Town of the Count


I live near Vila do Conde, "Count´s town". It´s a beautiful, quiet little town by the sea in Northern Portugal. Historical with the old "aqueduto" and old buildings, and an old pillory in front of the City Hall. It´s venue for my next book, so as soon as I could with the Corona and stuff, I went over there to take some photos. I hope they inspire the cover designer.

As soon as I had got off the metro and was setting up my camera by the aqueduto, a man with a big mustache started talking to me, asking where I´m from and telling me about himself. That´s one of the best things in Portugal: even strangers talk to you. Well, it helps if you speak Portuguese, of course.
