OMG Josh!!!! Your Portuguese accent has become so authentic! I am so impressed! Parabéns, cara! And, the Rod Serling sounding narrative gave the vlog an other-wordly feeling. I don't eat beef or pork, I knew about alheira, knew I would eat that for sure, but had never seen it. Thanks for including that!
@antoniof9756 2 жыл бұрын
Regarding the alheira, now some producers create some variations without pork or even any meat, so more people can enjoy it.

Thanks, Sara! 😃 You know, I'm working on it. Listening and parroting as much as possible. I'm channeling my inner-Cia (she parrots everything at the moment ⚠️). It's amazing. You're the second person to call it a Rod Serling sound narrative. I'm assuming it's a compliment as he's an OG. 😅 The particular alheira was our favorite that we've had. At first, Kalie didn't even know it was alheira. - Josh & Kalie

Hello everyone… it’s a fun coincidence but I was there this year, on Saturday, and I loved it… the all village has an atmosphere that transport us to ancient times…the Caretos are very fun and off course, they shook us, specially my daughters 😅. Did you know that they are allowed to everything but enter the church? I’m from the Setubal region, but we are definitely going to come back. Btw, there are Caretos in more villages in Trás os Montes…check out Caretos de Lazarim… ah, and you must definitely try the posta…a big chunk of meat, a traditional dish from north of Portugal (posta mirandesa). We ate at the taverns and the bread and the wine we’re free … 😜

Love this! Great narration Josh and Cia's smile at the beginning was, for me, a showstopper. Was Cia afraid of the costumes at any point? I would love to visit Podence during Carnaval but it doesn't seem too easily accessible without a car from Porto. It would be fun to do with a group. I know that every city in Portugal has its own Carnaval and I was hoping to see some video content like one this! Thank you.

Regarding the 60's and 70's, the tradition almost disapeared because most young men went to bigger towns, to war or emigrated abroad, so there was almost no one to carry on with the "caretos". pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caretos_de_Podence
