Cintra

A luminous poetic meditation on the landscapes of Sintra, this work turns mountains, forests, ruins, fountains, and ocean horizons into living presences. Its language moves through mist, twilight, rain, and moonlight, capturing a world where stone becomes alabaster, shadows become apparitions, and every changing color seems to awaken a buried memory.

The poet’s gaze is both intimate and expansive: he longs to dissolve into moss, autumn, birdsong, and the murmuring air, while contemplating the passage of time and the threshold between past, present, and future. Alongside the natural grandeur runs a deep cultural and spiritual current, evoking Portugal’s legends, seafaring history, poets, prophets, and the enduring music of its national imagination. Rich in atmosphere and musical imagery, this collection invites listeners to experience landscape not as scenery alone, but as a place of reverence, longing, and inward transformation.
