instead of diving in, I picked up my camera. And that turned out to be the best decision.
