Portuguese term

em corridinho

Portuguese to English Social Sciences Tourism & Travel
From a Madeira tourism guide:

"Neste pequeno e modesto roteiro turístico faremos uma pequena viagem no tempo na qual passaremos pela História, pelas lendas, pelas histórias contadas pelos mais antigos ao calor das lareiras, aos lugares mais emblemáticos da freguesia não esquecendo a flora e a fauna da nossa “imortalizada” laurissilva que nos rodeia neste planalto banhado pelo sol e pelas nuvens que vêem em corridinho desde o pico Ruivo!"

Any suggestions and/or explanations of "em corridinho" would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

that dance across the sky

I'd say 'the clouds that dance across the sky from Pico Ruivo'.

The corridinho is a Portuguese folk dance:

Peer comment(s):

agree Gilmar Fernandes : Yes, I also thought this was an allusion to the folk dance. I'd say it's something akin to square dancing in the US (?)

clouds scudding across Pico Ruivo

Clouds may dance in Portuguese, but they scud in English. See definition of scud in the OED or any dictionary.
