Petticoat Lady of Nazaré 

A quote from a war zone's scene said, " I only give food to the women...Women make homes, men just make wars...and hooch." The petticoat women of Nazare are the guardian of this town and have proven that their long standing dedication in traditional trades of "quartos," private rooms for rent, which I was one of the guests, the markets, fishing crafts, faithful devotion to saints and exotic ancestral fashion of petticoat are charted in the charming Nazare touristic town. My land lady is Maria Adelaide Va a Loja. Yes, her apartment has Wi Fi! She does not speak English, neither read or write , but we communicated beautifully just like her smile and her beaming heart.
