Hiking

It is almost impossible not to stop in front of this group of sculptures by José João, erected in 2005. It commemorates the unfortunate events that followed a violent storm on the morning of 2 December 1947, in which numerous ships were shipwrecked and 152 sailors died.

The figures in this ensemble are intended to reflect the horrified reactions of the women and children who had to watch as their husbands and fathers, all fishermen, died in a shipping disaster in 1947.
