It is similar to the French and the Portuguese word is "Misericordia" ;-)<br>A Misericordia is an institution in Portugal founded by Queen Leonor in 1498 (the year that Portugal reaches India by sea) to protect the poors. <br>Nowadays, they are spread over de world, and I must say, by personal experience, they are very good. When my mother had broken her wrist, she asked for their cleaning house services and to help her take her bath. Everybody can apply for their services and we pay according to our possibilities. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>2Presépio no Canalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15678476381577723495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610263612974131651.post-80812110526586801262010-09-16T18:54:53.252-07:002010-09-16T18:54:53.252-07:00Sandra,Very pretty this place, and I love the plac...Sandra,<br>Very pretty this place, and I love the places with medieval history...

I especially love the second photo because there is something about the living areas of a different culture which seems to draw me in more than anything. Says a lot about the people & the history, which I love!

Love them all! Especially #2! <br>I didn't know there was a second official language in Portugal - that goes to show I need to read more about the origin and development of our own language... <br>I love the word "rapaç" and "rapaza" - they use those same words in Spain as well (*we* don't). Very interesting!<br>The dance also reminds me of "munheiras" from Galicia - I learned to dance them when I was a kid :D (ohhh ok if you insist, I'll dance for you) <br>And the landscape.... fantastic.
