Sunset At Praia Do Paraíso

By Gail Aguiar @ImageLegacy

After Mother’s Day lunch (and Paulo’s tarte de maça) followed by an afternoon of volunteering that ran later than usual, I wanted the rest of Sunday to look like this: pick up Ice the Dog, go to the beach and watch the sun set. Paulo was on board with this idea, and we made it in time. These are the images that marked the last light of the weekend at Praia do Paraíso (Paradise Beach) in Matosinhos. Plain luck gave me this landscape scene with the fisherman, and I have a portrait version at the end of the post, too, because it is so iconic of Portugal.

If you scroll down past the post, you’ll see other posts of beach sunsets in Portugal — I have many!
