Portugal | Kleurrijke ontdekkingstocht Costa Nova en Amarante

Dinsdag, 4 september 2012 | Op de voorlaatste dag van mijn vakantie in Portugal besloot ik een avontuurlijke route te nemen van Figueira da Foz naar Porto. Deze reisdag zou me langs enkele van de meest pittoreske locaties van het land voeren, waaronder het charmante vissersdorpje Costa Nova en het historische stadje Amarante. Wat begon als een simpele terugreis naar de luchthaven, ontpopte zich…

Morning in Costa Nova

After a quick bus ride to the coast, you will find yourself surrounded by candy-stripped houses. For those who are on the hunt for the perfect selfie, look no further. For those who are slightly more grounded, take into consideration that every home owner in Costa Nova has to repaint their stripes every year for people to get their perfect selfie. Every. Single. Year.

However, that's not how my Costa Nova experience started. Oh, no. At the last possible second, I opted to try out my itinerary backwards. And let me tell you, had I done my itinerary forwards as planned, I wouldn't have done all of it.

I had timed out how long it should take me to walk from Costa Nova up to the lighthouse in Barra, but there was one tiny detail that I was forgetting as I dashed off the bus: the amount of time you have is less than originally planned.

I was going to come to Costa Nova after dropping bags at the hostel. Since I couldn't drop bags, I had to push the trip to the following morning before checking out of my hostel. TIME. CRUNCH. Jen. Whatcha doing strolling along the beach?

It did not take long for me to go, oh, you messed this up. DOUBLE TIME. It wasn't just my checkout time at the hostel that I was crunching. I had an expensive tile painting workshop deadline to get myself to up in Porto. I also still needed to buy ovos moles and locate a pot holder (Nazaré had all sorts of table cloths, towels, and pot holders around town, and I hadn't been able to decide if I required one or not. There was one fabric that I couldn't get out of my head though, and I had seen it in shops as I walked around Aveiro. While I am outstandingly good at killing potholders (frequently, death by charring), they were also the smallest option to get a bit of the fabric home.)

After my expected 40min of walking (just like I'd timed out, written in OneNote, and should really have looked at prior to dashing off the bus), I finally made it to Costa Nova and the beautiful striped houses. I was early. Streets were empty. This was working out quite well -- even with that 40min walk that maybe I could have done without. (PS, that's almost 3km. DON'T GET OFF BUSES WITHOUT THINKING!)

Costa Nova is an incredibly cute spot to visit. The streets are adorable, the beach looks amazing. I even managed to locate a free bathroom -- likely just because it had been opened for cleaning and an attendant wasn't there yet. Perks of visiting places prior to 10am when things are actually open.

An additional win from going backwards ended up being the option to grab an express bus back to Aveiro. Had I walked up to Barra as planned, my return would have taken quite a bit longer. So, I guess it was a good idea -- or I just would have not gotten an extra 3km walk in and gotten back to Aveiro even earlier. I'm also quite certain that pushing the visit into the early morning rather than the late afternoon resulted in me enjoying the city more. Only a handful of people were up roaming the streets, making it easy for me to photograph whatever I wanted without people being in my way. Places are just always better early in the morning.

Panel redraw of the gorgeous X-Men Red #11, because this scene lives in my heart. Roberto's need for an emotional support human rocket may have brought them together, but if anything keeps them together (or drives them apart), it will be their matching maladaptive responsibility complexes.

Maria Velho da Costa (1938-2020)

REVOLUÇÃO E MULHERES

Elas fizeram greves de braços caídos. Elas brigaram em casa para ir ao sindicato e à junta. Elas gritaram à vizinha que era fascista. Elas souberam dizer salário igual e creches e cantinas. Elas vieram para a rua de encamado. Elas foram pedir para ali uma estrada de alcatrão e canos de água. Elas gritaram muito. Elas encheram as ruas de cravos. Elas disseram à mãe e à sogra que isso era dantes. Elas trouxeram alento e sopa aos quartéis e à rua. Elas foram para as portas de armas com os filhos ao colo. Elas ouviram falar de uma grande mudança que ia entrar pelas casas. Elas choraram no cais agarradas aos filhos que vinham da guerra. Elas choraram de verem o pai a guerrear com o filho. Elas tiveram medo e foram e não foram. Elas aprenderam a mexer nos livros de contas e nas alfaias das herdades abandonadas. Elas dobraram em quatro um papel que levava dentro urna cruzinha laboriosa. Elas sentaram-se a falar à roda de uma mesa a ver como podia ser sem os patrões. Elas levantaram o braço nas grandes assembleias. Elas costuraram bandeiras e bordaram a fio amarelo pequenas foices e martelos. Elas disseram à mãe, segure-me aqui os cachopos, senhora, que a gente vai de camioneta a Lisboa dizer-lhes como é. Elas vieram dos arrebaldes com o fogão à cabeça ocupar uma parte de casa fechada. Elas estenderam roupa a cantar, com as armas que temos na mão. Elas diziam tu às pessoas com estudos e aos outros homens. Elas iam e não sabiam para aonde, mas que iam. Elas acendem o lume. Elas cortam o pão e aquecem o café esfriado. São elas que acordam pela manhã as bestas, os homens e as crianças adormecidas.

in Cravo (1976)

Considerada uma das grandes vozes renovadoras da literatura portuguesa desde a década de 1960, Maria Velho da Costa foi autora de contos e de teatro, destacando-se sobretudo no romance. Escreve "Novas Cartas Portuguesas" com Maria Isabel Barreno e Maria Teresa Horta - tratado sobre os direitos das mulheres em Portugal - e que lhes valeria um processo judicial, suspenso depois da revolução de 25 de Abril de 1974.
