Beaches like these inspired some tales of the book. Specially those tales with mermaids were inspired by the white sand and the blue waves. This is a photo of Comporta beach in Alentejo (South of Lisbon). Enjoy!

The gardens of the tale "That Butterfly" are in Lisbon. In June, there are balls all over the city, in the public gardens. There is one plant that people buy. It has intense smell, it is like the garden is at our home. Some people like to place the plant in the moonlight... This plant is from India... and is called "mangerico". See the photo and the poems.
