Monsanto - Historic Village - Part II / Riding Portugal

in #hive-1637722 months ago
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog :-)

Historic part 2.jpg

Walking through all these streets makes us want to learn much more about this village. Over the years, the inhabitants moved down the slope and settled on the plain. Still, there are many who chose to stay here to live. Each street is very well identified so that it can be walked and we know where we have been.

PT

Percorrer todas estas ruas faz-nos querer aprender muito mais sobre esta aldeia. Com o passar dos anos os habitantes foram descendo a encosta e foram-se fixando na planície. Ainda assim são muitos aqueles que optaram por cá ficar a viver. Cada rua está muito bem identificada para que possa ser percorrida e sabermos por onde já andamos.

We had the opportunity to research a little about it before opting for this visit. I had been thinking about it for some time and, as I already mentioned, it was a pleasant surprise. Some well-known names from our history lived here, such as Zeca Afonso or Fernando Namora. So we wanted to go by their houses and show them to the youngest! Zeca Afonso I already had the opportunity to tell you a little about him here in a post. His music is known by everyone in Portugal and for us it means freedom "Grândola Vila Morena".

Tivemos oportunidade de pesquisar um pouco sobre a mesma antes de optarmos por esta visita. Estava já há algum tempo pensada e como já vos referi foi uma agradável surpresa. Aqui habitaram alguns nomes conhecidos da nossa história como Zeca Afonso ou Fernando Namora. Quisemos então passar pelas suas casas e mostrar à mais nova! Zeca Afonso já tive oportunidade de vos falar um pouco sobre ele aqui num post. A sua música é conhecida por todos em Portugal e para nós significa liberdade "Grândola Vila Morena".

He acquired this house, which was never restored. The José Afonso Association and the Municipality of Idanha-a-Nova have a project to transform it into a house-museum dedicated to the singer, who sought inspiration and rest here. His interest in Monsanto may have been influenced by the popular music of Beira Baixa, especially the famous local song "Srª do Almortão", which he recorded in several versions, including the first on the album "Cantares do Andarilho" (1968).
Here, the four-legged friends are all on the loose and don't seem at all bothered by the passing of people or even tourist excursions.

Ele adquiriu esta casa, que nunca foi restaurada. A Associação José Afonso e o Município de Idanha-a-Nova têm um projeto para transformá-la numa casa-museu dedicada ao cantor, que procurava aqui inspiração e descanso. O seu interesse por Monsanto pode ter sido influenciado pela música popular da Beira Baixa, especialmente pela famosa canção local "Srª do Almortão", que ele gravou em várias versões , incluindo a primeira no álbum "Cantares do Andarilho" (1968).
Por aqui os amigos de quatro patas estão todos à solta e não parecem minimamente incomodados com a passagem de pessoas ou até mesmo de excursões de turistas.

They allow everyone to get closer and most of the time they continue their naps in the shade on the landing of the houses.
We continued our walk until we reached the house of someone our girl hadn't met yet and who allowed us to learn something new.
Fernando Namora (1919-1989) was a prestigious Portuguese writer and doctor. He excelled in both literature and medicine, combining these two passions in many of his works.

PT

Permitem que todos se aproximem e na maior parte das vezes continuam as suas sestas na sombra no patamar das casas.
Continuamos o nosso passeio até alcançar a casa de alguém que a nossa miúda ainda não conhecia e que nos permitiu que aprendesse algo novo.
Fernando Namora (1919-1989) foi um prestigiado escritor e médico português. Destacou-se tanto na literatura como na medicina, combinando estas duas paixões em muitos dos seus trabalhos.

Between 1944 and 1946, he practiced medicine at Monsanto, an experience that profoundly influenced his work. Namora wrote several novels, short stories and poetry, and is particularly known for works that explore rural life and social conditions in Portugal, reflecting his experiences as a doctor in isolated regions. Some of his most famous works include "Scraps of a Doctor's Life" and "Diamond Mine." His literary work is celebrated for its sensitivity, realism and deep understanding of human nature.

Algumas das suas obras mais famosas incluem "Retalhos da Vida de um Médico" e "Mina de Diamantes". O seu trabalho literário é celebrado pela sua sensibilidade, realismo e profunda compreensão da natureza humana.

We are happy to be able to get to know our country and that these getaways allow us all to get to know more about our country, its history and the people who were and are part of it.
We firmly believe that this is one of the most beautiful and simple ways to learn and teach. By making these experiences fun, we make her retain much more information than in front of a PC. The books always accompany you and the images will remain engraved in your memory.
Tomorrow I am back :-)

PT

Ficamos felizes por poder conhecer o nosso país e que estas escapadinhas permitam que todos nós fiquemos a conhecer mais sobre o nosso país, a sua história e sobre as pessoas que dele fizeram e fazem parte.
Acreditamos piamente que esta é uma das formas mais bonitas e simples de aprender e ensinar. Ao tornar estas experiencias divertidas fazemos que ela retenha muito mais informação do que em frente a um pc. Os livros acompanham sempre e as imagens vão ficar gravadas na memória.
Amanhã estou de volta :-)

The houses of this wonderful village are made of stone and the walls are very well carved. There are many artists who share their experience in building such houses. Traveling here is really great. It was great to have a fun time with the animals on the trip. But it is full of joy for the souls to rest in the shade of the house. All the best for your journey.
