The Chapel Bells on Dias Islet |
Some places are awe-inspiring.
So uncommon, so self-defined.
A strangely formed floating rock, just offshore, with only a small chapel atop, and hundreds of seagulls keeping vigil till the bravest of summer visitors arrive.
Most come on a pilgrimage in the beginning of July to participate in the centuries-old religious event. Among them, the curious who join in to experience the climb, the view, the exhilaration of being just a little bit closer to the heavens.
The climb is steep and exhausting—I lost count at the 100th step!
But conquering Dias was well worth it.
