Sónia Luz – What I’m doing is pure craziness in the eyes of others I’m entering the salon, Sónia is already waiting for me. A broad, warm smile is mixed with a little uncertainty. After all, today she is about to tell me about her dream. A dream born out of the need of the heart which saw the light
Grape harvest, vineyards and wine – discovering paradise in Biscoitos A few days ago I went to the grape harvest for the first time in my life. Thus, I fulfilled my dream from several years ago.

I usually yawn at 23:00 and that night I was sitting at the game until 2am, and my friends finished the tournament at 5am. Yes, you are thinking right – marralhinha draws in.
