Atlântico Azul - Paixão pelo Mar

Atlantic Blue. A blog with the scent of the sea breeze and the freshness of the Atlantic Ocean. A place where Dreams are linked to reality, where Happiness is formed like the waves on the Sea, according to the tides and the Moon... ATLÂNTICO AZUL, ONDE O MAR É MAIS LUSITANO. Um blogue com o cheiro da maresia e a frescura do Atlântico. Um espaço em que o sonho se funde com a realidade, em que a Felicidade se forma como as ondas do Oceano. Ao sabor das marés e da Lua.

Saturday March on Lisbon streets

(All photos by Sailor Girl)

While strolling yesterday around Chiado, Lisbon, looking for some more grafittis and stencil paintings to photograph, I was caught by a march of people asking for more union and labour rights. It was quite impressive (almost 5000 people from all over the country), and they looked happy to be there singing and shouting and expressing themselves and their indignation towards some Government measures, something that 35 years ago would not be allowed...
