When I look back it has been a really, really long time since I spent more then two weeks in Portugal over summer time. I’m usually out of the country either for yachting or kitesurfing during summer time, but this time around I end up staying and enjoying the country where I grew up. I could say its because my nephews, the good winds, hot weather, great food, awesome culture, beautiful woman or I was home sick.
The truth is I almost forgot how good this little corner of Europe is and this year was specially good as Éolo the wind god has been generous and for my surprise I was able to stay longer do to kitesurfing students that I had the chance to teach and introduce to this amazing sport.
I had friends visiting from over seas and hang out wth local people that I have not seen in years. One thing I did not forgot was the water temperature that still freezing but still I mange to spend most of the summer without a wetsuit 🙂
I travelled the country from North to South but unfortunately during that period the wind was not good for kiting but I manage to score some waves and found a cable park that made for it.
Im still in Portugal and will stay here for a few weeks till I fly out to visit my Italian brothers based in Sicily that I miss big time.
