Photographer’s Note

In my last post of Arcos de Valdevez, province of Minho, Northern Portugal, I told you about the Medieval Fair, a representation of a medieval market, with real products on sale and reconstitution of events, like the historic Valdevez Tournament of 1140.
In this picture you see some products like herbal teas and "healing liquors" that are still produced nowadays. A few of those bottles are a liquor called levanta o pau. You know, nowadays some men take the famous blue pills to treat impotence. Levanta o pau is the medieval Viagra!
I'd like to present a good photo including the seller, but I didn't achieve it. Anyway, in the workshop I present a picture of her.
