This text is a chronicle by Vivien Merciel Suarez that describes a sensory experience on the beaches of Northern Portugal. The author presents a paradox: outside, one feels heat and cold wind simultaneously, creating a contradictory sensation on the body.
On the other side, the sea appears as an extreme element that freezes and provokes an intense physical reaction, making the blood circulation "think twice" before the icy temperature of the water.
The chronicle seems to focus on the experience of being on a sparsely frequented beach, where the sea presents itself without the presence of people, intensifying the perception of natural elements. Vivien Merciel Suarez uses this image of the "people-less sea" to highlight the brute force of nature and the vulnerability of the human body before it.
