Project 365 Day 203: Follow the Leader

Project 365 Day 149: Dying Trades
One of the dying trades in my hometown area of Aveiro and Coimbra is agriculture. Many families in the region survived with producing on their inherited lands, for consumption and for sale.

Project 365 Day 92: Calvão Market
One of my favourite things to do whenever I’m home in Portugal is to visit the farmer’s market. There are many, each day in a different place, some with more vendors than others. But going to one is like going back in time. Many of the locals produce at home, and whatever excess they have, they sell to make extra earnings to help the household income. This fresh produce vendor at the farmer’s market in Calvão, Vagos, Aveiro starts to put her items away as the day comes slowly to an end.
