In Póvoa de Varzim
As in Balasar there was no school for girls,
Deolinda and Alexandrina were sent to study in Póvoa de Varzim. Alexandrina
confesses she learned little. But her schooldays in Póvoa showed her that the
urban life of a small town was very different from her rural parish. It allowed
her also to experience the sea and to see the Church was under Republican
persecution.
It was during this period that she made her First Communion and
Confirmation.
