A journey at the speed of earlier centuries through Portugal
In short: Travel beyond the vacation clichés to discover the rugged, unbridled side of the Atlantic coast. This documentary captures a slow-motion journey through centuries-old traditions and diverse climates, moving from Portugal's west coast to the Spanish border.
The film follows a rail journey that emphasizes discovery over speed, traversing a landscape of rugged cliffs, surfing paradises, and steep vineyards. It highlights the contrast between the coastal wildness and the inland traditions of the region.
The route covers the transition from Portugal's west coast to the northeast border, eventually connecting to the FEVE narrow-gauge railroad in northern Spain. This specific stretch from Bilbao to Asturias takes approximately eight hours to cover 300 kilometers, preserving a sense of historical originality.
