Students Departure (Coimbra)

Students of passion. Spirit of whom honor the black cape. Singing enchant those who absorb what hear. Coimbra is for all and all who feel nostalgia. The academic season, which fills much of the year, is par excellence the cradle of life of the city. They come from all corners of the country, students flood of reason and meaning of each stone sidewalk, which breathes history of centuries. The Mondego that mirrors the moonlight, the fall in its alleys of stories by counting the streets, breaking back, "tascas" of the traçadinho, the bars of conversation foot of ear, are the joy and comfort those who found a second home, with the hope of finding the mother wisdom. "Coimbra died in July and reborn in September," said Nuno Maricato, 3rd year student of the Faculty of Economics, and official of the Academic Association, lover of the charm of the night and day in the city of nostalgia. AAC is the first poiso, both the "caloiro" as the veteran, who no longer receive and review with great joy. No need presentations and advertisements. Every day and every night shines, seeking illuminate and provide only the good times all that remain there or very shortly. It is the best known bar in the city, where the remains tertúlia the night away and where several generations are crossing and exchange stories of life. AAC is an area at the height of the times, with a mild and friendly environment, accessible to all, highly academic. Closed during the entire month of August. Coimbra fears the summer, as the fish fear network. Do not fear the heat, but the absence of their students, faithful during almost the entire year. Although nascendo and dying repeatedly, the city radiates prosperity and hope. The low turn, is the heart, but not to be centre for the tradition of old stores and refurbished. Beirais of those old windows in granite. For the doors that require high regard. For the doves who follow in the footsteps of all. For the interweaving of parallel streets of spending. For the esplanade rustic occupied by the children of the newspaper. For the confusion of people who know where to vai. And especially, the student who desfila trajado in pride. Maricato also stressed that "the city was deserted just pleased with the tourists who come to see" not curious finding that "the Old University is the second most sought tourist point of the whole country by foreign tourists and also that the traditional trade only survives the summer for them. " However, some tourists also take leave and seek common trend for the party and the crowd, next to the white sand beaches of Figueira da Foz. The traditional trade, "has had better days," said D. Deolinda Fernandes, owner of a kiosk in the downtown of the city. This constraint to business agravasse with the arrival of the warm season of the year, but she feels increasingly because of the huge areas that are deeply persuasoras and invincible, speaking at more affordable prices and in diversity of products. Therefore, it becomes extremely complicated the lives of small traders who will maintain a certain magic and personality to the small square meters occupying, for the exercise of their profession. The end of the school year is constrangedor and painful to Coimbra. Students esgueiram up in confusion and return to their origins. To leave behind their new or old friends, his usual coffee, the evening university, learning to be less supported and mystique of the river that gives luck with the turnip bitten on the margins. All without exception fear the solitude and even those who chose to live in the city, seeking the anesthesia of pain for the deafening silence, close to the sea, Figueira da Foz.
