PS: “8 or 80” is an old Portuguese proverb that refers to the Nazaré way of life – a kind of mentality, a spectrum in dealing with each other, a certain basic tension but never escalation, binary thought patterns and above all the range of variation in wave height (8-80 feet), wave speed (up to 80 km/h) and age.
