【納扎雷女士們的傳統打扮】
【 The traditionally dressed ladies from Nazaré 】

比起首都里斯本和北部第二大城市波圖 , Nazaré 看來好像是寂寂無名。但如果你是一位衝浪迷, 那沒有可能你沒有聽過Nazaré 這個大名。

Compared to Lisbon and Porto, Nazaré seems insignificant to many visitors. But if you're a big fan of surfing, there's no way that you have never heard of the town called Nazaré.

Nazaré 位在葡萄牙中部海岸, 寧靜的小漁村在夏天卻變身為擠滿渡假人士的著名海濱小鎮; 更是世界著名的衝浪天堂!

很多衝浪選手都喜歡在這一帶衝浪, 是因為這帶海域的巨浪。我就某天在 Nazaré 遊玩期間, 在餐廳碰到兩位西班牙男生, 他們專誠從馬德里附近駕車來到 Nazaré , 為的就是要衝浪! 美國衝浪專家 Garrett McNamara就曾經在2013年1月時, 在 Nazaré 對出大海創造出世界最高的100呎 (~30米) 的衝浪紀錄, 使 Nazaré 的名字更廣為人知。

Nazaré - a coastal seaside town in central Portugal. A quiet small fishing village turns into a popular and packed summer vacation resort every summer. Plus, it is a world-famous surfing paradise!

Many surfers like to surf on the super big waves off the coast of Nazaré. One day while I was in Nazaré, I met two young Spanish guys at a restaurant. They drove all the way from the vicinity of Madrid to Nazaré for the pure purpose of SURFING! In January 2013, American professional surfer Garrett McNamara broke the world record by surfing an estimated 100-foot (30m) wave off the coast of Nazaré, making this town even more well-known.

來到 Nazaré, 你會感到那種強烈的小漁村風味, 鎮內居民仍保持著極為傳統的生活習慣。 不少當地女性, 都穿著傳統服飾, 更有趣是, 街上經常會見到女士頭頂重物走過, 一些更是邊走著邊唱歌。暫時為止, 在葡萄牙我只在 Nazaré 見過這種特別的情景。

說起來, 這些穿著傳統服飾頭頂東西的女士, 是稱做「Varinas」, 他們的丈夫以前 (或現在) 都是漁夫, 出海打漁, 在以前, 丈夫在海上得到漁獲回來後, 就交給太太們擺賣。過往, 頂在她們頭上的都是漁獲; 今時今日, 可看到她們也有把其他的東西都頂到頭上去。 :-)

Talking about Nazaré, people there still maintain a very traditional lifestyle. Many local women in this village still dress in their traditional costumes, and more interestingly, many of them even carry heavy things on their heads while walking on the streets. Nazaré is by far the only place in Portugal that I have seen such a particular scene.

Those women in traditional costumes and walk with things on their heads are called "Varinas" - meaning wives of fishermen. In the old days (or maybe until the present), fishermen - their husbands - went fishing on the sea. Fishermen returned from the sea with big hauls of fish and the "varinas" would sell them on the streets and in the markets. In the past, "varinas" put their catches on their heads whereas nowadays, other things can go on top of the heads too. :-)
