Praia* , we’re not Spain. As a curiosity I believe there are no Portuguese words wit the letter K, W or Y.

I apologize for that, must have auto corrected just before posting and I can't change it anymore. Enjoy your upvote and have a great rest of your day :)

Actually, the most notable is that there are no words that end in “n” except for gin

Those seem like mostly loan words from other languages though

OMG you're right! They do seem a lot like Latin! Oh wait...

Overall-Ad-3642 t1_j9c6vyw wrote

Mainly english, but yeah we've got plenty of words ending in the letter n.

Maybe not in 1400's portugese but in modern portugese we do

*Praia. If you ever get a chance to visit the Algarve, do it.

+1 to that! One of the most beautiful places on Earth!

I was here last summer and it was gorgeous. I actually remember swimming in this area.

Great! Do You by any chance have some photos you'd like to share?

chuckieduck t1_j97047r wrote

I was there too! Praia do Submarino was my fav in the Algarve.

Overall-Ad-3642 t1_j9c7cwx wrote

In my opinion Algarve is too overpopulated by tourists. Beaches near Coimbra are nice, don't have that many tourists either.

​

Note: Not that I hate tourists, just that it makes the beaches more overcrowded. We've only got a population of like 10,000,000 anyways, most of which don't live near a beach. It is a fact that beaches are mostly populated by tourists (either foreign tourists or portuguese tourists)

Sorry, can't correct the title anymore - I will be more careful in the future. Hopefully, the picture is rewarding enough for the time being.

I can A hear this picture and B expect to see treasure.

mikeesfp OP t1_j95aw39 wrote

A - same here. B - sadly, no treasure found. C - I take that back, the experience of crawling and taking photos there is a treasure itself :)

ReasonablyBadass t1_j95c1et wrote

True. But it just looks like the place in a movie or game you would expect to see littered with gold coins.

" Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea "

Is this a shot you took yourself OP?

8

mikeesfp OP t1_j96jbee wrote

Yes, in 2021. Here is a link to the same photo on my Flickr account: https://flickr.com/photos/mikeesfp/51645564617/in/datetaken-public/

GeeZus-420 t1_j96jevp wrote

Beautiful work. What gear were you using?

7

mikeesfp OP t1_j96ki6a wrote

A GoPro Hero 10 actually :) for this one. You can see all the camera details in EXIF, just below the photo in the flickr link.

*Edit - since it was menthioned in one of the other comments, the camera was inside a 50/50 dome, which allowed the equal seperation of the water and the surface. Don't get me started on preparing that thing for "salt water" work, as in frame droplets were a real hassle during the photo shoot.

That’s an amazing shot! It looks like two different worlds. Great job 👏

Thank You, it was worth the scrapes and random splashes with the incoming tide to grab this shot. After man tries the light finally hit the right spot and here we are :).

ktmfinx t1_j95to7g wrote

Great shot! I thought this was called Cabo de Roca, or is that something else nearby?

4

speedcunt t1_j95utpp wrote

That's a different place all together, Praia da Rocha is in the Algarve (south coast), Cabo da Roca is in Sintra (west coast). They're ~300 km apart. Praia da Rocha is a beach with cliffs and caves, Cabo da Roca is a cape and a huge cliff straight into the sea.

mikeesfp OP t1_j95wqva wrote

Thank You, yes I can confirm this was taken in the Algarve coast!

adirtycharleton t1_j95puoz wrote

In a weird way it reminds me of that Baywatch episode with the giant octopus in the cave.

3

teffligrind t1_j97ompd wrote

Exactly my thought! I was looking for the octopus in OPs picture. And a moment later thinking, if this is the cave the scene was shot at.

It's a very random memory, i did not watch it again since then, must be around 25 years since. And also I was not an avid baywatch watcher, it was just a random after-school tv experience. But it seems to be burnt in my mind

Well... percentage wise I have to disagree. It's like 52% under water, but hey "that's just like Your opinion.. :D".

Ahhh, I didn't see that it's halfway underwater.

Animated friendly ones or the ones that hypnotized, drowned and possibly ate unexpecting sailors?
