TAVIRA · SUMMER 2025 · 640 KM · 56 HOURS OF SUN · -14º WATER · 3 TENSIONS · TOO MUCH ALCOHOL · INFINITE MEMORIES
Too much sun, freezing water, questionable decisions and long hours doing absolutely nothing. Somewhere in between, the kind of memories that outlive everything else.
A story about friendship, summer, and why it was probably never that serious.
