Domingo final de tarde.
Levitei, e por instantes percorri esses bosques em estado de encantamento, caminhos de verdes musgos e mil odores, de terra, das ervas,... e do Mar,....
Vítor Estrela Santos.
.... (*) "Segundo a tradição, cuja origem se prende decerto com os prolongados êxtases de S. Pedro de Alcântara, este tinha o dom de LEVITAR, transformando o seu corpo em energia volátil e movendo-se como um pássaro pelos céus...."
.... " É esta santa imagem tão formosa,
que o juízo mil vezes duvidava
Se aquela alma tão pura, que o Céu goza,
Aquele santo corpo ainda animava;
Era tão soberana e tão majestosa,
Que admiração a todos causava,
E olhando para o céu me parecia
Que em êxtase outra vez ao Céu subia." (*)

Bajo el imponente arco del Ponte da Arrábida, diseñando por El Ing.Prof. Edgar Cardoso (Porto 1913-2000), inaugurado en 1963, con su arco de hormigón de 270m de luz y 52m de flecha. Para ver este puente en su "verdadera magnitud" os recomiendo esta bellísima fotografía del gran maestro Tim Boric:
Nudibranchs are a group of sea slugs characterized by having no shell, thus having their gills exposed. The name in latin, nudibranchia means precisely that: nudi (nude, exposed) + branchia (gills).
Instead of the protective shell, the nudibranchs use other intricate defense mechanisms and that's one of the reasons they are such an interesting group to study. Not to mention their exquisite appearance.

Watchtowers and chapel of Convento da Arrábida (Arrábida Monastery), Serra da Arrábida, Portugal.
Arrábida Monastery is a former Franciscan monastery. Today, the monastery belongs to the "Fundação Oriente" (Orient foundation). They organise meetings and seminars dedicated to political, social, scientific, historical and artistic subjects. You also can book rooms in the monastery for your own meetings. The monastery is open for visitors, but you have to make a reservation.
We were able to visit the New Monastery and were allowed to take photos, but we had to promise not to post them on the internet, so I won't do that. I especially liked the many mosaics in the monastery, made of pebbles and stones, shells and broken china.
----quotation from www.foriente.pt----
The Arrábida Monastery was built in the 16th century and consists of the Old Monastery (located on the uppermost part of the hillside), the New Monastery (halfway down), the Garden and the Bom Jesus Shrine, set in the property’s 25 hectares. In addition, there are the adjacent but separate quarters of the Duke of Aveiro and the houses where the pilgrims stayed.
The Old Monastery, which stands at the highest point of the Arrábida hills, consists of four chapels, the series of shrines on the mystery of Christ’s Passion and some cells hewn out of the rocks.
The monastery was founded in 1542 by Friar Martinho de Santa Maria, a Castilian Franciscan who was granted the land by D. João de Lencastre (1501-1571), the first Duke of Aveiro.
The Memória Shrine already existed where the Old Monastery now stands. This was a destination of major pilgrimages and also where the first four Arrábida monks (Martinho de Santa Maria, Diogo de Lisboa, Francisco Pedraita and St. Peter of Alcántara) lived for two years in cells cut into the rocks.
