Surfing

They say the beaches around Ericeira, about 40 km North of Lisbon, are some of the best in Europe for surfing. All throughout the year, one can find the "surf crowd" around the area, creating a relaxed and vacation-like atmosphere. I often ask myself what these people do for a living... Surfing, I suppose.

These photos were taken late December 2008. The weather was grisly and cold pretty much all around except for this beach, where a little sunshine turned it into an oasis of warmth.
