EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 1960s in the charming Portuguese fishing village of Cascais. This evocative photograph captures the picturesque harbor, teeming with an abundance of boats of various sizes and shapes. The quaint wooden structures of the fishermen's huts line the waterfront, adding to the rustic charm of this idyllic scene. Nestled on the Atlantic coast, Cascais was once a favored summer retreat for the European aristocracy and royalty. The arrival of the railway in the late 19th century made it easily accessible from Lisbon, leading to its transformation into a popular seaside resort. This photograph showcases the vibrant maritime culture of Cascais during a simpler time. The boats, some with colorful sails, are a testament to the village's rich fishing heritage. The calm waters reflect the clear blue sky, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The hustle and bustle of daily life is evident in the photograph, with fishermen busy mending their nets and preparing their catches for sale. The scene is a reminder of the close-knit community that thrived around the harbor, where the sea provided sustenance and livelihood for generations. This photograph is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories of the people and place it captures. The enduring charm of Cascais and its harbor continues to draw visitors from around the world, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of Portugal's rich history and culture.
